We had an A6 sized version with QR code which could be read by an app on our phone: you had to produce it if you wanted to enter most shops (but not food shops as I recall) or get on public transport. At one point we had to check ID as well to make sure no-one was giving their certificate to someone else.

In the blue bar where your name and alerts and search things are, click on your name, then look in what pops up and click 'ignoring' then 'threads' and you should be able to un-ignore it there.

I cannot stay indoors all day so tried for a walk but rain started pouring down so had to abandon that idea.
Stressful afternoon trying to sort out OVO as they want to charge me about £12000 for heating in the last month.
Call centre has the usual staff with impenetrable accents but eventually got one who was understandable.
It would appear [ tho' he would not openly admit this] that they employed a meter reader who entered nonsense figures thus causing massive discrepancies when I entered the current readings into their website. Strangely a neighbour had the same problem possibly caused by the same reader. He complained on the local FB page and it seems others had similar problems. Many had switched already and some were contemplating doing the same.
The guy I spoke with latterly did seem sensible so a photo of the actual meters sent off and hope for a speedy resolution.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.
The vaccine certificate was a big fuss when the vaccine came out first and we were told we would need it to enter pubs, nightclubs, theatres, etc and would need it to go on holidays abroad. There were emails floating around at work hinting that anyone who didn't have proof of vaccination would have to continue working from home and not be allowed in the office.
I admit I haven't really been abroad, apart from the Isle of Islay, but I've done all the other things and nobody ever asked for it. I thought it was one of those ideas that died quietly, to be be forgotten in the mists of time. Hence the surprise when I got a new one emailed to me.
Nice to know the government is keeping us safe and the civil service are being productive, using my tax money wisely and justifying their wages!

Fabby supper of braised lamb chops with garlic & mint, clapshot and steamed & buttered savoy cabbage. 
Still a bit of clapshot, cabbage and gravy left, so it's all in a dish in the fridge waiting to be turned into some bubble & squeak.

Trying to work out whether to go ahead with a quote I've had for solor panels, battery, etc. At £7500 to £8000 depending on the number of panels it's a lot of money (for me - especially as a low energy user), but as I'll be at home more from next year it could be worth it in the long term.
I went to a tribute night to a much-loved musician who died recently with a friend. Very enjoyable evening.
Several things tell me I am getting old. I never realised how low a Ford Focus is before, it's suddenly difficult to get back of it in my current condition.
Also when getting ready, the most important thing to have in my pocket was not things like money or a condom just incase. It was my tube of Deep Heat.

There is a bit of NRF maths to work it out. I'll be back if I can find it.
