Today I am volunteering at the school where Mrs D works, supervising brats kids as they do their own covid test, all sociall distanced and PPE'd up of course.

The call went out for volunteers and the local branch of NARPO heard about it and sent the plea to their members, so almost all those who put their hand up are ex coppers. No pay, but all the tea and biscuits you can manage. I put my name down for today and next wednesday.
Oh no a bad idea I can see it all going wrong.There is a buzz in the school sports hall,the double doors open the pupils turn to see who is entering.There framed in the doorway,lit by the light of the windows stands Drago,there is a sigh of admiration as the girls see Gilderoy Lockhart.Defence Master of the Dark Arts..Then the screaming starts and the fainting begins.No no bad idea.

Had a wander to the supermarket and was good again buying healthy stuff 😇:laugh: Also bought some relaxing bath stuff and might try a warm bath before bed. Hoping a combination of better diet and sleep will transform me into a new woman! At the moment, it’s just making me lethargic and crabbit as I’m missing sugar! :laugh:

I ventured out in the wind and rain for a short run. I’ve acquired some great kit over the years and my OMM Kamleika jacket is as near perfect as it gets. Weighs next to nothing and keeps me dry without getting too sweaty.
Did 30 minutes on the turbo trainer when I got back, I usually put a splash of cordial in my drinks bottle but I’ve run out. A rummage around the back of the cupboard revealed a bottle of ginger punch, best before end of December 2019.
I really like ginger, when I tasted the punch it tasted of cloves and spices so I’m feeling a bit christmassy 🎅🎄😁

I've not been very well, on Monday I thought I had Man flu, yesterday I went for my covid jab, during the night I had a high temperature 100.7F, took two paracetamol to try and get it down, but at 04:00 it was up again.
Took two more at 09:30 as it was still high and I was feeling like crap, it went down so I had some breakfast, but it's back up to 99.6F again.
I now thing I may have had a reaction to the covid jab as it does say flu like symptoms with high temperature. :sad:
