Good Morning.
Getting Grim here now 38,501 cases yesterday and a big announcement tonight as to what the Government proposes.
Thankfully around me is all peace and calm.
The 2CV coming together nicely.
Stay Safe all.

Morning all. WFH obviously, time to start bringing the team together. There was very little surprise on the call, but we have the wider group on Friday.

Jab this afternoon. Given the current possibilities, rather glad I opted to take a drive than wait.

Have a great day, all and stay safe.

Hopefully it will be a decent vaccination roadmap Phil!

morning all, yesterday broke me (and Nick), installing the trampoline, some serious concrete needed breaking out to get it shifted into place. Finished in the dark with just some turfing and bagging spoil to do later today. Got to find some turf, meeting in Laytonstone and then up to finish the job.

Have fun all...

Morning all....

Morning Phil...keep safe buddy as it isn’t great for you over there.

What a day yesterday. Had a call from Mum at 2 o’clock to say that Dad had another fall at the top of the stairs and cut his head. He had two cuts. One at the front which wasn’t too bad but the one of the back was about 4inch long and looked deep and open. Phoned 111 and they advised to phone 999 and get an ambulance. He did Not pass out and was fine in himself....My Dad never feels pain weirdly......So, phoned the ambulance at 14:40........It turned up at......21:00. Because he was stable every time an emergency came in he was pushed back Which fully understand. They did phone every hour and a half though to keep us updated. Was concerned though as he is 86 but understand in the current climate......So they took him to hospital as they could see the deep cut was down to the bone.......and he still didn’t feel any pain and sat their for 7 hours like nothing had happened....Think he is must have been Iron Man in a different life. He got to hospital around 22:00 and was stitched up at 3:30......The ambulance crew saw him sat there and was concerned he hadn’t been stitch up so chased up and it was done straight away once they got involved. So a bit of a 15 hours for him.....I picked him up at 5 and he is now having a deserved rest.

Good morning everyone, famous last words yesterday. I felt fine first thing the it hit me. Around 8am a sharp headache at the temples and joint aches, followed by sore throat and a pitiful cough. I feel better now but it took me out for a day.

Morning all, failed my first Irish citizen test as I can remember most of Paddy's Day.

Off into Dublin today first time this year, bizarrely looking forward to it mainly so I can visit M&S and get some proper English cheese

Morning, all. Button-bashing, screen-squinting, call-yelling, coffee-chugging.

Must be xxxday.

AZ side effects so far are an aching arm. Apparently it can take up to 48 hours to kick-in. Que sera sera, as someone once sang, with scant disregard for grammatical purity.

Andy, I hope Tony Stark repairs fast. Best wishes, fella.

Morning all.

I do wonder whether the worse you feel, the more effective the vaccine has been.... Some notion that it must be working if the body is reacting like that. But no data on this. (I have had a very slightly bruised arm, but no other symptoms at all.)

No, apparenty not. Whether you get any side effects at all, and how extreme, doesn't indicate how well the vaccine is doing its thang. Or so I read.

Morning all. Office for conference calls and more of the same today.
Hopefully will tie up some new clients over the next few days and will hopefully do a lot of work with them over the next few months.

Only down side of today is that I'm totally knackered. Joseph woke at 4am this morning and wouldn't go back to sleep.
I now feel like a zombie. Kids eh?
