[11:57] <daftykins> hey gang \o
[11:57] <daftykins> hilarious video from Mr Carlson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS-EDP3Kxl0
[12:28]  * penguin42 watches
[12:34] <penguin42> yeh very nice
[12:41] <daftykins> :D
[12:42] <daftykins> i forget if i've been in since my Oktoberfest trip, just recovering from the bout of COVID i picked up since arriving home
[12:42] <daftykins> this one comes along with the theft of sense of smell!
[12:44] <penguin42> oh, great
[12:44] <penguin42> coincidentally I've just booked a covid vaccination at the local chemist and need to go out in 30mins
[12:45] <penguin42> (Paid for, should be Pfizer)
[12:45] <daftykins> ah har! thankfully you are a safe distance from me (:
[12:45]  * penguin42 wipes the screen down
[12:45] <daftykins> i never had more than one back in the day, due to the pericarditis side effect
[12:46] <penguin42> ah
[12:46] <penguin42> I've had all the NHS ones (Moderna, and Pfizer) until the last one they offered in 2022
[12:46] <penguin42> and I had Covid back in March and it wasn't fun
[12:47] <daftykins> makes you wonder what it would have been like without any!
[12:47] <daftykins> i haven't found my two bouts particularly challenging, aside from not having much food at home
[12:49] <penguin42> I had one or two very hot days, and things slowly got better - took a few weeks for the cough to stop and to stop feeling very tired
[12:50] <penguin42> (and my mum got it off me, and had similar level)
[12:50] <daftykins> ah yeah i remember the fatigue last time
[23:31] <penguin42> I wonder what broke for Cotton Traders; they're advising of delays due to 'essential system maintenance following an unexpected network outage,'
