Taking 2 days to do a one day job

[Mike Johnson]

Thankfully I have avoided COVID so far (and with one vaccination down, hopefully forever) but two guys I know who had it took months to get better again However, a couple of other folk were OK after 2-3 weeks.

Second day after second jab, arm is aching and feeling rather lethargic, but then I don't need a vaccine to make me feel like that, a bottle of claret will do it every time.

Second day progressed to mild hand shaking and unstable on my feet, all fine now though, back to the claret or maybe a Bordeaux, just a bit different. ?

Shaking hands is OK on your side of the Channel, is it? We're still just waving at everyone.

Glad you've got your stability back.

You're advised to lay off the booze for a bit before and after the jab to give your immune system the best chance to work properly. It may not be official NHS advice, because there's no "evidence" (which there would never be without massive trials) but I decided that if expert immunologists were advising caution based on their general expertise in the immune system I'd rather play it safe.

One benefit was it made me try a number of alcohol-free beers,and I found that some of them are perfectly fine, to the point where I don't even have to add "...for an alcohol-free beer" after that.

Alcohol free beers have much improved in recent years.... gone is the stigma among mates when someone’s downing the 0% stuff.

There are some good IPAs and wheat beers. And Big Drop's milk stout is jolly nice.

I've yet to find an even half-decent AF bitter, and don't get me started on AF "cider"... ?
