Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Oh no. It seems to be on the rise again.

Seems John! My sister has it now, a visit to the Docs or Dentist requires wearing a mask- it ain't going away in a hurry.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I've had covid jabs the last two years but I'm now deemed not at risk, despite my age, so I don't qualify for another booster. I've not even heard yet about the annual flu jab so I'm wondering if that will be down to me using the company scheme.
Not sure cutting back on eligibility is a good idea just yet. Family wedding next weekend so I just hope I don't finally come down with it beforehand.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
There's a new strain about and the Autumn is a time for an up tick if the past two years are anything to go by. I know of quite few with it at the moment. Wore my mask to the shops for the first time in ages today.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Typical, lovely Sunday morning and I've been flattened by a virus the last couple of days.
You know it's bad when you can't be arsed going out on the bike! |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I have a gripe about Meteo (they supply the BBC's weather forecasting). On the Humber estuary, at least, it's hopelessly optimistic.
Yesterday's Meteo forecast - sunny all day 21°C Met office forecast - cloudy all day 18° C Met office spot on, Meteo wildly out. It was worse for Friday; Meteo forecast sunny intervals - reality occasional drizzle. Met office were closer saying cloudy all day. Meteo is American and I think their inherent optimism affects their forecasting. I watched the live forecast on the Beeb news channel and they were saying I was in sunshine all afternoon - looking out the window said otherwise. Maybe they need a new pine cone and piece of seaweed?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My wife tells me not to bother with forecasting, they are normally always wrong anyway
