Mrs A complained of feeling cold yesterday evening after the jab, but there's not much unusual in that...there's a (part) Scotsman in charge of the thermostat.

You don’t hog the TV remote as well, do you?

Oh no, that's definitely communal property. I've got my other places to watch the rugby when it's on. Mrs A is most welcome to adjust the thermostat but she chooses not to, preferring to harangue the staff (me). The latter approach is not conducive to compliance with demands. But it's there, in the hall, and anyone can use it.

That dates your house — and mine. Who thought it was a good idea to use the temperature in the hall as a guide for the entire house? (Just to push the archaic point home, our dial is calibrated in degrees [what the] F.)

Oh at least I've got Celcius. I think it was upgraded once, when there was a boiler replacement, sometime late 80s/early 90s I would think.

Our house was built in 2002 and the heating thermostat is in the hall. It's sort of a game we play, every time I walk past it I turn it down, and every time my wife passes it she turns it up.
She's only 5' 2" so I'm thinking of moving it higher up the wall...

Good idea.
Funny the perceptions you get isn't it, I'd always imagined you living in a 30s detached house.

This is the only modern house I've ever lived in. I hate it more or less. It can look quite good in certain lights but it's pretty much made of cheese.

Same here, first modern house. Mind you it's 50 years old now so almost period property. I love it because it is of a high quality construction, has a great layout, and plenty of light. Total contrast to the Edwardian semi we used to have. I realise though that my particular house is a bit of an exception to the rule for its period, most things of the same era were poorly constructed. Which is a shame regarding kerb appeal and value, because it *looks* like the shoddy nasty ones on the other side of town, but it is in fact nothing like them. Which was handy when I was buying it, but not so much now I'm thinking of the end game and selling it. Still, mustn't grumble, have done very well out of it on paper.

We have a Hive, which lives in the hall, but is also controlled from my phone . She could have it on her phone as well but she won't do that....

MrsB1 had hers yesterday. Same room as mine but, curiously, AZ rather than PB.

Oof, getting a blast of the collywobbles afer being microchipped yesterday. Light headed, nauseous, chills, achy and tired. Bit like a hangover, medium grade. Hope it doesn't last long. Well, it better be over before the rugby on Friday night and the lads' beery zoom call to watch it. Might go for a lie down, just in case.
Better than risking spreading or contracting the disease of course.
Sent the missus out to buy tinned tomato soup. Defcon Level: 2.
EDIT to add: jolly sore arm.

Take it easy, took me a good 5 days to feel back on form. My wife had hers last Friday and she is still not quite back to normal. Very tired and off her food.

I take it from the symptoms you had the OAZ vaccine. My wife had all you mention apart from feeling sick. She was feeling a bit exhausted for a few days. They say you don't get the same sort of reaction after the second.
I didn't feel anything when I had mine, not even the needle going in. Arm wasn't sore either but pressure on the injection site was a bit sensitive. I had the Pfizer one and had no side effects at all. They say some do have a reaction to the second Pfizer one. We shall see.
