I found this one and wondered if you could confirm it to be the same, or let me know where your's came from? :)

That's the one Mick, proving very good and when not in use in the car I use it as a 'pantry transmitter' in the house to rebroadcast a chosen DAB station to my vintage VHF/FM radios around the house :)

It puts out a very strong VHF/FM rebroadcast signal!

The stabbing went really well today :)

Northampton has a supremely well organised vaccination centre and it was a pleasure to visit!

No side-effects yet - touch-wood 🤞

Daffodil was a true delight there and back... She runs and drives absolutely beautifully :D And so comfy too!

On our way home she called in to visit one of her old friends ;)

The Covid jab has definitely done its thing judging by my feverish and 'flu-like feeling when I woke up this morning after a bit of a restless night...

Despite that I still ran 10K to complete day 8 of my TEN4TEN challenge :)

Not quite as fast as usual but not bad, all things considered :)

I felt much better after that run...

Just two days of the challenge left now and touch-wood I'll be good to complete it on Wednesday morning 🤞

I then went for a bike ride as the weather down this way is still good... Felt even better after that :D It just shows the restorative powers of a decent run and bike ride :) :cool:

I couldn't resist taking a totally gratuitous close-up of my favourite bike at highest point in the locality :)

Didn't have any ill effects from my first jab but the second one gave me flue like symptoms but only for about 12 hours, I had the Pfizer one. Pleased to hear you are feeling better now.

Happily, totally back to normal this morning Peter :D At least a reaction shows the jab has worked!

Despite the rather wet and windy weather this morning I was delighted to complete the TEN4TEN running challenge :D

The challenge was to run 10Km every day between March 1st and March 10th...

This was my final run of the challenge...

Not as fast as yesterday but given I got soaked to the skin and battled high winds I'm well pleased with it ;)

A medal should soon arrive in the post :)

Back better than ever Peter :)

Those microchips they injected have make a tremendous difference :wink: :lol:

I know they injected them as Bill Gates congratulated me on completing the challenge as soon as I'd competed it!

They only work when I'm in a good 5G signal area....

Is it Bill Gates who gets them produced, or McCains?

Apparently the MD of McCains is a very well balanced man, he has a chip on both shoulders! :-D

The microchips need that for induction charging.
