Sorry for the delay - Mrs Worrier and myself have both been battling the dreaded you know what. Still we've got past the "go away and let me suffer in peace" bit and it's looking good.

A great set of answers finishes it off nicely folks. Never seen that before, Cheryl - I will now be in the same position as you

Rog, very sorry to hear about your illness, but glad to hear that you and your wife are on the mend!

Thanks, Marian - in a way it was better we both had it at the same time

I'm glad you're both feeling better and hope you both recover completely.

Saw a greeting card the other day that said, "Why don't ants catch coronavirus?"

...Because they have ant-i-bodies.

On a serious note, Rog, I wish you and Mrs. Worrier a speedier recovery!

Ditto what's been said Urban Worrier. Glad you are both on the mend and that you have no lingering effects.

That is very sweet of you all!

Very glad to hear you are both on the mend, Urban Worrier

We've both had the over-75 booster - guess that helped

Glad you are both on the mend UW
