Got flu vaccine (was expecting a covid one too, but sadly no dice), and I asked them to administer to my left arm. I am right handed, but I’d managed to forget that I primarily use my left for walking stick…

Took the boys to ‘Goo Times’, an all-ages gig and slime-making show at Good Times as part of the launch tour of Pictish Trail’s ‘Life Slime’
