Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First Mendip based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair and H&S rep for the depot branch of Unite the Union. Married to Fiona, we live in Midsomer Norton near Bath, with Boots the cat. My main hobby is Amateur Radio and I hold the call sign G4KVI. I am the repeater keeper for GB3UB and MB7UB. I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

Covid jab

Wife and I had our first Covid Jab (Pfizer) back in February, I had some side effects which were fairly mild, flu like symptoms and sore arm. My Wife had none. On Wednesday we had our second and the side effects were much worse resulting in time off work. This is a blow by blow account. We had the Pfizer jab at 1230 on Wednesday. Everything was fine until around 2330. Started with back pain, headache, sore arm and shakes. By around 0300 I could hardly move and couldn't move my arm at all. These symptoms continued until around 1300 on Thursday where they eased slightly. It took till this morning, Friday, to feel normal which just very slight pain at the injection site. I publish these hopefully to give some of you a bit of a heads up.
