I know where you mean Lons - a great part of the world but at the mercy of some spectacular weather.
I occasionally drive up and on one trip heading back about 6/7 years ago filled up with Petrol at the Purdy Inn and in the time it took me to go in and pay 2 inches of snow covered the car.

Missus had her first jab (Moderna) yesterday and like me (AZ) cannot sleep on that side.
We never had this problems with flu jabs even when we administered them ourselves.

Ham-fisted nurse doing the injection with a horse syringe? At least, that's the only explanation for the puncture mark in LOML's upper arm, the significant bruising and soreness 9 days later.

I learned long ago that some people have the skill and some are absolutely hopeless at it – bit like woodwork!

I always like to get the first punch in as well

I added that meaning I don't use any muscle effort to move my arm. I just let it hang under gravity.
Usually with this technique I don't even feel the needle or the fluid injection.
