Medicined

Got my annual flu vaccination. Before me, a family of five were obviously getting their shots. Heard crying from behind the GP's door. "That'll be the youngest lad," I thought. Then cheering and clapping. When the door opened and the family exited, said kid was happily clutching a packet of lollies.

Went to the supermarket on the way home. In the carpark, an older gent with a long white beard walked over, gesticulating. Was he gonna have a go at me for wearing a mask? Quite the opposite! He merely wanted to recommend using antiseptic surface spray on the hands as superior to sanitiser gel. I thanked him for the (rather extreme) tip.
