OK I assume someone is going to get annoyed by this but here goes. I had Covid last week. I’m triple vaxxed and it seemed to last about 2 days and I wasn’t very sick? Just fatigued really. The most annoying this was @actgovernment forms. I gave up. Anyway that’s my covid story !

@DrShaneRRR I’ve given pot plants in this situation- they can take home or leave at work. Most people like a 🪴

Question for Twitter GPs: How do I thank my amazing GP for going beyond the call yesterday for a family member? What is appropriate? A gift? Card? Are their GP awards? Ideas please.

@nbkaye Yay!!! See you tomorrow 🎉😀
