Fine. Last symptoms (pain and heat at the injection site) faded out after a week, so way, way better than getting the full thing!

Good to hear - hopefully the second jab will be drama free - all I had was a dull ache in the injection site and a heavy feeling in my arm.

Would be good - but this time I'll plan for the worst and hopefully get an easy ride.
Herself had an easy time with both hew jabs.

I have learned two new words today - to forgot them in no time...
Wonder if those are words in use really...

You should have taken it! Yes, both words are in use, but not that often in my experience.
|

I did not knew the words - understood the clue and solved it using anagram solver (online)... So probably not the most acceptable way to participate... No to mention that I try to avoid creating the clues as much as I can hold me back...

We used to have two TV's when I was growing up - a colour one where the sound didn't work, and a black and white one with working sound.
Of course, you had to make sure they were both tuned to the same channel. But since there were only three channels to choose from, and at least one of those didn't broadcast more than half the time, it wasn't too much of a problem.

And you try and tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you

2 Channels? You were lucky!
The best we could get was Mono ...

Two channels ... Mono .... Hmmm, I think we are getting into Monty Python's the 'Four Yorkshiremen Sketch Area' here.

I'm up there in years, myself. TV, however, had channel 2,4,5,7,9,11 and an iffy 13. Somewhere in my pre-teens, I think, "UHF" was made mandatory and the availble tuning range expanded from 2-13 to 2-13+uhf and 14-83 (on a separate dial) when the VHF was set to the UHF selection. It was years before anything actually appeared on UHF. Vertical Hold, Horizontal Hold and fine-tuning
Color TVs were a months pay, for what color there was (both in terms of very few broadcasts and quality). Unless one bought one of the plastic overlays that converted one's B&W into color.
Golden days - when people dressed as MD's were on TV Ads for cigarettes touting their favorite brand.
