The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names.Mama Mia would have to be my pick for my fave song of their but omg do they have some hits so it's hard to choose just one.

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Fleetwood Mac were founded by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist Jeremy Spencer, before bassist John McVie joined the lineup for their self-titled debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist in 1968. Go Your Own Way is my pick for fave song of the Mac but again is it hard to pick just one song.

First Dose Covid 19 Vaccine Side Effects

So it's 6th March a day after my first dose and 4am I was awake I could not sleep my arm was aching. I woke up when I eventually fell asleep to severe body aches, head ache and I felt sick and I coughed up phlegm earlier in the day. Later on through the day I felt really cold despite being told the house is warm and despite me being wrapped up in bed. Honestly this feels like a hangover crossed with flu. Temp fluctuations are so annoying. I also feel like my body is slow like as if I'm moving in water?

7th March I woke up with a headache, I also had hot flush with dead arm still but by the night time most of these subsided and instead I only had a slight tender arm and cold flushes. Overall I feel more myself today. Sneezing a lot not sure if related to these side effects or not.

See how I feel tomorrow now really, I think I will be all better by the morn! 8th March and I feel a whole lot better but I do feel like I got a cold today just sneezing, coughing and sniffling a lot other than that still a dead arm. 

9th March no other symptoms all fine, feel great just bit tired and still got dead arm but its easing. I think I'm out of the woods and may do a video update on youtube to follow up this week. 

Thanks for following and reading my documentation of my side effects and getting the covid vaccine!

When I Go Do This For Me

 Must remember to ask someone to get the narrator from dbz to do me an outro to my funeral with this piece of music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgqFvGWlPF0&list=WL&index=136&ab_channel=RobbieWallace2007%7BFifiLaFume%27sHusband%7D

"And so we see the body of Scott laid to rest. He was a good man with the kindest heart, with the best-est of friends. His loves for dragonball, star wars and wrestling will live on forever in the hearts of those who cared for him best. Scott never rest until the day was done where he made someone laugh, smile or feel special about themselves. He even seen lights in the darkest of places in the darkest of people. He made friends from enemies and made enemies along the way but one thing never changed and that was his heart of gold. Friends and family we ask you to shed a tear, to crack a smile, to be good to each other and always remember the legend of this man today, we are gathered one last time to say goodbye to, Farewell Scott until the next episode of after life Z."

I've Had My First Covid Vaccine!

 Friday 5th March, 

I went to my local GP after being contacted on Tuesday 2nd March (click here for that post)

I met with a nurse named Naomi and she was tidy and helpful enough, giving me the details on what I can expect and answering my questions I had about it. I rolled up my sleeve once we was both ready and she inserted the needle into my arm injecting the first dose into my arm. Astra vaccine is what I was given.

What I felt was a sharp pinch followed by like cold liquid touching my skin well going into my arm so say for example a bit of water splashed you and it ran down your arm? It's basically what that felt like.

Side effects I was told about were headache, aches in joints and my arm feeling dead so pins and needles like and static basically. I felt really tired then after my jab.

Further or any more update on side effects and how I feel, I will post another update with and you can bet in 12 weeks time I will be doing another blog post and video on getting my second and final dose of the vaccine down the line.

I am making youtube videos documenting this and the first video will be uploaded soon on my youtube channel which is called: 1stmetalgod. CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO!

Any questions you have feel free to message me or leave a comment.

Thanks for reading!

THANK YOU NHS!

I'm Having My Covid Vaccine

So on March 2nd 2021 at 6pm, I was contacted via my GP in my local doctor's surgery to attend an appointment on the 5th March 2021 to get my fist dose of the covid 19 vaccine. 

I was gobsmacked I was like "what? how? Yes I'll be there for my first dose, see you soon have a nice day bye!" to the lady on the phone. 

So yeah I'm relieved and over the moon but also confused as to how and why I have been chosen since I should be relatively bottom of the list but hey I'm not gonna turn it down. 

I'll post update and give my details on the experience soon as it's happened. I am making a video documenting the events and effects and all sorts as I go into and come out of having my first dose of the vaccine.

Stay shiny and stay tuned!
