@Cleoriff

Thank you for your good wishes. I`m sure my hospital appointment will go OK.

As to this quiz, I tried to give a mix, with a couple of questions which are not rated "difficult" but might need thinking about.

Good luck with the hospital appointment.
Had a text telling me I could book my 2nd Covid jab this morning. They are now down to 8 weeks between 1st and 2nd (at least in my area/with my GPs).
