Love this animation from @guidedogs following puppy Flash and her volunteer puppy raiser in their first year as part of their 90th Anniversary celebrations. Enjoy folks! https://t.co/0wFpd3Iz4S

Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and shared his experience of the shot and its side effects in an effort to encourage his followers to also get their vaccinations.
I had my Pfizer vaccine on Wednesday. The next day felt a bit sluggish and arm felt bruised. That’s basically it.
The whole process was cheerful, quick and easy. In and out in 25mins. Including having to sit nicely for 15mins after the jab to ensure no reaction. Easy 💪💉

Even Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) had something to say about it!
See? If even a drip like Percy can do it, you’ll be fine! https://t.co/3JxGCYo11d

And finally, is Matthew Lewis really a wizard? Some might say that it’s a coincidence, but the power of his DIY skills over the soccer scores speaks for itself.
I moved house last year and I finally got round to painting my front door from red to black before the Chelsea game. Unbeaten since…
