We have just been to the surgery to get our flu jabs.  It was much easier than in previous years, everyone has to make an appointment so no long queue out onto the car park. We were only out of the house for one and half hours even though it is 2 miles walk each way.

We have an appointment for ours next Saturday. We were told to make sure we were there on time as they were sticking strictly to the times.

We only just got back so no reaction yet.  Every other year I have woken up the next day with a raging cold so I will let you know tomorrow.

If I have sore throat, temperature, coughing and sneezing I will be trying to work out whether I have Covid symptoms and need to self isolate or whether it is the reaction 😂😂

That's how it is now. I've had hay fever for many years, take  my meds  every year without giving it a thought. This year I keep thinking 'is it or isn't it'?😁

Well another holiday hits the dust, Jet2holidays just cancelled a break we had booked for October. Oh well, just have to look back at the superb sights of Northumberland from the other week and perhaps we will end up stalking celebs in Abergele 😀

What a beautiful area. That should make up for your cancelled break.

Actually never seen any Magpies for a few days.

I think the Black Cats chased them away.😇

Got an interesting morning planned today. I'm going to pressure wash one of our wheelie bins with my new pressure washer. I may well post photos later for those of you that enjoy pictures of that sort of thing. I call it "wheelie porn"

Feel free to post your "where you wheelie bin" jokes.

Sometimes life is just too exciting! Lady W is off to Poundland to get away from the excitement.

Is it sore this year? Last year was fine, the year before my arm was red raw and painful for days.

I had the worst night's sleep ever because my arm has swollen and every time I moved during the night and touched the sheets with my arm it woke me.  I have the usual cold this morning.  David has had no problems at all, again normal for him, so I suppose it is all down to individual reactions.  At the end of the day a couple of days discomfort is better than getting flu.  I had flu once and I never want it again.

For some reason we never see sparrows here any more - lots of dunnocks, instead - and no starlings or pied wagtails either. We do, however, occasionally see a greater spotted woodpecker plus once in a blue moon a green woodpecker. Then there's the owl that I've never seen, but which hoots continuously overnight in the oak tree near the guest bedroom.🤣

I’ve  had a friend and my Dad in my garden who’ve both commented on how many sparrows we have! So many this year (We have a hedge they seem to like) Both of them said they haven’t seen many this year. 
We have a pair of magpies too who make a lot of noise!

Thanks for the advance warning, I may keep the next day or two after it free just in case, not that we are doing anything exciting at the moment anyway.

 

I hope it calms down soon for you.

Morning everyone 

Just when we thought life could throw no more surprises at us at us ,today we find Wowzz

is let loose with his new Jet washer.

What could go wrong I'm not entirely sure but it does not bode well when Mrs W cannot get away fast 

enough down to Poundland who could be having a sale on .

I'm sure you will be ok with it Wowzz ,have fun with your new machine.

About the wheelie bin joke ,I was going to tell you one but then thought no, as it was Rubbish 

 

[wowzz]

The moment you have all bin waiting for.

Can't wait for Lady W to see it. Just like an early Christmas present for her.

Is it too early for a pint - I think I deserve one.

Wonderful ! .... No other word to describe it Wowzz .

You go get that pint providing your'e Ok and not feeling "Washed Out ! "   

[wowzz]

Anyone else see the resemblance to the monolith in "2001 A Space Oddessy", apart from the grass, and the fact that it's a bin, and made out of plastic ?

Just uncanny really.

If I see any monkeys banging away with a stick I'll let you know.

I bet it seemed like a wheely good idea at the time. Perhaps Lady W can get a towel and dry the inside for you.

From a photography point of view it would have better from the other side, rather than into the sun. Unless of course it was still so dirty you didn't want us to see it properly.

Poor you. Do you normally get a reaction like that? Neither Frank or I have had a problem with them, just a slight sniffle sometimes.

I was aiming for a moody, atmospheric look, designed to show off the brooding symbolic nature of the bin, relecting, as it does, the ethereal nature of rubbish in the cosmos.

Your juxtaposition of the bin with a peaceful, bucolic background epitomizes the struggle of the products of industrialization and the natural habitat.

I agree should look very pulchritudinous when the new purple bin arrives to join it.
