Surprise peas - the surprise being no matter how much you boiled them they came out like cannonballs.

I bet you all remember the joke  'what do you get with Surprise Peas?   Wet legs.'  (I realise this may be removed).

My daughter is the same. She won't touch custard, mashed potatoes or milk puddings either.

[July morning]

We got emails from NHS today with appointments for winter vaccines in the middle of September!

Re the silly programmes on channel 5 about Princess - someone on the UK forum says that yes, they were all comped, and chosen for this series of duff programmes.  So definitely don't bother watching.  A waste of Princess's  money, IMO.

I've just been on the NHS site and find nothing on current booking arrangements for covid or flu. What's the secret password ?

Well after a miserable start the sun has put his hat on in North Wales. A beautiful evening at our happy place. This place is the best thing to come out of Covid for us ...

We use Well Pharmacy for our jabs and booked our flu jabs with them. Covid is not available to book yet with Well. 

[indiana123]

We have our flu jabs booked for in a couple of weeks.  No C boosters just yet though

Am I eligible for an autumn Covid booster?

The following people are eligible for an autumn Covid booster:

• Residents in care homes for older adults
• All adults aged 65 years and over
• People aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group, as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the Covid-19 chapter of the UKHSA Green Book on Immunisation
• frontline health and social care workers.
• People aged 12 to 64 years who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression, as defined in the UKHSA Green Book
• People aged 16 to 64 years who are carers, as defined in the UKHSA Green Book, and staff working in care homes for older adults

This is because the risk of severe Covid continues to be strongly associated with increasing age and underlying health conditions.

Feeling just a bit down today. I have lost my 3rd cousin in 3 months so another funeral to attend.

 

I am part of quite a large family but at the (relatively) younger end of the age scale so one by one I have seen the companions of my childhood, youth, adulthood and older age go. It brings one’s own mortality into very sharp focus.

 

Enjoy life folks, eat drink and be merry. Do what you love and tell those that you love that you do each and every day.
