Apparently there us a Michael Korrs shop and a Radley outlet. Probably have lunch in Carluccios, so I have been told. I'm not a keen shopper but Gunwharf is my favourite Outlet Mall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can, pathetic batting. 77 for 4☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Damian, a much needed win. And congratulations to the 2500 or so Leeds fans who made the journey to a cold but not wet and windy Wednesday night in Stoke. I am not sure what they made of the new and quite impressive music and flashing light display before the kick off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Nomads Posted October 26, 2023 #51506 Share Posted October 26, 2023 If you don't like driving in unknown towns the Park and Ride in Portsmouth is very good. It drops you off at the Gunwharfe. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, my son (no hypochondriac) phoned a short time ago, and said his jab, done a week ago, is still painful. We wonder if it might be the constituent parts, which will differ with this new strain. Mine actually feels worse! Shoulder very painful. I am not worried, just surprised. Yesterday was mainly sunny and dry; good news for the flooding in this area, but today grey and a bit of drizzle. We really don't need any more rain, just time to let the water already there soak in a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a very nice place to visit. Whenever we have visitors staying with us, they always request a trip to Gunwharf Quays! Here are all your fabulous possibilities! https://gunwharf-quays.com/shops 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted October 26, 2023 #51510 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Happy Birthday/Anniversary to those lots and lots of posters who have celebrations in the next few days. There are a lot! There’s some odd truism, isn’t there, about if you have a certain (fairly low) number of people in a room there is a good chance there will be at least one pair sharing a birthdate? Also, congratulations to those with new dogs/pups. Lovely! There seems to be a rash of new pups around town, and my sister has a new pup hoping to fill the gap left when lovely Todd went. Exciting. I haven’t got a new dog, but I do have a reconditioned one today, after she had a grooming session this morning 🙂 It won’t last - she’s a bit of a mudlark, which isn’t great when you’re low to the ground and have soft white fur 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboys Posted October 26, 2023 #51516 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Started very dull here but then turned to sunshine and showers and now beautifully sunny. Quite mild. Had a few garden bits and pieces that I needed to get to the tip (broken pots, old trellis etc) and thought it sensible to do it whilst I still had the old car, so got that done. Then had a light lunch in the Old Town. After getting back I emptied the car of my belongings and gave it a quick hoovering inside so it looks nice and tidy ready for part-exchanging tomorrow. Out tonight for dinner with some friends. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, though I am sure she was a Nurse from the local hospital, she did look way beyond retiring age, seriously. It certainly didn't hurt, but maybe just hit a bit of muscle that didn't like it. It felt a bit better after paracetamol, but has come back on again. Possibly just my very aged muscles not up to it. I only brought it up in case anyone else had noticed the same thing, after an unusually long time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter still has problems with her shoulder after last year’s flu jab, she thinks that a nerve has been damaged. Apparently this can take a few months to recover from but it has been over 12 months now, she has an appointment with the GP but is not very hopeful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobstheboy Posted October 26, 2023 #51520 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Misty, rainy, miserable day 8c, oh well it's almost November. Planted spring bulbs in pots yesterday. This afternoon our squirrel neighbours decided to investigate. 30 minutes later pots protected with fine plastic netting secured over the pots. I know they are clever but they better not !!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted October 26, 2023 #51521 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Sorry to hear that - and I must admit hoping that is not what has happened to me. If that is what can happen, I would be completely put off having any more jabs. They don't tell you about this sort of thing, do they? Or no one would have any jabs.

If it’s of any interest, I had much the same thing after one of last year’s jabs. Couldn’t determine whether it was flu or Covid though because no record of which went into which arm. It made sleeping on that side almost impossible and I pretty much gave up on it. However, a year or so on it’s almost fully recovered on its own. There could still be grounds for hope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
