Just back from flu vaccine & very impressed by how fast, quick & efficient it was: everyone had a 5 minute slot, no queuing, in & out in 5 minutes with a spray on the hands on entering 1 way, injected & out another way; if they do that every year now I wouldn’t mind! 🙂 But, dead tired with my eyes a wee bit red from tiredness as I’m usually fast asleep by now but, it’s done & off to bed now! Stream of z’s emoji!

I also had my flu jab yesterday afternoon at the health centre. I was really impressed by their efficiency. Under 5 minutes from arrival to departure. It would have been even quicker, but the Doc said "You've never had the pneumococcal vaccine, so I'll do both today." She had to go off to get it, which took about a minute and a half. 🙂
Walking back home, I recalled how you used to get a lollipop when you had vaccinations as a child/at school, so I popped into Sainsbos and got myself a bar of Green & Blacks 85% and a wee bottle of The Macallan Gold as a reward for being a brave boy.
No ill effects this AM as my reading was 4.4. More choccy and Macallans i think. 😉
Morning all, 6.0 here. Trouble with a Moussaka yesterday evening, it’s too low carb for me. I was level all evening, then started to rise at bedtime. Did a conservative half unit correction, and just about got away with it.
Morning folks, 7.1 today. Very happy to say we are back on track, for the time being anyway, at work. However found one of my colleagues in tears in her office as she had requested a week off between Christmas and new year and was refused and wanted to carry a week over to next year to visit her son who lives in Tasmania and was told ‘I’ll think about it’. She was so upset as she only sees her son once a year, not at all this year and she confessed she was ‘worn out’, disgraceful behaviour yet again by our practice manager.
Visit to Sainsbury’s in order today and need to buy some paint ready to do our bedroom. Have a good day everyone x
Morning all. A very pleasant 5.9. Must have been 10.5 mile walk yesterday. What fabulous weather it was too, we had to take our jackets off! Off back up home today. It’ll be a least eight hours in the car I would say. Couple of stops for a comfort break and one for lunch. Then roots done tomorrow and Mr Eggy will get the car washed and valeted, it’s muddy inside and out! He’s driving daughter to Wedding Chapel, although thinking about it that’s probably against the law as Blackpool is in tier 2 and households aren’t allowed to mix! What a complicated mess it is. Also our 13 and 7 year old granddaughters are sharing a family room with us, because the family rooms only sleep four and one’s from a family of five and the other is the bride and groom’s daughter ( and they are in the honeymoon suite) and under 18s can’t be in a room without an adult! Oh dear we may all be arrested before the vows are taken! So shhh....don’t let on!😉

Had a busy few days with my brother and his wife staying, having not seen them since January. Wonderful to spend time with them out and about with lovely walks in the glorious Autumn sunshine. I love this season.
Safe travels @eggyg and Enjoy the unusual wedding.

Oh, thank you so much for letting us know, I had noticed his absence for a few days, and wondered if everything was OK with him. Please tell him we are all thinking of him.
