    For what it is worth, i would always have a flu jab. now I have chronic health problems, I get it for free, in the past I paid for it.

    It seems the preparatory paracetamol has worked.  No more "noise" in the jab arm now and none of the usual swelling either.    

    Gorgeous looking acers @steveTu.   

    Sally Zafira is being mysterious.  OH took her for an inspection of the exhaust system which has been noisy for a week or so and no noise nor any leaks of exhaust to be found.  Typical.

    Better start thinking about moving our canna indoors.

    I'm leaving mine in the ground this year. I'd think you'd be ok over there  with your low rainfall.

    What low rainfall?!?!?! It’s a quagmire out there. And as it’s in a plastic pot I worry about the roots freezing 🥶 We usually pop it in the garage for the winter  and it dies down, then bring it into the warmer studio where it’s nice and light around March ... repot it with fresh compost and soon it’s awake and growing away again. Think it going to need a bigger pot next spring 😂 
    Must get around to getting a banana for OH ... you’ll remember we decided to get one earlier this year, but didn’t.  Yours is very impressive 😶

    I like the foliage form and colour but not the shredded leaves and it seems to have two lovely new shoots that, presumably, will have to be hacked off for winter storage.

    Been faffing with an online document for claiming a subsisdy for the patchwork club form the lcal council.  15 pages.  Received OK on my dosgy snail mail line but seems to be too big to send back even with their fancy optical fibre links at their end.  Oh well.  I can deliver it in person on Thursday if we do our weekly shop at the Olonne market and SM.  means lunch out.  Hard life this retirement lark.

    Have sown 42 broad beans.  Kept some in reserve for spring, just in case.  Now to find a spot for the garlic which I shall plant on Friday.  Expecting a wet and soggy day tomorrow.
