Thanks for passing that info to us Punkdoc. On yesterday’s ABC program they said that seven types of the virus have been identified somewhere. Can’t remember where it was. That could explain your news.?? That,be fun getting immunisation, I don’t think
We’ve a lot to learn about this disease ... all we can do for now is to try to keep ourselves and our loved ones as safe as we can while doing what we can to keep body and soul together.
For the past 100 years or so we in the ‘West’ have felt safe as we’ve had vaccinations and antibiotics which have protected us from almost everything that could harm us. Now we’re experiencing the fear of illness that the poor in the ‘third world’ have always lived with, and which was commonplace here in earlier times. We’ll have to embrace the stoicism of our forbears ... I think this is going to be a rocky ride for the next few years.
Thank heavens for the NHS and our gardens 🌈 💙 🌱
We’ve had rain overnight ... it was heavy enough for me to be aware of it at one stage during the night, and it’s drizzling now ... think it’s set in for the morning.
Yesterday, when I knew we had rain coming overnight I quickly threw a few handfuls of fertiliser around the roses, clematis and other flowering shrubs so the rain could water it in for me 🌧

good morning Dove and Hosta. I’ve been out doing more cutting back of my roses. Lots of dead wood discovered. 🤭 Also, the gladioli bulbs are lifting themselves out instead of waiting for me. It just shows what can happen when you neglect your plants for a couple of years. Never mind, they’ll be glad when I’ve finished sorting everything out.
Oh and I agree with @punkdoc about the efficacy of gin ... Sauv blanc is helpful too, as is a smokey single malt and a smooth brandy.
I also have it on good authority that there are lobbyists actively persuading Matt Hancock that prescribing two pints of Adnams bitter per 27 year old per week could save the NHS a fortune 🍻 😉
@Hostafan1 can I volunteer to pickup your prescription for you? 🍻

Sunshine here again and going to be hotter than yesterday. I need to weed the rose beds before it gets too hot and then hide for the day in shady bits pottering with this and that. Maybe plant some more shrubs in that new bed as it's in shade till about 2pm.
@punkdoc - not surprising. It seems it's yet another virus that can have a lasting effect on a body, including weakening them enough to be susceptible to re-infection.
Beer would not go down well with me @Dovefromabove. I've never liked the smell of the taste. Guinness is OK for a chocolate cake but not my first choice.
Good that you're enjoying some gardening again @Pat E. @Lizzie27 I'd have thought Bath was heaving with all sorts of activities and events. @chicky I hope chicklet enjoys living near the sea and that you enjoy lots of visits.
@Obelixx it’s ok ... my OH is willing to have your share rather than let it go to waste 😉
There was an older lady in my old village who refused to sell Maltesers in her shop as she couldn’t stand the smell of malt ... when she was a child her father had drowned in a vat of malt at a maltings in Halesworth. She said she married a Strict Baptist so she could be sure there would never be any beer in the house.

Can understand her aversion 😢. Although have never noticed that Maltesers smell of anything. Maybe because I pop them in my mouth so quickly 😉😋
Chicklets new flat is 5 minutes walk from one of the quieter parts of Bournemouth beach - Alum Chine for those who know the area. Very beautiful- especially out of season. She’s started to get excited about her new adventure 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Promised rain has arrived here this morning 🌧. Saves the hosepipe. Will have an indoorsy sort of day - magazines to read 📚 and stitches to make🧵

Rain overnight, but today looks promising

I've just seen this in the press - my usual supermarket.
