    Just returned from having flu vaccination at local pharmacy. Very efficient, in and out before my appointment time.

  • Good morning everyone,  a dry mild but breezy start here but just had a sprinkle of rain.  Only just enough to wet the paths, now the sun is peeking through again. 
    We slept late again,  don't know if it's anything to do with the double jabs on Sunday,  the tenderness in the R arm has gone but the left is still quite sore.

    Hugs to you @plant pauper.  Glad you have got some strong support in your corner.

    No covid/flu jabs for us until the middle of  next month - surgery fully booked up.

    Lovely sunny day again.  No gardening again though :(

    Afternoon all, 

    Hope the arrangements are all going smoothly @plant pauper, thinking of you.

    We slept late this morning then had a dash to get to our local council tip by our allotted time, we have to book in advance with our car number plate. Got rid of loads of odd stuff which has been hanging about for ages so it feels good to have a clear out. Determined to keep chucking things out.

    After lunch my gardener arrived for her last session as I now feel well enough to cope with the garden, all very amicable as I might very well need her again next year. Meanwhile I hope my finances will start recovering! What with the cleaners and the gardener every week, it's been quite an expensive few months.

    I meant to ask earlier @Dovefromabove when you mentioned your OH was suffering joint pains - have the medics ruled out what I had - Polymyalgia? It kind of crept up on me and I just didn't realize the joint pains were more serious. Started with stiff, painful shoulders, neck and then hips, particularly first thing in the morning, together with general fatigue.

    I hope it all goes well @plant pauper, your Mum's team sound as though they know what they are doing. Sending hugs.

    The weather has been lovely today. We had lunch with friends, sitting in their garden.

    Any tips on how you clean glass oven doors please? I've let mine get quite disgusting so I bought some soda crystals last week and thought to make some kind of paste - would this work? Their website isn't very clear.

    Needless to say, it's a job I hate doing!

    Ceramic hob cleaner works well on oven doors and even cleans wood burner glass doors too.

    I use the log burner glass cleaner on the oven door, it's nice and quick.

    Town day for us, so nothing new here, except we actually had heavy rain last night. Yippee!   😀. Must go out and check the rain gauge.

    Big deal!  There was 3 mm in the gauge.😱 If you could’ve heard that rain last night, you’d be as amazed as I am.  Don’t understand it.
