Crisp and cool this morning at 4°C, no wind and a bright sunrise.
Good you had that vaccination for shingles @Pat E Best of luck with the visa @Busy-Lizzie It would make things so much easier or you both. I hope your neck has eased up by now @Dovefromabove
As the wind has dropped, I am going to prepare part of the veggie bed for some onion plugs to be planted at the end of the month. It's very very dry and there are nettles to be pulled, but little by little. I will TRY and stop after half an hour, but .......
An enjoyable day for everyone. It is still winter but spring isn't that far off - the days are getting up earlier !!! and later...
I have been wondering about the shingles jab, does anyone know the recommended age you should have it? I'm due another COVID jab so thought I'd ask then. Hope you don't suffer any side effects @Pat E.
Charlie recovered well, thankfully extremely embarrassed/mortified about it all, and well aware that the first day of school was going to be an ordeal. Really hope there won't be a reoccurrence. Well not to that extent anyway.
I went out last night again with my new beau. We had a lovely time, it's astonishing how much we have in common. He really does seem very nice, a very gentle soul. His wife left him for another man, he was totally taken by surprise by it and obviously heartbroken. He had vowed never to get involved with another woman again, and it's been 5 years since then, so thankfully, he's as cautious about the whole thing as I am. We've both agreed to take things very slowly. My biggest concern is the language barrier, he doesn't speak any English. I can converse about many things, but I'm a little worried that I lack the subtleness of language that a close relationship might need. And I'd be absolutely lost in an argument, so maybe that's not a bad thing. 😅
Good luck with the trip to London @Busy-Lizzie, I absolutely understand the differences in driving, it's so easy here, I'd be lost in the UK now with the volume of traffic.
I've got my eye on the garden, but that's all for now, still too cold and damp to get stuck in.
Good day to all.

It’s definitely improving thanks @tui34 … I did wake for paracetamol and a warm drink but got back to sleep pretty quickly … definitely on the way now 👍
I had a little reminisce with the nurse who gave me the injection. Funny how your mind goes back some times. When I started nursing, in 1957, I was 5 months short of the age for formal nursing training, so I was put into the TB ward as a nursing aide until my birthday. She was shocked that there was such a thing as a TB ward. (Obviously before Streptomycin was widely used. ) I can remember quite clearly my time there. Always gowned and masked, and in particular, one room had a man and his twin teenage sons in there. I can’t remember if Mum was also there. Very sad when you think back about that time. They were there for months. 😒
Antway, vaccine has been administered, so that’s done.
