I heard from a friend in the North East that it was snowing last night. She may well wake up to a winter wonderland this morning!!
Tony & I are going for our flu jabs this morning. I’m really beginning to hate having needles stuck in me. You just don’t know what else these alien substances are going to set off in your body do you?
One good thing - I sprang out of bed quite lively. Dare I hope the trapped nerve has gone?
Carol, don’t have the Flu Jab, i’m not. I think both the COVID & Flu Jab have got foreign bodies that they are putting into your body, they say its protects you, for how long?
Morning folks and yes, a blowy old night but seems to have eased now, but raining and sleeting at the moment which is forecast to continue until this afternoon.
I have to go over to eldest daughter’s place this morning to fix a small plumbing job for her, but then it’s probably a feet up and film afternoon.
Good to hear that you’re feeling better today Carol, long may it continue.
Sorry Susie but I disagree about the flu jabs, both they and the Covid jab are our main protection and work fine for millions of us. Too many scare stories out there with absolutely no basis in fact…
So windy right now I’ve not been outside yet but I hope there is no damage…I feel so sorry for the sheep in the field behind me…hope they are ok
Pals coming round later thats if they don’t cancel due to the weather I wouldnt blame them if they did
I agree about vaccines Barry especially because of how poorly my daughter has been…she had both jabs but still ended up in ICU…the docs told her she was lucky and had she not had the jabs because of her extreme reaction to Covid she would certainly have died.
Gosh makes me cry typing that…have a good day everyone
Oh summer, so glad she wasn’t too bad. What a thought, eh? If these things give us the protection, then I will take them. Many members of my family have had the virus. Nephew, too busy to have his second jab, was ill for several weeks, but as he is s/e had to return to work.
I have had flu twice in my life, and wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Once was over the Christmas period back many years ago. Dad was working that day for BT, I got up for half an hour to open presents, was back in bed, leaving Mum alone till Dad finished his shift. Totally wipes you out.
The second occasion I was working for the Bank and began to feel quite ill in the morning, and was getting worse and worse, so went into my manager and told him I was going home. By that afternoon I was lying on a mattress on the floor, crying with the pain in my legs and the aches. And yes, was ill for several weeks.
Whenever work colleagues told me, at work, they had the flu, I always retorted ‘you wouldn’t be here telling me that, if you did!’
Please do not listen to conspiracy theories, but protect yourselves adequately.
It was very windy here last night. Lots of noise. It’s been raining as well but no snow. My son may visit me today on his way past after visiting his girlfriend’s step-brother.
I will be checking on my neighbour again since she came out of hospital as her daughter is away till Sunday.
Good morning all. I wish I could say there is no damage because I didn’t get to sleep till 2.30 owing to a huge sycamore branch being blown off the tree & landing on my overhead power line … which is now at the height of about five feet. It crosses the lane , so I hope no large vehicles drive past, as it is still live.
The electricity people promised to send tree surgeons in October, but nobody has been & I am still waiting for somebody to get back to me about possible dangers.
I also told the fire brigade, but nobody was available to help, so still waiting for them.
All I know is that nobody must go closer than 5 metres to this power cable, so I hope the postman knows that too, as I don’t know when he may arrive…
Morning all, well living in the south west with a generally mild climate, we got off pretty lightly I think. Lots of wind, and a hailstorm which temporarily covered all the cars outside, and it’s pretty windy this morning, but nothing like some other areas have had.
@carol , so pleased your trapped nerve seems to have freed itself at last. Be very careful if you go out in the snow today - you really don’t want a fall and be back where you started .
@Barry another one here in agreement about vaccines. It’s truly frightening how many people are refusing them, often people with no medical or scientific background who think they know better than the experts.
Have a good Saturday folks - but please take care all of you who have snow and ice
Good morning everyone a wild night here glad I tied things down .
My son who lives 5 miles away has lost 6 fence panels and has no electricity. He and my DIL were due to go away his weekend Christmas shopping leaving my DILs mother and sister in charge of the children.
It is snowing here but not settling.
Life is one big drama these days …
Good Morning from a snowy Birmingham. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hope all is good with you all, I have opticians this afternoon at 2pm so hoping for rain and a clear of snow, could be as its gone a fair bit of sleet now. However I am going been cancelled twice previously with lockdown and illness in the practice not covid related not been since Feb 2019.
Tis cold here and after overnight gales whipping long the channel coast, there is plenty of small type tree debris across roads, but nothing large to stop traffic.
We’ve already been out to visit our favourite pie-n-pastry baker, Turners, for our regular standing order and of course not forgetting the Saturday papers Turner’s Pies - Award Winning Pies from West Sussex (turnerspies.co.uk)
It crosses the lane , so I hope no large vehicles drive past, as it is still live.
