Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 25 September 2022

I had my booster Covid jab on Wednesday, and haven't felt a thing. Was hoping to get flu in the other arm today, but the weather put me off! Fortunately our local pharmacy is doing walk-ins so I will pop down there when I can.

Plenty more Covid cases around here over the last few days. I'm staying away from people as much as possible ...

Put a "like" on your post as well done on getting your jabs, Heather! Hope the arms aren't too sore tomorrow .....

Clare, yes, they're green tiles. I wanted a fresh look in more ways than one. Our cupboards are oak fronted so we could have had anything, really, without clashing. I wear quite a bit of green - the latest fashion for sage green is easy on the eye.

See some of you have had your jabs.  Not got mine till 15th Oct but having flue for first time as DinL said the strain coming over from Australia

is a bad one.

Just pared down pics of the two birds | can't identify.  Taken on the road down to Morro Bay.

Annette may be able to identify.  Will post some more pics when uploaded  - one of part of Santa Barbara which is where Annette is.

Our Youngest rang tonight, about our visit tomorrow -- which is now off, as they all have bad head colds. I tried to sound reasonably cheerful about it. I've not seen any of our grandchildren for weeks, and we were both looking forward to it. I spent half of this morning making a big "marbled" cake, so we both had a big slice tonight! May have to freeze some of it

Good Morning. The sun is out, here, so maybe I can get yesterday's soggy laundry dry at last.

My OH is pressing on with what he's begun on the section of tiling he started.

Sorry about your cancelled trip, LINDY. What a pity - but it is for the best.
My arms are a bit less painful, I'll survive !
Now must get organised for the usual Saturday shopping trip with eldest and middle daughters. My son is coming here next week, for a few days break before things start to get busy in his shop - the pre Christmas stuff.
My garden is needing the Autumn tidy up. Family will help. Sometimes I think about moving to a bungalow with a small garden....

Heather - I can thoroughly recommend a bungalow with a small garden ... I've lived in mine for twelve years now, and have no intention of moving. Mind you, the wider grounds here are wonderful so I don't feel at all claustrophobic.

I hope you managed the shopping without your arms being too troublesome, Heather.

We did the usual Saturday things, shopping etc. for me, & my OH has pressed on. Had some sudden showers.

Slept for an hour in the afternoon, in spite of having a good night last night. I feel as if old age has crept in prematurely. Not as lively as I was two years ago. Ho hum.
