I got myself all dolled up to get my jab , thinking we may be going out to the pub when I got back home. Suggested it....hubby says no and has gone to bed tired. :roll: I know damned well that if I take my makeup off and change into my scruffs he will suddenly decide we are going after all.

So....sitting here listening to the snoring coming from upstairs, still dolled up and living in hope that he will decide my idea is a good one afterall when he wakes up ..... ;)

Well, I think your idea is a brilliant idea! Don't you have hoovering to do, right outside the bedroom door???

Apart from having a terrible day today, one of the Funniest things that happened was that I saw @Glam in my place of work.... I was trying to explain my back exercises to her (a bridge, and a weighted bridge with a weight on your pelvis) .... Now, I usually do them lying down, and they take a whole different stance if you try it standing up (go on, try it)!!! ..... To anyone that witnessed us gyrating and laughing hysterically today then I'm truly sorry, no one should have been subjected that...

It's in the dedicated jabbing centre , in the Northend Community Centre ( nextdoor to the chemist/medical centre) . Have to make an appointment . I rang on 01785 290151 . I was told about it by someone who went to the footie match this week , and then saw the number advertised on STIG (Or was it the Nextdoor site ?) saying they had some spare appointments going begging.

When I joked that I would have to have my covid booster by that excellent jabber , they said they are starting doing the covid boosters there from next week and when I'm able to have mine the end of October (6 months after 2nd jab) I could go along there to have it done.
Excellent work - I am jabbed.

I rang at half-past five, expecting a machine reply, but, after the transfer, found myself talking to someone who asked me how soon I could get there. I suggested twenty minutes was doable and there was a little hesitancy in her agreement to that, so I amended it to fifteen minutes.

I set off and actually did it in twelve minutes - i was concerned that the temperature measurement might be a touch high as a result, but I was described as 'perfect'.

A few questions, a jab and a nice chat with a volunteer whilst doing the flake-out check, then we were flung out by the bouncers.

One thing ticked off the list.


On the way back, i realised that I might pass the house of someone who would have some contact details that I had lost. I saw a house that had something in the front garden that was the sort of thing that I associated with them and decided to try it. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the name of the woman I was looking for and her husband answered the door - I was about to try "I might be looking for your wife, but I can't remember her name" when he, very luckily, recognised me - phew!

Enjoying a drop of red.
As it's was a nice day, jr and I decided to go to the match on a motorbike. I get a bit nervous when there's crowds of distracted people about and I have a pillion but it all went swimmingly.

Beat our return normal journey time down to 18 minutes on the way home as well...

Just got back from a lovely weekend at Bishop's Castle. We stayed at a great campsite called Foxholes and will definitely be back.
Did you get in the three Tuns and/or Castle ?
( I also know the Six Bells and the bookshop )

Just remembered I was going to ask yesterday...... Is The Wagon & Horses open nowadays? Thought it had closed but saw a light on in there yesterday. (But no other sign of life..)

Standard expressions when doing DIY:

"Who the f*** designed this ?"
"How come the last f****** screw is the hardest ?"
"I put that screwdriver down 30 seconds ago, and now it's gone ...WHERE THE F*** IS IT ?"
"Either this thing goes in where it belongs, or DEATH WILL STALK THE LAND !!!"

There are many more ...... :P:heyhey::roll:
