I think I have proper 'flu for only the second time in my life. I felt rubbish all Friday night and yesterday and today and am dosed up on all the local chemist could offer me and have hardly looked out of bed. I've done two Covid tests, yesterday and today and both negative so it must be the 'flu.

This is the first year that I ever had a 'flu vaccine so good to see that works well.

I'd agree. When I had Covid in April I could at least function like a human being and felt frustrated at not being able to be out and about. With this flu I wouldn't have the energy to go for a walk.

Yesterday was dryish, cold and slippy underfoot.
Today is cold, wet and windy and bits are still slippy.
Never satisfied with the weather.
One winter we had practically continuous gales and rain yet another was mild and pretty good on the whole.
In our second early winter here we had an almost unbelievable 14 weeks with no rain. It did cause problems for the distillery as we were heavily dependent on the private reservoir we had but this was fed from a large boggy area and we were able to keep going mostly until Forest Enterprise who owned that area decided to drain it for tree planting.:ohmy:

I wonder how many of the recent settlers will last until another winter as that often thins them out a bit.

Never had a 'flu jab. I have spoken to far too many who have had the jab with not very encouraging results.
