Morning all :hello:

Sunday........ or Monday? I dunno, it all seems the same to me. :dry:
Couldn't be arsed to cut my hair last month and now I've realised it's the longest it's been for 40 years! Going to feel odd when I finally do go for a shearing.
Still windy out there, so will avoid the beach this morning and walk on the Burrows instead.
Biggest excitement in the lockdown days seems to be ordering stuff online and waiting for it to be delivered. Bought some extra caravan security items yesterday. ^_^

So sorry to hear that Mrs D is no better Dave. I do hope they find out what's wrong. :hugs:
Thanks Welshie.
They think they know what's wrong (long covid) but can't do anything about it.
Maybe 10 weeks ago I was worse than her (apart from the nerve pain) but am hopefully turning a corner......I just hope MrsD follows my pattern.

Could I ask you all to read this please.
Virtually everything mentioned is what MrsD is going through.......terrible nerve pain in her feet makes it so difficult to walk.
Sometimes I have to drag her up just one step.
Wakes up at 08.30 but back in bed by 10.30.
NOT after sympathy.......just want people to know how bad this sh*t thing can be.

I don't really know what to say Dave. This must be very hard for you both but I feel sure you will get through it. 🤗

If anyone doubts why we all have to get vaccinated these reports should be shown to them.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
My twin grandsons had their Covid19 jab on Friday like Mr WD. Saturday morning they both had a headache, had been sick 4 or 5 times during the night, hurt all over and had trouble breathing. They felt like they were having hearts attacks. One was advised to go straight to A&E after phoning 111. All is well. Not having heart problems or heart attack. The symptoms are probably an allergic reaction. Take a couple of Ibuprofen for the headache and take things easy. His twin did the same and started to feel better. Phew.

Willoughby, a small village just the other side of Dunchurch has a large duck pond and the villagers always put signs out when the ducklings are about.

I have risen!

Happy valentines day to all the chicks out there.
I am so envious of Drago’s style and charisma , if only I was half as suave and smooth. :notworthy:

I've heard unofficial advice from a nurse is on return home take two paracetamol, drink plenty of water through the day, two paracetamol at bedtime and two more the next morning.

It's in my plan.

A cycling friend (I do have others!) aged 71 felt poorly for two days, back on his turbo day three and was shattered in the evening. Day four all good.

The majority I know had a reaction of some sort. WD's grandsons is the worst I've heard of. 🤗

The message seems to be expect some reaction and rest.

I had hardly any reaction to the jab, heavy arm and stiff wrist immediately after I had it and a little tired for a few days, and that was it.

Bonjour. It is definitively warming up as it is raining ( slight drizzle ) this morning. I have just taken Molly for a walk and forgot to put her coat on so she is a bit wet now and smells like a wet dog.
Nothing planned for today apart from putting the exercise bike back in the shed as, to be honest, it looks a bit daft in the lounge. I will also take the back wheel off and cassette, ready to take to my LBS to true it up as it wobbles a bit and grease the bearings. I know it is only a cheap bike but I might use it for local errands instead of walking, when the mood takes me.
Rugby is on this afternoon. Ireland-France. Allez les bleus!
I will phone my wife in a minute and must admit I do miss her. Isn't it nice to still be in love after 35 years. :smooch:
Ok, enough of that before I get tears in my eyes. Have a good day every one.
