I bet you that somebody looked at your height and weight, did a standard BMI calculation, and decided that you are obese, not realising that you are in fact a lean wall of muscle...

Night night

There should be a reason - normally based on medication - especially repeat meds
but they do say
1) Shielding is a choice - you do not have to do it - so getting more info will help you make a choice
2) They are deliberately including more people than they need to so as to make sure they do NOT include people they might miss - which makes sense
3) if you have the letter you get priority for home deliveries and stuff - even if you do not decide to Shield - you can use the advantage
as my Dad said (he was injured during WW2) no point in having it if you don;t get some advantage from it
and if you are actually a bit more vulnerable than you think - it may just save your life
which is good

Lol....I am here as usual. Not sure why as we have a day of heavy rain to look forward to. I’ll maybe get the waterproofs on and have a walk before it gets too bad.

I was around but read the Guardian and a few bits on here while drinking coffee and contemplating my day.

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooeee. I am waiting for the man from the garage to collect my car. Transmission replacement day for it.

Stay safe folks

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.

Well, here we go again.
The highlight of today is putting up the guttering on the shed. Wahoo

I've been awake since 06.00, MrsP got up for a whizz and it was lights, camera, action from there on.

Mug of tea no.2 being drunk at the moment Whilst I formulate a plan for today's proceedings.

Stay safe everyone

So good morning. I hope you are all well. It's wet and blowing a gale.

I seem to have escaped any serious reactions to the vaccine. 🤞 I had the AZ. I felt a bit rough, sort of tired and achey, as I would after a 100 miler, for about 5 hours last night. Slight sensation, dullness in my arm. I did spend six hours building IKEA furniture so tiredness is just as likely to have been this.

Today's plan? Well lots of outdoor things I'd like to do but it's too wet. I'll be heading over to No.3 son around 10.00 to build more furniture. He is capable of doing it but I see this as a real contribution I can make to a family with a young baby. If it frees up an evening for son, partner and baby that's a big PLUS to me.

I'm also more organised - count all the screws etc first, line them up, identify the different panels and so on. Much better approach than No.3 son who rummages through a pile on the floor!! 😂😂😂

I will pop back later.
