In bed now and the rain is pouring outside. Apparently it will carry on all day tomorrow too and we are going to Blackpool in the afternoon till Sunday. Not a lot to look forward to then. 😠
Goodnight all. :hello:
Just over 36 years since I was last there, let me know if anything has changed in that time.

Morning all.
Please......this is purely out of interest.....not a plea for sympathy.
Dreadful nights sleep. Since getting L Covid some of the symptoms keep returning. One, for me, is night sweats**. 6 months ago it was really bad as we sometimes changed the bedding twice during the night.
Last night I had to change my PJs 4 times as they were wet through.
**that is always accompanied by very weak legs and body shakes.
I have posted a link and it shows night sweats as one of the main symptoms. I hope the link works.

Good morning all.
It sounds like @Drago is outside, very windy.
I have the pleasure of a Sainsburys delivery between 7 and 8, and a Royal mail delivery between 09.34 and 14.34 today.
The one thing I particularly wanted from sainsbugs was lasagne sheets for tonight's tea. They have substituted them with canneloni , so I will have to nip out at some point to the local grocer to get some.:angry:
Living the dream eh?

I have no side effects from yesterday's 2nd jab so all ok there.

Stay safe everyone :cuppa:

Today was my first professional haircut since February 2020 , as I sat down the barber said “ the usual . I have been going there for about 12 years . The shop was locaTed at the end of my mum’s road ,so was conveniently placed to fit in a haircut during my frequent visits. My mum died in 2013 , but I can’t face training another barber . So I have a 15 mile round trip for a haircut.
Tomorrow Mrs JK and I are heading for West Dorset for a week’s holiday, we won’t leave till lunchtime , as we cannot get into the holiday apartment till 5 pm . No our house will not be empty, my MiL will be there , 2 of Mrs JK’s sisters are moving in to look after Mum .
It’s a tad blowy at the moment with gusts up to 60+ mph! Have a safe journey 👍

Morning all :hello:

Bit of a wild and woolly night here on the foothills of Dunkery Beacon.
Was blowing up to 60 mph overnight and lashing with rain. It's still raining and the wind is still high but expected to lessen off by tomorrow.
One of our neighbours packed up and left the site at 7am. I wouldn't particularly fancy towing in this weather. :eek:

A serious question. Do have to tie your 'van down in very high winds to prevent it blowing over?
