Sounds positive re your good lady.
Mine made it up and down the stairs twice yesterday.....purely for exercise. I had to stay below her and it was a long, slow process but its all progress.

It certainly is Well done Mrs Dave😍😍😍

Questions are always easier if you know the answer though.

How to book booster jab for 2 people ??
Myself and MrsD have been invited to have them.
As she must be in a wheelchair we want them at the same time/same place.
We can phone 119 or go online.
Which is best ?
If I phone 119 do I get to speak to a real person ?

I had both text and email despite having mine which was at my local gp

The text and email you can book on line at www. nhs book Covid-booster or phone 1801119

Re- Pheasants....I'm not a Pheasant plucker
I'm a Pheasant plucker's son
I'm only plucking Pheasants
till the Pheasant plucker comes

I haven't heard that one for years, I'd almost forgotten it.

I like Bosch. Must get stuck back i to it. I think I was only at the start of series 6 and I think it might be on to 7 now?

Another walk done. Turned very muggy again.

I have just started on series 1. Looking good so far.

Something worrying me though... I noticed that Prime put me on episode 10 as if someone was already watching it... Will check to see if that is true for other shows.

Nobody else should have my login details so that should not be possible!

Just enjoyed watching the first episode of the new Shetland series, understated and atmospheric as ever.

Maybe prime has been reading your mind!
Just think no more remotes going missing, or not working due to dead batteries. The money, and the trouble, you'll save yourself.

Perfect blood test results today, so that was a good start. I also managed to pick up my latest prescription and a Metro.

After that, I rode over to Littleborough as planned and had a long chat with Littgull. I was pretty shocked to be reminded that it was NOT 21 months since we last met... I had forgotten that we got together in July for my Garforth forum ride! Ok, I had seen him once in 21 months rather than the usual 2 or 3 times a month.

We couldn't get into the cafe that we had planned to go to - it was crammed. Instead we found a small pub with a secluded rear garden area. There was nobody else out there and we found a table that was out of the wind and in the sunshine so it was quite pleasant to sit outdoors to chat. No sooner had we gone out there, than my pal Carrie rang from the south coast in Spain. She is 2 months into a 3 month tour of France and Spain. We were not jealous to hear that she was sitting in the sun with her dog on a beach and the temperature was 79 deg F/26 deg C. Oh no, of course we weren't...

Next thing, it will tell me whether or not I will like shows, to save me wasting my time on ones I won't like!

I watched the first 2 episodes of Bosch series 1 this evening with my pal. We have agreed to keep this as our joint TV night show and not binge watch it solo.

Good news on the blood tests.

When it starts doing that, you'll know "they" are watching you watching them.

Good morning all
Busy day today, most importantly hopefully a visit from British Gas. No time slot given, just a blanket anytime between 8 and 6.
Also expecting deliveries from the Wine Society, a local farm shop, and ready meals from Parsley Box. Never tried Parsley Box before, just trying them out with an introductory offer.

Morning. Another night of taking ages to get to sleep so lay on for a bit. Nothing exciting planned, as if there ever is! Lol. Usual walking and I’ll pop round and buy some flowers for mum’s grave tomorrow. 24 years now. I can hardly believe it. She was only a few months older than I am now.
