Almost spring like this afternoon, so much milder than of late 
Just been to the local library for the first time since before the pandemic, picked up a Val McDermaid and a couple of boxes of LFT’s. I’d noticed on the council website that they were giving them out at libraries, very handy 👍

They were handing them out in libraries down here, until last September. Now there's non to be had.Almost spring like this afternoon, so much milder than of late

No milder here yet. Not sure I want to go back out. It’s still cold and drizzly.Almost spring like this afternoon, so much milder than of late

Apparently when you reach 70 it's an option, as in you don't have to have it.
As a friend of mine had shingles and was in a lot of pain with it, I thought it was a good idea.
It's funny when ever someone mention shingles I always think of Hurst Castle , it's a shingle beach and to get to the end it's ¾ miles crossing soft shingle and bloody hard work.
A long time ago I carried a 30lb conger and my fishing gear all the way back

I went for a walk, 10k in all but found the hills a bit heavy going. Popped into a CO-OP and they had our favourite ground coffee on offer so I picked up four packs ( we use about two 227g packs each week ) Porridge when I got home, then cleaned the bathroom before putting my feet up on the sofa. It was quite mild out, 11 degrees, almost springlike.
I caught a 20 Lb conger once and that was heavy enough.......it took some killing as well.Apparently when you reach 70 it's an option, as in you don't have to have it.

We were on holiday so there was nowhere to store it.
We ate what we could and gave much of it away.

My ex's mum had shingles as an old woman and it was nasty!
When I had my Covid booster jab they specifically asked if I'd had a shingles jab very recently. Apparently, unlike the flu jab, the shingles and Covid jabs may not interact well in the body.

My shingles vaccine required 2 doses, several months apart. The second one made me feel ill for a couple of days, unlike my flu and Covid shots which did nothing. This particular shot is called Shingrex.
Another clear day with wind and temps around 0C. Pretty nice for January. Although I am not doing much different, my speed walking has gone from 23 minutes per mile to less than 20. I have another week to go of exercise restriction and I am chafing at the bit.
Tonight we will have the quiche made the other day with a nice salad. Yesterday was my BIL's 79th birthday which required an hour call, had another long chat with a friend from college days I haven't seen for 7 years, and a long talk with my youngest son. Too much talking for one day...it is exhausting. The old friend chat was sad as few of our old pards are still around. This group are only in their 70s.
Be safe and well.
