Must make sure dad gets his on time this year. He was late last year and had a flu type of thing which wasn't great.

Beautiful day today,so Mr and Mrs Postman have been to a Garden Centre.So together we are gardening,branch lopping removing old fruit bushes and laying down manure over the rhubarb crowns and dressing a part of the land with more manure to improve the soil.Mrs Postman has unveiled her plan for the land and garden for next year,and some of it will be done by proper gardeners,it's too heavy for me .2019 i look forward to a new look garden and land,which will have pear trees and apple trees,plus fruit bushes.

Oh yuck. My dad refused to have the flu jab. He said he always felt awful after having it.

Funny, dad always maintained he felt like he had a permanent cold ever since he first started getting it. I'm still a bit of a dinosaur with vaccinations and don't really like the idea of continually pumping our bodies full of chemicals, but I know certain people are at risk of complications if they get the flu so I suppose needs must.

My dad had a flu jab and died 4 weeks later from a heart attack brought on by a bad dose of flu.
Doctors said there was no correlation.......but they didn't convince me.

Bleach/washing up liquid round the piece the area they've been scratching against. Avoid any unwanted guests hitching a lift.

Woken up this morning by a sheep scratching it's arse against the tow hitch of the van at 5 am!
Went back to sleep and woke up again at 8 am.
Off out to Lostwithiel castle this morning - dropping in to a dealers to look at a new caravan on the way - then we'll find somewhere nice for lunch.
Weather's improved a lot since the weekend - back in shorts and T shirt again.

Why dont you get your own back.
Tomorrow morning at 4 AM find that sheep and scratch your arse on the nearest post. Ha.....he wont do that again in a hurry.

Here is a summary of my day.

A big thank you to the pub in Silverstone for not turning away the tired, hungry and muddy mountain bike instructors.

A third rider joined us, which I wasn't expecting. Twas a newly qualified MIAS L4 trainer, wanting to play with the big boys. By eck as like, he was Fast. Compared to the 2 elderly colleagues he was lighting quick. Good on the bike too. A nice lad.
