I am back. Had my jab. I was in and out in 16 minutes and that Includes sitting in a chair for 15 mins after the jab. Very efficient they were and very pleasant.
Well if its good enough for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II its good enough for you :notworthy:

Been for a walk in the :sun: 17c, before that changed the bedding and put that in the machine, turned said mattress over, I think I need a new one as it was making a funny noise when I turn over and I do a lot of that during the night as I can't sleep.:sad:
I've got Haddock for lunch 🐟 yes I know it's a blue fish, but I couldn't find anything else*
*It's frozen, why did you think it were blue?

Nice run in sunshine but still a strong wind. Very little traffic at lunchtime but began to pick up later. Got overtaken by a low loader with escort carrying an enormous earth moving machine of some kind.On a single track road with lots of bends he was going like the clappers and would certainly not be called a slow loader. Must have been running late or something and certainly a local driver.
Due to the constant wind I tried lowering the trike seat back to give less wind resistance. Seems ok but will have to give it a longer trial before deciding whether to keep this angle or not.
There are more stranger cars and people appearing. This annoys me as we are level 3 so they must be coming from areas designated higher. I am stuck here not getting off to do the things I want but they have no qualms about breaking any rules and wandering around here.

I would be happy if it at least stopped growing so fast, I wouldn't mind loosing it completely, I'd be quite happy to be a slap head.
Well, it would only take a couple of minutes with electric clippers to get that lot off! Or for that matter, to trim it if you decided to keep it. The barber I went to in Hebden Bridge retired so I bought myself some clippers and have been cutting my own hair ever since. I know it doesn't look perfect but it is good enough for me. (This is where you tell me that my hair looked really strange every time you met me! :laugh:)

No, you wouldn't. Promise.
Indeed, and especially in winter... I have a nearly bald spot at the back and my hair is receding and thinning elsewhere It feels bloody chilly in a cold wind. In fact, I even wear a buff on my head indoors in the winter!

I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure I trust myself with a set of clippers. ^_^

As Mrs @BoldonLad says, when wielding the shears on my hair, "it will grow again". This utterance is usually heard shortly after a cry of "oh sh*t" (which usually means she has attached the wrong, or no guard on the shears).

Needless to say, Mrs @BoldonLad will not allow me near her hair with shears or scissors ;)
