Jab done, now waiting in the marquee for 15 minutes before I can go.

Another walk done. Still cold but bright. Lovely colours now and the crunch of leaves underfoot.

Stopped to chat to a nice girl who was taking photos. Massive 500mm lens on her camera. She is from New Zealand but has been living here for a few years and enjoying it, but going back to NZ once things calm down a bit.

I've been for a walk too

It's that time of year again. The local estates have released hundreds of thousands of pheasants once again. They are a hazard on the roads. I hit one once.i ended up with a hole in my bumper. They are heavy old lumps and do a lot of damage to a car.

I now have 10 or 12 running around in the field.

If its your field can you legally shoot them?

Mr WD is booked in to have his next Friday afternoon

A mate of mine had his booster last week. His testicles swelled up to 3 times normal size and he was in agony.
I thought "thats it then, I'm having mine in the arm like most people"

If ever the apocalypse comes, we can see shoot them.

Just got a 1 1/2 mile walk in......not much but its 1 1/2 miles more than I could do yesterday. It was beautiful in the sunshine but cold in the shade.

Post Covid booster jab rehydration. First two jabs were Astra Zeneca, booster was Pfizer. Arms feeling a little stiff, as it’s Pfizer, I’m hoping it migrates southwards by this evening.

Your land, your dinner.

Christmas Dinner, unless you have turkeys flying in to your field.

Don't want to worry you but latest news says drinking alcohol within 3 hours of the jab negates any benefits.
But you enjoy it

View from our van front window - Dunkery Beacon in the distance.

Just had a very nice light lunch at the Bottom Ship, Porlock Weir.

@welsh dragon I got interested in the pheasant shooting thing. Mr Google says if its on your land you can shoot it. One website says you can shoot them in or out of season. You could make yourself a few bob there

Legal
DAVID FROST says: Pheasants, even reared ones, are counted as wild birds and they belong to the person on or over whose land they happen to be.

I am back. It is still sunny and windy. I managed to do 25 miles but it was hard going. North Wales is full of hills and some are pretty steep, 11.8 % where I went today. Good thing I had my Jelly Babies with me to keep my legs moving.
Now for a shower and wait for Mrs G to get back from wherever she went so I can reverse the car on the drive as she refuses to do it.
