Good morning folks,
Lovely post jab lunch on Poole Quay yesterday. We had to cross the old lifting bridge to get to the Ferry Terminal, the bridge started a lift as we approached so we got to watch the full raise/lower procedure. We went to the Oriol Café which is in the premises that used to be the Seaman's Mission, we each had a bottle of “ Golden Years “ from the local Sandbanks Brewery to wash down our baguette, salad and chips.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

It is a hard life, but, you are doing an excellent job ;)

Barnet,
I've been invited to book my Covid booster, and if I want to, have the flu jab at the same time. I will probably go for both. I have to let them know about the flu jab when i get to the Docs. I know some people think it's an overload of vaccine, but I'll risk it for a biscuit.

Booked for Saturday the 8th of October. :okay:

Agree with you.


However, did you notice there was another UK winner of the eurolottery announced at the end of last week?

It wisnae me! :laugh:

Sorry folks. I just couldn’t be bothered with CC for a few days. Nothing exciting to report anyway. It all gets a bit mundane repeating what I’m normally up to every day as I live such a quiet life.

I haven't heard from her today. She may well be off on one of her epic walks. I shall investigate. I was right. She was walking 🚶‍♂️

Pleased to hear @Mo1959 is well.

Bit disappointing result however, I was thinking, perhaps something exciting and scandal worthy had happened, eg she had run off, with @numbnuts. I suppose we will just have to stick with boring stuff. ;)

You would say that though, not wanting everyone knowing.

IF, if it wasn't you it might be getting a bit more exciting soon.

Yer okay, that's the main thing.
Wealth isn't much without yer health.

From my Facebook page this morning.

One day, the maid asked Portia for a raise.

Upset at the suggestion, her employer asked, “Now, Darcy, why do you think you deserve a pay increase?”

“There are three reasons,” announced Darcy confidently. “The first is that I iron better than you.”

“Says who?” asked Portia.

“Your husband.”

“Oh.”

“The second reason is that I am a better cook than you,” continued Darcy.

“Who said that?”

“Your husband.”

“OK.”

“The third reason,” concluded Darcy, driving her point home, “is that I am better at sex than you.”

Sensing a pattern, a concerned Portia asked, “Did my husband say that as well?”

Darcy replied, “No, the gardener did.”

The yoga class I attend gave us a good workout this morning, it was a big class as well, eighteen of us, the largest class I've seen since I've been doing that class. Home, got changed then helped my Good Lady into her wheelchair and we went down Jubilee Junction in Jubilee Crescent for lunch, I like their egg on toast, they give you three eggs, most cafes only give two and some only one, called into Asda on the way back then spent most of the afternoon pottering round the garden, now cooking us roast chicken legs for dinner.
