What are you all up to

Flu jabs up here are for the over 65's Kj, this is the first year I've not had to pay for it  appointment first week of Dec for the pneumococcal jab made again, I had to cancel the first one as I had a bad cold.

Our surgery was busy the day we went down for our jabs but it was well organised.They had 3 nurses on each doing a different age group. They wouldn't give me my pneumococcal along with the flu jab as they had done in previous years, this year it was just flu jab and nothing else. All other jabs like pneumococcal and shingles to be done at a later date.

Very wet again today  we went out this morning to get some wood for the upstairs room, also looked at carpets for up there. Didn't get one yet though as we still have a fair bit of work to do before that stage. Nice to get the mucky stuff out of the way 

Been working on an outline plan for next years trip to Europe. We've got a fancy for the Italian lakes so have been gathering info, its been about 30 years since we were last in Italy with a caravan and we've never been to the lakes.

Time to move into the kitchen and make dinner  

A dreary overcast day but well spent walking alongside the River Dee. About 7 miles in total with a "Spit and Sawdust" pub halfway around. Nice pint as it was Timothy Taylor👍.

We needed to call in at M&S in Cheshire Oaks Outlet village before going home. We'd completely forgotten it was Black Friday. The crowds reminded us. 

Cold day here today. We have finally settled on what to do for next years "main holiday" we are going to head to the clubs New Forest Centenery site for a couple of weeks booked it tonight. Its an area we have never been to so it will be nice exploring a new area.

Best of luck with planning your tour next year Tammygirl. I remember the days when we used start planning our European tour about this time of year. Happy days. It will probably be Norfolk for us this year, possibly for three weeks and then various other trips as well - hopefully.

I have deliberately avoided Black Friday today.  Didn't go into town and no internet shopping either. We are off to Anglesey Abbey tomorrow evening with the family for their Winter Lights.  It is always a lovely evening out and a great start to Christmas for us.

Not been out the house today as we went shopping twice yesterday!

On Flu injections I have had them for years and well under the suggested age. The reason being is Margaret as she has diabetes so they don't want me putting her at risk!!! I think when we tried to book our surgery had run out but they quickly got new supplies.

Having worked for the NHS for many years I am a great believer in the flu jab. I had it all the time I worked there and now I have it because OH has chest problems and it could be very  dangerous if he got flu. I do wish everyone who is eligible would have it as you could pass on flu to someone who is vulnerable before you realise that you have it. 

Are you doing an over night on the way down

I am glad you got your jabs OK Nellie. We got ours done at the first flu clinic held at our GP surgery a couple of months ago. We had to queue for 40 minutes to get in though surprised

We phone up and booked our date while we were away and were given a time for the appointment. Arrived early,,,straight in to see the nurse and both out again within 3 mins...simples.

As it happens we've been lucky with all our appointments since we got home on Monday. As well as the Flu Jab, OH was early for her hair appointment and her hairdresser was waiting, and then at the Vets Flyte was straight in for his Parvo booster. Hope that the trend continues when we go to the Dentist on Tuesday.

Thanks Millie, its been interesting looking at places, getting other folks views and comments. We've been 'doing' France now twice a year for 7 years with a bit of Spain thrown in so going to Italy/Austria for the first time in 30 years will be a new adventure (I hope a nice one)

I'm sure you will make it to Norfolk and all the other things you still want to do, your just having a re-boot at the moment   Anglesey Abbey sound lovely, I remember you mentioning it  last year. Have a lovely time.

Yes we will probably stop off at Chapel Lane C&MC site. We usually stop there on the way south in the summer it takes us about 5 and a half hours to Chapel Lane towing so it means we do most of the journey on the first day and then a shorter journey the next day.
