What are you all up to

Lovely sunny day here today. Got my 2nd vaccine this morning got the first one at the beginning of Feb so not quite 12 weeks but I’m not complaining. Hope I am not ill all day tomorrow as I was with the first one but apparently the side effects of the 2nd dose aren’t as bad 

I had my second vaccine on Friday, no side effects at all this time.  Our son also had the AZ vaccine last week with no ill effects.

We have had several days of sunny weather, but also a couple of snowfalls, though it melted pretty much immediately.

Still keeping busy at DD's house, OH doing washing, dishwashing and baby walking while I get on with working through "the list".

We are having Wednesday and Thursday off to do stuff at home instead

Glad to hear that it's looking good for the Family KjellNN as far as the vaccine goes  but please remember you are not Yet Immortal !!

Gloriously sunny here in Crewe, but some 'orrible great clouds out there and temperatures now slowly dropping.

Neighbour ( across the road ) has turned up at last -- he is normally absent for long stretches working in East Anglia but this time he was fighting for his life but successfully so !  Just serves as a reminder to us old fogies that the younger ones, often with no symptoms at all, can be taken so very poorly just like that !

Our local news is showing pictures of traffic queuing on the M5 into the South West today. We are already getting very busy here. Rates dropping here, just lets hope people still act responsibly.     I failed to get a hairdressing appointment this week or next, I'm first in the 'any cancellation queue',  but won't hold my breath.

Had an easy drive down to Welshpool to our next CL this morning and were met by 2 Pygmy Goats as we entered the premises. Friendly enough if a little wary of strangers but fine when the owner is present.

The CL is in a beautiful location but is 1 mile down single track farm road. However it's not used by anyone who doesn't want to be along it, like a cut through for example. We're billy no mates for a couple of days before others join in.

There were quite a few outfits on the roads this morning but I expected a few more,

Had a lovely 5 mile walk after lunch along the old Montgomery canal. It's nice being able to walk out from site.

Think we'll enjoy it here as there are Barn, Little and Tawny owls in the immediate area plus a few Swallows have just arrived.

Hope any one else on the road such as Moulesy arrived safe and sound.

Thanks, WN. Yes we had an easy journey down, seems it paid to leave early  (6am) and down here by 9:30 including a breakfast stop at Victoria Services, a first for us, not as good as the garden centre just round the corner, but they're still not open yet (the cafe). Friends on site who also came down today were not so lucky and got held up  your a jack knifed lorry on the A30.

Quick unpack and then up to Penhale Dunes where Ralph decided a spot of gymnastics was in order (fortunately avoiding all the fix poo!) and then on to the beach at low tide this afternoon. Think we've just about tired the two dogs out (and the two humans to be honest) but doubtless they'll be up bright and early in the morning. 

How long are you staying for M?

Here for almost a fortnight, then home for both of us to visit the hairdressers (barber in my case). A week at home then we've got our cottage up near Matlock which was intended for the cancelled Irish Setter Rescue walk last year. It's obviously been cancelled again this year as well, so we'll have to do our own sponsored walk and send a donation. 

Shame as we'll just miss you. We're taking MiL to a cottage near Bakewell for 4 nights at the end of this month as she has had both of her cottage visits from last year cancelled so we arranged a short break for her. We'll be home before you arrive. 

Enjoy it your fortnight away. Just the 4 nights again for us this week.

The way predictive text works on this Kindle it's a wonder I didn't.

Do you have a date for your next jabs, and where are you planning to visit?
