What are you all up to

Medical matters for us now - this afternoon I have to take Mrs M to have a couple of teeth removed. Next week it's flu jabs for us both and my annual eye test and the week after we're both booked in for Covid jabs. Good to get everything out of the way quickly!

Just been for our flu jabs this morning.  They couldn't give us the Covid.  Apparently they had an electric cut and all the Covid vaccines were spoilt...  they have to wait for the 'replacements'!

It does look lovely and an island where I have always wanted to go. Perhaps next year!

It’s been a really cracking day walking about 10K and ending up at our local craft brewery for a swift pint. Now sitting at home looking out at a beautiful sunset with bats flitting about in the half light. Let’s hope for Māori of the same this weekend.

Loved the photo of the Churchill statue, M, as well as the rest too. Hope Mrs M didn't suffer too much at the dentist.

We woke to quite thick mist, as forecast, but it eventually burnt off and the rest of the day has been fine with short periods of sunshine. We had a morning walk from the Avon Aquaduct (the second longest in the British Isles at 250m length) around Muiravonside Country Park and then, after lunch, another along part of the Union Canal. This our last night here before we start on the slow meander homeward.

Kj - We are now installed, in splendid isolation, on our usual CL in North Wales

Haven't been on since Monday so only just catching up with news. How long are you here for Kj? At least the weather has been better since Tuesday.

We've been rather busy. After the  deluge at the weekend I found my favourite "every" day shoes had sprung a leak so a hasty trip to Go Outdoors for a replacement pair, not being one with a shoe fetish I tend to only have 2 pairs of every day shoes!

Flu jabs, blood tests, gardening, wasp infestation, Campervan cleaning, a meeting with some friends, acting as taxi for MiL who also decided she wanted new shoes, but only after we'd been and got mine! Taxi tomorrow as she has a covid jab.

Need to move some investments that are due and move our energy supplier as well.

Condolences on the death of your Aunt B2.

Apologies if I've missed anything else of importance but I'm trying to finish this and keep an eye on a Coq-au-Vin that's in the oven slowly cooking away.

After a dry start it began to rain just as we were in the process of leaving the Beecraigs site. It continued to rain as we circuited Edinburgh but thankfully stopped before we got to our present site, so we set up in the dry. Have had the odd very short shower this afternoon but have been able to fit in 3 dry walks so far. The photos, below, are of a couple of trees exhibiting fine autumn colours, that we saw on our walk yesterday, one with the view from our caravan and the other from my afternoon  walk. Where are we?

We leave here on  Monday WN, and head north to CCC Kendal.   The weather has indeed been not bad since Tuesday, thankfully,  it next week it looks to be rather mixed.

My friend is booked in for his heart op in Liverpool on Tuesday, but has to go in on Sunday as they want to do some additional pre op tests, so we are spending most days with him.  

His daughter arrived from Cardiff yesterday as it was her younger daughter’s 1st birthday today , so today we went to the birthday party.  With a 1 year old and a nearly 4 year old, it was quite lively!

Tomorrow, as he now has “supervision”, we plan a trip to see the Anderton boat lift, then we will see him again before he goes off to Liverpool on Sunday.

We left OH’s car with DD in case she needed it, just as well as her old car has had another flat tyre, and today the battery has failed.  Good thing she has a new car on order, though it seems it will not arrive until late December now.

Is that CCC Dunbar Nellie?

Both had our jabs - yesterday afternoon at the pharmacy for Covid and first thing this morning at the surgery for the 'flu one - so that's us sorted for another year
