Still Very Wintery

    The snow has finally stopped falling and, with a temperature of 4C today, has mostly disappeared. However, we are due some more tomorrow which is disheartening.

   I happened to be in the drug store this morning and noticed there was space at the counter so asked if I could get my shots. I basically snuck in between people who had made an appointment. So I opted for both the 'flu shot and Covid so that's done and dusted. Seemingly, the flu shot isn't targeting the current strain of the virus but I'm sure it's better than nothing. No side effects so far, I don't usually have any.

   My Monday Bridge group met yesterday for the first time since last Spring, but just three of us. We managed to coerce someone to be our fourth player and had a nice afternoon so will try again next week.  Usually there are a few people whiling away the time there, let's hope we are lucky again. Huge turnout at the Tuesday Bridge group, we needed an extra table to accommodate everyone who showed up despite (or maybe because of) the lousy weather. We had 11 tables!

  1. I agree, better having the flu shot than not getting it at all. We can hope that even if it isn't for this current strain, it can still give us some protection.

    God bless.

  2. Better than nothing, as the saying goes. I really must get mine organised; thanks for the reminder. xx

  3. I have had both of my shots too, the Covid one made my arm very painful for several days, not had that happen before. We did not have much snow, today Wednesday it is melting so now can see green grass.

  4. This year's flu shot is always based on what went round last year. Science can't predict which strain will be going around this winter, so last winter's better than nothing.

  5. I always hope the snow over here will happen after Christmas so it doesn't complicate all our arrangements in the run up to Christmas.
    I would love to have a go at Bridge, but don't know any players.

  6. Sorry about the snow. We enjoyed such good weather travelling back to Yorkshire from Italy with very little snow on the Alps. Keep cosy.
