Good morning/afternoon all.
What a night that was but thankfully everything's still standing.
The sooner my old conservatory's taken down the better!
I had my 1st covid jab today because of my asthma. I have to wait about 12 weeks for 2nd but some protection's better than none so I'm very grateful for it.
Hope everyone's having a good Thursday.

It’s been very windy here too and everything is still standing for us as well.

JoesDad and I just had our vaccinations this afternoon. Lyn’s on a different system in Wales to us in England. We qualified by age as England is now doing age 56+. My second vaccination is booked for May 27th.

And we got a sticker ?

Good morning too!!
I am happy your house is still standing..
And the wine with cheese???
Back in the oven???? ??
I am sooo glad you got your shot!

In America it’s all screwed up.?
One day they say -just the elderly.
Next day they say- ok now smokers
The following day - ok now front line workers
The next day -ok now 16yrs old and up..

I mean which is it!?!?!?!?
Take care of the elderly and the sick FIRST,
Then I’ll take MY shot...
There is NO WAY I am getting a shot BEFORE my mom!!! I could never live with myself....
Wish America would get their ? together.
Once again I am just so happy for you to have your shot.... ?

They are making good headway in Wales through the age groups, key workers and those with underlying problems too, but I didn't get a sticker, just card.

Sounds very confusing for everyone, I hope it's all sorted out for you soon.

I hear thunder off in the distance, and it's getting awfully dark for 3pm in the afternoon.

I took a nap and missed all the fun. When I went out last evening to close up all the tortoise sheds and make sure everyone was in for the night there were many HUGE puddles and lots of left over hail piled up against the walls everywhere. Must've been quite a storm while I was blissfully unaware and sending out lots of Z--Z--Z--s,

We're getting 1 to 3 feet of snow between Friday & Sunday night in Boulder this weekend. I hate friggin snow!!
Iʻll keep my comments about the weather to myself. But I did live in Reno for a year, and Dallas for 12 years, so yeah, I hate snow too.

You've got that right. Who knows what they "say" is in this shot. With year-round allergies, back surgery, asthma, & not going out much, I can wait to see vaccination results a while.

My husband is somewhere below convicts but above the homeless to get his COVID shot.

Hahaha, I think that’s about where we rank as well. I’m nit going to spend hours on end on a web site to TRY & get an appointment.....and, not going to idle in long lines. I’m waiting until SAM’s Club to put up a sign, plenty of free vaccines available.....just walk in.

Just a few weeks ago and we were way below freezing with forecasts for more additional light snow. Right now, in the shade 76 degrees. Whew. I’m roasting. We did finish up shredding all of the tree limbs cut from our Maple tree pruning. Usually we carry all the limbs back to our woodshed area and just let the mulch fly freely. This time we moved the shredder to the pile and let the chips collect into a large “potato sack”. So, we used all of our “home grown” mulch and spread it around six of our poplar trees. Later, once it cools, maybe some deck stain.

There are sceptics here too but I think any protection is better than none.
Covid is here to stay for the foreseeable future and maybe we'll have to have it every year as a booster to battle any new variants - like the flu jab, but who knows - in time they may find something to obliterate it completely. ?

That's so funny ? you are a lady after my own heart ? If you can't do anything about it the best thing to do is not watch it.
