Flu jab update

 After various visits to pharmacies and being told that everywhere is out of stock of the vaccine, we finally had a flu jab today. It was a regular appointment at the doctors' surgery and we were in and out again within five minutes of arriving there. It did take forty minutes on the phone waiting  in the queue to make the appointment, though. But we are done and dusted now and just need to wait to be contacted about the Covid booster.

We are lighting the woodburner each evening now and it is so fabulously warm. The cats are rediscovering the joys of sprawling at full length in front of the stove : ) And the laundry is drying nicely in front of the fire as I type. It is always difficult to get the washing dry at the beginning of autumn and the end of spring when it doesn't dry well outside and there is no heat inside. I do have a tumbledryer but I have only dried two loads in it this year. It eats so much electricity that it is now only used in emergencies or if I am ill. When it eventually gives up, I am not convinced that I will bother replacing it.
