A blog for heart matters and natters.
Plenty of daffodils coming up, some snowdrops too all making the garden a bit cheery.
I have some perennial plants that I have overwintered and will be ready to plant out now. I have also had some success with some cuttings that I did which are beginning to show leaves.
Hardly any success with green bean seeds though. Last year every seed that I planted grew very well, but this year, four out of twenty four in the tray have managed to grow and not very healthy either. Not sure why.
Amazingly today marks the day since we last physically met as a group.
It was a cold, overcast and rainy day and we were not in our usual room but instead met in the main hall huddled close to the heater.
To mark the day we had a Zoom meeting, I wonder when we will actually meet up again?
Well, I had the vaccination - in my case the AstraZeneca.
I had a slight ache at the top of my arm for a day and nothing else. I am not sure if that means that if I had got Covid then I wouldn't have had much reaction anyway.
Goodness there is a lot of noise about this virus and vaccinations. My take on it is the NHS have saved my life and continue to monitor and care for me so I think it is right to do as they ask. Not without question but where I consider it is best.
I hope that everyone is keeping well.
Another month and no sign of an end yet.
But I do have an appointment for a covid jab. I was sent a text from my GP practice with a reference number to apply online.
As there were no available slots it took quite a few attempts but I finally got a time on a Sunday.
The vaccinations are being done a little drive about 20-30 minutes drive away.
Shall I have the vaccination, have my DNA altered and be injected with a Bill Gates microchip? Or...
First the good news. I qualified then applied for a bus pass and it arrived in a few days. Very easy to apply and do online.
Bad news, where can I go and why?
Typical, I finally become a bona fide OAP and can legally be grumpy and politically incorrect. Does that mean that I can call Labour a bunch of dangerous liars and idiots? No I guess that is being polically correct.
Well, who would have thought that this year would have been the same as last year?
Oh everyone.
It's like a bad version of Groundhog Day. Let's hope for a happy ending very soon.
There would not have been a meeting today as everyone would have been busy preparing for Christmas, I guess.
So, I hope that everyone has fantastic Christmas and a Happy... er... Happier New Year!
It certainly has been a different year so far.
