Josy1953 Posted June 13, 2021 #22403 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sitting in the garden enjoying the sun now after another session checking people in at the vaccination hub. I don't usually do 2 days together but yesterday they asked me to go in again today because so many people are back at work that they are now struggling to get enough volunteers. I will go in tomorrow for 4 hours but have said that will be the last until next weekend. If anyone has some time to spare would you please consider volunteering in your area because apparently most areas are struggling to get volunteers. It is in the interest of all of us that as many people are vaccinated as soon as possible so that we can start getting back to as near normal as we can. Sorry for getting on my soap box. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby has been volunteering as a steward for a few weeks at our local vaccination hub and said they are struggling to get enough volunteers as well.He is happier when he is busy, whereas I like to pace myself so has signed up for a few extra shifts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted June 13, 2021 #22405 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It actually got up to 30°C in the car this afternoon. We went to church this morning then we went to Wynyard gardens for lunch. Afterwards we went to the garden centre and got some more summer bedding plants. We went home and Pauline put the plant's in the garden and then we watered the gardens. We went in the house later for dinner and when I looked out of the porch window this baby rabbit popped out of the conifers. Graham. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted June 14, 2021 #22406 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Good morning. I love this weather, but it's not exactly conducive to a good nights rest. Tossing and turning because of the heat, eyes and nose streaming because of hayfever. Up at 4.30am and in the garden with a coffee by 5.15am. We're still in the throes of the bathroom renewal. There have been a few issues sourcing the fitments we wanted, but hopefully everything will/should be completed this week.🤞 We have been able to use the shower though thank goodness, but the mess and dust is never-ending and spreads everywhere no matter how hard I try to contain it. Repeat after me. It will be worth it when it's done. It will be worth it when it's done.😁 It looks to be another beautiful day, so enjoy it whatever you're up to. Stay safe and take care.

Avril It was a very warm one wasn’t it Avril. Some idiot nearby had a bonfire (or possibly an over enthusiastic BBQ) around 11pm. The smoke was billowing and flooding thru everyone’s open windows. They’ll not be popular this morning! I remember when we had our bathroom done - we went on a cruise for the duration as we were warned the dust was horrendous. I’m sure it’ll all be worth it when it is finished. Gill x 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted June 14, 2021 #22408 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) You’ll be fine Avril Dust will be a distant memory in a little while and you’ll have years of enjoying your lovely new bathroom We bit the bullet & bought a Dyson fan last summer. They really are good. No hum, which would drive me crazy. A timer, so I just put it on for 2 hours when we go to bed and 💤. Got 7 hours sleep last night, so that’ll do Sorry about the hay fever. Do the simple antihistamines not help (and help you sleep?). I’m fortunate in never having suffered. A former work colleague was a sufferer. She swore by a clean pillowcase every night- taken from the cupboard/drawer immediately before retiring, and a smear of Vaseline round the nostrils. Graham - nearly forgot to ask if the baby bunny was coming out to see if Pauline’s new bedding plants would be a tasty supper? So. Not Freedom Day (🙄) today. What a bloody shambles, leaving us vulnerable to the Delta/Indian strain whilst all the time watching the horrors in India 🤬 Ho hum. Enjoy what you can everyone. There’s plenty to 🙂 about - even football apparently! The cricket was a pile of poo though Edited June 14, 2021 by Eddie99 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted June 14, 2021 #22411 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good morning I hope everyone had a nice weekend .Lots seemed to be enjoying themselves after the football as they sang their inaudible words of their football songs, Singing and loads of beer don't work for some reason . Next door's was in full swing until their ten year old who was playing football with his Granddad fell to the floor ,he was crying, thrashing about in pain .His Gran ,his mother , no one could console him or had a clue what was up with him ? Order was soon restored though when I said "Free Kick " That lad one day will be a professional player, such a talent To be honest they could have done with my Granddad as he was a great football player in his day but had to give up the game due to going blind but went on to be a football referee instead Funny old game football ,I once saw two footballers in our local pub stood at the bar one asked the other "want a shot " to which he replied " I'll pass" Have a good day and stay safe everyone 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril No sleep for me either Avril - well very little anyway. 30 degrees here yesterday too and I'm going to be very controversial here and say I hate it, and I hate Summer. Love the other 3 seasons but north of 22 degrees and I'm grizzly. Have a good day, keep cool, and it'll be worth it when it's done. Best wishes.

I do take a prescribed antihistamine each morning, and also a nasal spray twice a day, which under normal conditions, work well. However when the pollen count is very high, which it has been for the last few days, they don't work for the full 24hrs as they should. I don't think all the plaster dust is helping either.

Avril I take a daily anti histamine and have been taking them in the evening (drowsy version) as it helps me sleep. Now I am taking them in the morning I seem to be snoozing a lot of the day. Must change to the non drowsy version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very, very reluctant to add to Dyson’s millions but it seems he’s got a unique design here. I would hate a normal fan, and, to a certain extent, high force “blowiness”, but Sir James has it sorted One model has Hepa (?) filters, I think, so might also help wrt dust & pollen particles It is a crazy price.

bobstheboy Posted June 14, 2021 #22425 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good morning. So some on here hate the summer, wow, I always hated winter, which is why I joined the RN aged 16. Still do, all those dark winter days, seem to go on forever. Good job we are all different ! A genuine question, do those not liking warm weather cruise north or only visit southern areas in the winter ? Cooler day today, with changeable weather later in the week. Seems certain a four week delay in full restrictions being lifted. Stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
