Peanut006 Posted July 24, 2022 #36502 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Morning everyone, how you are all ok today. It’s a lovely day here today, a breeze and nice and warm at the moment although showers are forecast later. Well I have been doing my ancestry again with some help from a friend. My gran never talked about her mum, aunties etc. Just discovered my gran had nine aunties and one uncle she never spoke about or who she didn’t know about. It is just getting mor complicated. A DNA test revealed lots of distant relatives now I know why Michelle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 24, 2022 #36503 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It’s wet here, wet in biblical proportions and thunder & lightening on the cards for later this afternoon. Stuck indoors watching the rain rolling down the windows. Good for the grass but it my mood. I did a family history a few years back and it was interesting. My husbands was even more so as we discovered his lot were originally from the Lake District in England. We are all as we say here Jock Tamsons bairns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted July 24, 2022 #36508 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It's been lightly raining here for the last 6 hours, after 8mm of rain on Friday it has been most welcome for the gardens and farmers fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted July 24, 2022 #36509 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Still pretty hot in Kent. Much cooler first thing and a more comfortable night but it’s been very warm this afternoon. I’ve just been sitting in the shade in my garden. There’s quite a breeze but it’s a warm one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 24, 2022 #36510 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Pretty hot in Lincs too, but a breeze which makes it better. Just decided I can't face the curry I was going to have, and doing an egg sandwich instead. (Might accompany it with a glass of white wine though).

Josy1953 Posted July 24, 2022 #36511 Share Posted July 24, 2022 We have had quite a lot of rain here in Stoke today but OH is happy because he is obsessive about the lawns. I thought that he was going to cry when he saw how dry the grass was when we got home from our cruise.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted July 24, 2022 #36513 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Has been raining off and on here all day, my volunteering shift was cancelled due to weather as outside for the vast majority of the time. It’s now 8:15 in the evening and the sun decides to make an appearance, at least tonight no watering of baskets etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted July 25, 2022 #36523 Share Posted July 25, 2022 For those who are interested - I went in Boots, Hempstead Valley this morning, to enquire about flu jabs..... but the queue at the counter was too long, and we couldn't be bothered to wait. Therefore, my husband will have to book himself in at Chatham. I've noticed from the Boots website that 50 - 64 year olds will be eligible for their free jab from 15th October, and appointments are 'coming soon', so us young 'uns will need to be on the look out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly (or not) my local pharmacist is Rowlands and they are allowing 50-64 year olds to put their names on an online waiting list. As you say flu jabs for this cohort I appears to start from 15/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
