"Fight Club" rules on here, so I couldn't possibly comment.

More good news for us, David's sister just called to tell me that her daughter in law has had a baby boy and my nephew text me while I was taking to her to tell me that he has taken his wife to the hospital because she has gone into labour with their baby so it looks like we are getting 2 great nephews possibly on the same day or one day apart. 

How exciting!! Let’s hope you don’t have to wait too long to be able to see them and give them a cuddle

Josy - that is lovely news.  I am thankful for the internet at present, as I am sure you will be, in that we can see photos of how the little ones are progressing online - even short videos and facetime calls.  We have a great granddaughter, now 3 months old, who was,  like Springsteen, 'Born in the USA' , so there is no chance of any of us seeing her for quite some time.  

 

A marvellous change from the 'olden days', when you got photos in the snailmail.  And a huge boost to morale at present.  Some of my friends genuinely like having one sent to them occasionally, just to see the  innocent little face, with perfect skin - cheers you up no end.

-1°C cold and snowing here.

2 inches of snow on top of the car.

I cannot drive for another week so another day in the house.

Lovely news Josy

Like your sister, my sister has had two new grandsons in quick succession this year.  Let’s hope that everyone gets lots of cuddles soon

I have just done my happy dance, I just received message from the doctor.  I just have to get unblinded on the vaccine trial now so that I can book my vaccination if necessary.  I just wish that they had sent David's first.  I am 67 so they are obviously starting to vaccinate under 70 s in Stoke.

Such good news for you. It is just a pity that you will have to unblind yourself from the trials but I will do the same when I get the call. Shouldn’t be too long now because I will be 65 on Feb 26 so probably due to jump up a level on that day 😊.
To an untrained layman like me, I would have thought it would be useful research to keep you on the trial if you had the Novavax vaccine to monitor your immunity levels when  you have had one of the other vaccines as well, to compare levels with those who will have the Novavax vaccine when it is available to all. There is probably a good and obvious reason why they don’t do this. 🤔

That's more likely than eating a daffodil bulb.

It looks pretty though, no snow here, clear blue sky but cold.

Clear blue sky here, again very cold, its not forecast to get above 0o all day, great for walking as the ground is hard so no need to stick to footpaths.

Happy Birthday Phil! Did you get that ironing board you wanted??

[Harry Peterson]

Changing the subject slightly, has anyone noticed an unusual jump in car insurance premiums lately? 
 

Mine came through this morning and they’re up by just over 20% (LV) for no obvious reason. Obviously, I’ll check around and negotiate, but just wondered if this is a typical increase?

Thanks Ann, no ironing board yet but I haven't opened all my prezzies so can't be sure😉, no big boxes left but maybe its an inflatable ironing board.

Haven't had the car insurance yet, but I have noticed fuel is sneaking up, must be speculators pushing it up as it can't be people actually using more at the moment.

Did Mrs W's car last month. Premium up by 10% or so, so shopped around and got the same price as last year.

Hello everyone I am still here and somewhat embarrassed at all your kind replies. It is not much of a depression, honest, just initial signs that I recognized from the last time which thankfully was quite some time ago and even then never became really dangerous. The snow has stopped and the sun is shining and the kids are screaming and shouting as they sledge down the slope outside and I had a good long talk with my neighbour. I was thinking where would we be without the internet and forums like this. I will bounce back soon enough.

 

 

You did the right thing to express your feelings on here Dave and I for one was heartened reading all the lovely responses so in a roundabout way you've done me a good favour.

 

Thanks & all the best.

 

Damian

 

(Now waiting for a barrage of roundabout jokes from Kalos - no pressure!).

Paging kalos - message for Mr Kalos

 

I’ve had an idea for another photo-extravaganza, if you’d like to pick it up and run with it

”Around the World in 80 (or more) days”

 

Start at Southampton, inviting pics (especially) but also memories and anecdotes, and proceed, slowly, literally around the world - on cruise ships, obvs

So, I’m thinking, (though if you take it on just do it as suits you best) Southampton followed by round GB & Ireland (decide clockwise or anti-clockwise, decide whether to include Scandinavia, Iceland, Baltic - or whether to leave them till the end), then Iberia and Canaries, then Med.  Decide whether to do Med one & a half times & head off round the world through Suez or to go once round the Med & then go transatlantic - etc etc etc

I think it might need a bit of refereeing 

 

Just an idea.  Love it if you fancy organising.  If not - no matter.  Good luck

 

Love it and would have picked this up but now I'm back working...talking of which I must stop reading this thread and get on!
