Hope it's as nice for you, Ian.

Von had her second jab yesterday....Huzzah !! (I went over with her as 'reserve driver', just in case she had a bad reaction).....The chap that parked next to us was there for HIS second jab...He was really bothered about it, as he had such a bad, and almost instantaneous reaction to his first.

Cheers - Phil. :)

Lovely morning here, with a nice late Spring mist, now burning off. Fingers crossed this will mean two nice days in a row, with plenty of sunshine, which we haven't had for quite some time.

Barely seen a butterfly this year, so hope the warmer weather allows them out, which would be nice.

Still in pesky Level 3 here in Glasgow.
I hope this is relaxed so I can start gaming again.

Hmmm, not sure about resuming FtF gaming chez moi until our daughter has had at least her first jab, as she is in the group that seems to being hit hardest by the Indian variant :(. Still, better safe than sorry.

2nd Covid jab done.  :) N'cle-U-T, Back in March, NO queue. Today 15-20m! Commented to a marshall, and he joked that Now, "It's like Dipping Sheep!" I had  a good chuckle !  ;D Maybe he saw my Flat Cap and current 'facial hedge' so knew I would appreciate!  ;) Lol!
Great 'service' from all staff. Many Thanks to All, wherever, for aiding in a crisis.  :)

I did not see any chaos or mess.  I did see some 'greens' of some very nice figures, there were hundreds of them.   Unfortunately I am sure that they will cause some lightness in my wallet when they are released.

I picked out daughter up from Edinburgh at the weekend, and it was really weird seeing the city pretty much back to normal in terms of its social life. She said it felt strange but nice being able to see her friends again and have a chat in a cafe etc. We toyed with the idea of eating out but decided against it as she still hasn't had any jabs yet.

Driving back in high 70's Fahrenheit heat, we saw a very long traffic jam on the M6 from the Blackpool turn off to past Manchester, we must have been hell for all stuck there, as the traffic was barely moving.

Today I'm going to enjoy unwinding outside with my nearest and dearest after two days of long journeys :).
