Welcome to Winter - Flu Time
Fortunately I don't have the flu but I did pop over to Rylstone Hospital to get my annual flu jab. Despite it being a grey day my eye was taken by the light and the mountains - such a lovely part of the world.
I've only had a flu injection twice (since I reached the magic age of 65 when they say we should do it). I am glad to say I did not get an adverse reaction on either occasion.
I can see why you were distracted by the view Joan Elizabeth, it's pretty fab! I had a flu jab for the first time this year.. hope it works 😉 P.s. That was the last time having my lawn cut for the next two months thank goodness :)
I never used to get the flu jab but after having the flu two years ago I decided that it was orobably a good idea now that I have turned old and grey. LOL!
Beautiful light! I worked at two different high schools in my 50s and seemed to pick up every illness that circulated in the building. I started getting flu shots then. They're no guarantee but I assume they keep it from being too onerous.
As I understand it will help us develop antibodies for the expected flu strains but can't protect us from any that emerge later in the season. Here's hoping nothing new emerges. I can generally shake of illness quite quickly but it takes my husband months to recover.
It is lovely indeed.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I didn´t need a flu jab. Last time I was knocked out a bit for over a week from it!

No lawn mowing is one of the greatest joys of winter! I hope the jab works for both of us.
DeleteThat is a good view!
ReplyDeleteThat ring of individual mountain peaks around us makes for interesting views.

ReplyDeleteGetting the flu is soooo bad I will do anything to avoid it these days.

DeleteWe get the 'flu vaccine every year, but last year both my husband and I got the 'flu. Hope the vaccine this year is better!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping.
