Hey everyone

So this is now officially flu season and flu injections have been distributed as far as they could go. Why? Everyone is running out of the vaccine and the heavy months of flu have not yet arrived. Granted there have been a lot of cases but the season has only just started.

I really hope that they can get some more in before the worst comes. Apparently this year is supposed to be a bad year for it. Well let’s just keep our fingers crossed.

Have a great day and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Today we were lucky enough to travel in and around the City free of charge.

Thanks to the council for making free travel on trains, buses and most ferries. With that said, hubby and I spent the day travelling around on the trains. Had an amazing day and have to say the trains we used and saw were full of people. Good to see public transport used today.

Met some lovely people on the trains and respect to the lady who brought a bean bag and then used it to sit on, on the train, as it was nearly standing room only. Great initiative taken, if not appreciated by some passengers.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Our health service is great, we can get to see a doctor when we need one. Okay we pay to see the doctor but at least we don’t have a week or more on the waiting list.

When you need to see a specialist for something and you have private health insurance, then why not use it, after all you are paying for it, right?

As and when you do use it, it only gets you to progress things faster, Sadly it does not mean that you receive happier service when you do. Sometimes it can be a little on the surly side, I have heard from a couple of people, which is a shame. For me I have only had this happen once.

We can all have bad days but in a customer service role it can be rather unfortunate.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So today was my yearly breast mammogram and check up. I decided I would go by train rather than drive for a change. So here’s the thing, there was a signal fault on the line and some trains were cancelled.

I drove to the station a little earlier to check on the train I was due to catch and if it was not running I had time to drive my car. After waiting about 10 minutes a train came, not sure which one it was but I hopped on board just in case the next one didn’t run.

Arrived at destination a little earlier than had planned so had a great mocha and a freshly made cheese scone in the café,

So mammogram done and ultrasound with a physician done and now to just wait for the radiologist to double check it and hopefully all good until next year. The lady who did my mammogram was just the best, she was gentle and great at her job. I have seen her for a couple of years or so now and always great to see her.

Well that’s my day.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Yesterday we went out to an Agricultural and Pastoral Day and it was a fantastic day. It rained driving down but was a sunny and windy day down there. We had a full day out and it rained on our way back home.

We didn’t have much in the way of traffic heading down but certainly had a large amount on the way home. Some of that was due to roadworks where 2 lanes merged into 1. The expression merge like a zip would work really well if everybody did just that.

So many cars driving past and leaving it right to the last minute to pull over. At one point a car even drove down the hard shoulder to join the queue further down. They obviously didn’t like sitting in the traffic jam like the rest of us.

It was a great day out and even with the amount of time we sat in the traffic watching all around us, it was still fantastic.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So we heard that they may be putting up more speed cameras up to cut down the accident rate we have.

Love them or loathe them, in some places they are a good idea. I guess that if you are a fast driver then chances are you will probably be pinged at some point. I think to help cut down the accident rates would be to make sure that the speed limit signs are big enough and visible for drivers to see.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

What is it about an airport?

The hustle and bustle or people running around everywhere and cars trying to stop and let people out or pick up?

For me it is the smell of aviation fuel when you park up and open the car door and step outside. That instant whiff as it blows under your nostrils. For some it can make them queasy but for me I love it.

There is also the smell of tar which I adore, especially if I have a stuffy nose or a chesty cough. It clears both naturally and it is FREE. No sprays or antibiotics or whatever the pharmacist may give you.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Had my check up at the chiropractor this morning for my neck. I don’t think it is everyone’s cup of tea but I actually enjoy going to see them. I have a very old whiplash injury from many years ago and keeping up with the regular check-ups keeps my neck from periodically freezing up.

So this morning a pull and twist on my neck with that great cracking sound was just what the doctor, or should I say chiropractor ordered. That cracking sound is a great relief for me and when I hear that I know my neck is all good until the next check-up.

So have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Thought I would put into a poem what I was going to blog about.

Today was a day like any day

Was doing my thing, outside it was grey

The rain came down in a light shower

Hoping it wouldn’t be like that in an hour

I wanted to pop out down to the mall

But decided to make a better call

The skies opened up and the rains descended

But this is what the weatherman had intended

The skies turned a real dark black

Then the thunder roared and I heard a crack

The lightening was here and the sound was intense

The amount of water was now immense

Sitting inside and working away

Tomorrow will be a better day

The winds they did blow a gale

And this was my day’s sorry tale

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Shopping at the local malls and even walking along the pavements, some people walk without any direction. Following people on their phones, meandering in the malls and on the pavements. No-one knows which way they are going, sometimes a few will even stop right in front of you. We all try to avoid the e-scooters, skateboards, whilst dodging around everyone. I am not really in a hurry to get anywhere but know where I need to get to. The people I feel sorry for are the ones who walk with a purpose and don’t stop until they get there.

That aside, whilst walking around the malls I actually brought a couple of Christmas presents, just because I saw them and I knew who they would be for. I generally don’t start this early, but I saw and thought I would buy.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂
