Rain, rain, go away! And flu/covid pls!

Brief respites allow some small excursions. I visit one of the very local tier 10 football teams. I joined a crowd of 89. I also visit a charity art exhibition. It's always difficult to judge how quickly to get back to normal levels of activity.

And the seniors start some Tai Chi - nice.

In the final week we manage a trip to an excellent local pub for friday lunch, lovely; finally feeling just about fixed.

And end the month of rain cutting myself on my new cheese knife. Also cleaned out the bird feeder and little more tree pruning. One of the renters down the road moves out and next door trampolining is heard in the morning.

Elizabeth makes great progress updating the scrapbooks she's been collating over the years.

Oh, snow, maybe, rain probably! The weather is so random with a wet bias.

We get rain, wind, frost and slight snow. None of it consistent and some threatening to cause official warning levels being triggered.

Not encouraging to you to go far but I manage the daily walks okay. We seem to have lost one of the three swans from our local park pond. We did get a dusting of snow and some cold; nothing exciting so far.

The month ends with a nasty cold/flu/covid thing impacting the seniors. I'm second so play some nursemaid briefly but I'm down.
