The gale has gone through - at least I hope it has and this isn't the
eye of the storm! But it's raining on and off and is just overall
gloomy - horrible! Poor Ray has picked up one of the bugs going around
and has a bad back too, while my step-son is still limping from a very
badly sprained ankle following a fall. My daughter has re-christened
this place 'Ill House!

I had one upper arm topped up with H1N1 vaccine yesterday. No side effects. 8
people had their arms injected with insulin by accident elsewhere.

Hell's bells - that's a bit serious, isn't it?!
They are "comfortable" in hospital.
When I weighed up the risks it was certainly something I didn't consider.
I'm told by British expat OAPs in France and Germany that H1N1 jabs are not
foreseen.
Judith?

She's away from home, atm. I wonder how anyone mixed up insulin with
H1N1 - a scary kind of carelessness.

And the gale is back
and the rain is hurling itself against the windows.

A bit like being at sea. At least I don't have big plate glass windows that go
in and out with each gust of wind, like I had when I lived in a flat close to
the N Sea. I used to think that they had taken gales into account when they
specified the glass, until a friend had a window shatter during a storm.

I always draw curtains snugly during storms, just in case! We have
leaded panes here, so it's unlikely we'd get danger-to-humans type
damage but I'm not risking anything.
