I just had my booster jab this morning.  :thumbsup:

Downside was that the entire city of Wollongong seemed to have the same idea! However, they are pretty efficient in there (an old department store in the CBD), and I was in and out in an hour. The air conditioning wasn't working though.

Ran into the eldest Bealette in there, which was a bonus.  :thumbsup:

There's nothing wrong with being stupid if yer smart about it! :thumbsup: ... ... ... Ummm, that is, getting the booster is smart, and... Oh never mind...  :uneasy:

I had my booster shot a month ago and Louisa had hers about two weeks ago, we both had virtually no problems.  :). By coincidence, I was reading your post yesterday George and what came through on an email? My updated 'Covid Certificate' which now states that I have had 3 of 3 jabs - wonder what number it will eventually show  :hmmm:.

Had my 4th vaccination on Friday and felt a bit rough yesterday but back to normal now, just a bit of a sore arm.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Well, according to Services NSW, it shows that both me and me daughter were exposed to a covid positive case while we were there. Seeing as most of the city were queued up and in there, it doesn't surprise me.  ::)

We're both feeling fine.  :thumbsup:

Went out to the Lincolnshire coast to watch the glorious sunrise this morning, and to take a long walk up the beach. The low tide was at about 7:30 so plenty of expansive sand to stride along.

An hour and a half after the sun made its appearance I came across a most unexpected sight of - and indeed a lengthy close (-ish) encounter with - a European White Tailed Eagle! :bounce:

It was stood, stock still, on the tideline less than fifty yards from me and after being mobbed by a couple of Crows (or Rooks) flew around me a couple of times before landing a little further distant ahead of me upon the same inter-tidal sands upon which I was stood, transfixed. I tried to approach closer but a Seagull now bothered it and it took flight again, arcing around me again to land behind me about 100 yards back, possibly now stood on the tracks in the sand I had recently made. It stayed there for the next ten minutes or more before a walker with dogs happened by and it flew off out of sight.

It was a wonderful experience, and the closest I have been to a wild Eagle of any type.  I notified the local county specialist who has told me this was a three year old juvenile male, released in the Isle of Wight in 2020 having been relocated and with others from an original site in Scotland. It is fitted with a tracker and I have seen just how far it, and other similarly released Sea Eagles (aka White Tailed), travels. 100 miles in a day is not unusual.

For the interested, the bird is known, rather abruptly, as G471.

My photos from my phone camera are rubbish, but here's one of the sunrise, and a poor one of the Eagle himself as he flew around me:





What a wonderful happy day! :thumbsup:

A lovely picture of the sunrise Mike and as for seeing an eagle - and getting a photograph of it - wow!  :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, my picture is not in the wild, so not as good a "capture". Although the bird was originally wild, was injured and brought to a sanctuary, where it has stayed. At the moment I took the picture, it was about to skim my head, grabbing a chick that one of the sanctuary staff was holding right behind me. It was quite an experience to have that coming right at me! I was very lucky to click at just the right moment.

That is one scary pic, Steve!

There's nowt wrong with your pictures, Mike, or your story. A pleasure to read in these covid-ridden times.  :beers:

Today is 'Blue Monday' so why am I posting in the 'Happy Thread'? Go on then, I'll tell you. The Nurse at the Surgery telephoned me earlier to let me know the results of my PSA test from last week. The figure is 1.57!  :o.  I asked her if the decimal point was in the right place. She said it was and this figure is the lowest I have had since the PSA checks began something like 7 years ago.  :) . I have had a couple of readings that were above 20, so everybody at the Surgery - not to mention me - are rather pleased with this latest reading.  :).

On top of that, the case for Louisa's new phone arrived in the post, as did a parcel from 'Plaza Japan', so a good day. There is one sad point to make though, the NGS Hunslets have not yet arrived.  :(

Good news David! :thumbsup:  I remember when my PSA finally returned to near zero two years ago - I was c-ock-a-hoop, over the moon, and generally on cloud nine - so I know just how you feel.

Long may your future tests (I now get one a year) remain low and harmless.
:beers:

Well this morning I had my 4th Covid vaccination which in my booster as the previous three were all primary shots. I got a call last Thursday from my GP's exactly three months after the third jab.

Thank you to the NHS for looking after me and all others

Shame I'm not a gambling man as I successfully predicted the teams heading into the Superbowl from the Championship games, but I might, just might, buy a lottery ticket for the first time in my life :)
