Joy Of Joys!

Diana felt so much better,


we caught a bus into town,

to the Beckenham Beacon Hospital to drop off a sample,

and walked back through town, doing a little shopping on the way,

Diana went into the shops whilst I waited outside in he blazing sun, it was the warmest day in March for 54 years according to the news reports, if only The George was open, a larger and lime would have gone down so well,

we made our way up the hill towards the church,

stopping for some more window shopping and actual shopping opposite the Beckenham Green, where lots of residents were enjoying the sun,

as we arrived back in the park, the garden at Foxgrove Lodge,

was putting on a nice display of magnolias,

one of the rhododendrons,

 was also out in flower,

another magnolia just about to open its flowers,

this early white cherry tree already putting on a good show, I was so happy that Diana had gotten over her influenza, as of course she was as well, 

after our evening meal it was feet up for Skylines (2020), which somehow just did not measure up to the previous 2 films in the series, great special effects, an adequate storyline, but half way though the film we both thought it was too long, it went on for nearly two hours, but there it was, we followed that with a New Tricks and rounded off the evening, off or I should say early morning, with one more from The Irregulars, which we are now really enjoying before we were off to bed.

Forgot. alley and I receive flu shots every year as government preventative medicine program. We have had them last 16 years and both of us have never gotten sick from flu or other issues. Do you and Diana also both get a flu shot each year? Mine covers 4-6 types of flu for over 65 types while Alley’s flu shot covers the most prevalent flu virus strain for the year. If she does not get one maybe this could help prevent future issues.
Regards
John and Alley

Typo-if she gets one it may prevent future issues.

Dear John and Alley, I have a flu jab every year I normally receive call from the doctor to arrange a visit to the surgery, Diana being under I think it is 60 years old does not receive one, but in light of this when I am asked next winter I will ask for a appointment for Diana as well, best regards, Stan and Diana.

9It has worked very well for Alley. She was a pharmacy tech and then a waitress in a Thai restaurant when we lived In Nashville so was exposed to a lot of people daily but never got sick. We believe the annual flu shot is the reason for no illnesses So happy Diana is better. Never good when someone in the home is ill as causes anxiety and you feel helpless to help them feel better. Let’s all hope for smooth sailing forward.
