Yes, no flu shots available here, either. The seasonal flu shots ran out weeks ago and the swine flu shots are not available yet.

Jim got the seasonal and the pneumonia just before they became unavailable. Lucky him. I’m still waiting.

Beautiful tile! Wanna come do mine???

I guess you don’t have a vaccine shortage in the UK — here in southern California I had an appointment for a flu shot at a free senior clinic and got a letter last Friday to tell me the clinic has been cancelled — no seasonal vaccine or H1N1. Called my local pharmacy — they are out call back in a couple of weeks. So will try and be diligent about hand washing etc.!

A few weeks back I spiked a very sudden onset high temperature, started shaking and trembling and feeling awful and my muscles ached a helluvalot — but it all passed in a few hours, after a brief massive sweating delirium. I have had every influenza going, since the 1960s, including 2 hospitalisations. Four years back got post-viral neuropathy. Real flu is a very bad disease indeed in my experience! But I guess it was most likely SF I had the other week, though, of course, there ain’t no way of knowing for sure without “viral studies” being done. Whether to go for the jab? Duh…?

Glad to hear the flu shot was a non-event. That’s always nice for that sort of thing. And, ohboy! That fireplace feature is looking better and better by the day! I’ve always preferred a raised hearth to the floor-level style. So much friendlier I think.

I guess that fierce old lady wants to keep her man around for a while longer.

What Graham is doing looks like a lot of fun! You’re going to have a really handsome hearth there, sir!

I had an early version of swine flu when I was in high school, and a mild touch of it when the kids brought it home from school in the 1970s, so I doubt it will affect me now. Still there’s the seasonal flu to watch out for, so I’m being careful to shy away from sick people, staying out of crowds and washing my hands very carefully when I get home.

I was told by my doctor that people over 65 are probably immune already, I am in a high risk group, but for once the docs are unconcerned. So am I.

I was given the regular flu shot early tho.

My doctor’s office is still waiting for the vaccine. Lucky you to have it available. Graham is doing a beautiful job with the new feature. The tile is lovely. Keep the photos coming.
