Where is the son Chaka now? The facebook video 2 years ago of Queen Nandi taking an overdose was quite disturbing.
She seems a lot happier squatting in the woodland.

Oh well, they've been evicted now. Not before a bit of a scrap with a neighbour. Have to say, Asnat is proving herself to be a trusty and loyal handmaiden.

I know the locals wanted them gone, but to be honest if it was a toss-up between them and that harpy and her daughter, I know who I'd prefer as neighbours.

A new one.

I am going for my flu jab today, I refuse the Covid jab. I think I have had 3 or 4,I doubt I will have it again.

So do you have flu/Covid jabs? If you are vulnerable....which includes people with certain conditions and everyone over 65, we are advised to get the jabs. On the other hand so many people still don't trust the Covid jab, and swear the flu jab makes them ill.

Had my flu jab last week. Won't ever have covid jab again. I had to have it as I was going on a cruise and was told it was essential, no cruise otherwise. Never had it since.

Never made me ill though.

I'm loathe to get it, to be honest. But I have asthma so I may do.

I trust the flu jab more than the Covid jab.

Unfortunately, after I have the flu jab, I often wake up in the night with shivers, and feel rough for a day or two. We have booked a family meal out tomorrow night, so fingers crossed it won't happen this time.

You are only a couple of years away from being an old fart and needing your jabs, like the majority of us on here...so better make the most of still being a 'youngster'.

We'll see.

My doctor asked me if I wanted one and I asked him what he thought and he shrugged his shoulders. So I looked at my nurse and she shrugged her shoulders. So I shrugged my shoulders and said I guess that's settled.

My doctor and I have a good relationship and we talk about such things every 3 months when I go. We're on the same page in terms of preventive stuff outside of pharmaceuticals..

He's more worried about things like A1C,.BP and cholesterol than jabs in healthy people..

We'll see what my cardiologist says next month..

I have only had flu 2 or 3 times in my life, and it's horrible. The last time I was really ill for around 3 weeks, my chest got infected, and I don't really want that again.

Plus I live in a cold wet part of the country, lots of people sneezing and coughing, so I think it's worth getting the jab.

The weather doesn't cause the flu, but being stuck inside with people coughing on you does..

What you had sounds more like bronchitis. I used to get that when I was younger.

In summary, habitual physical activity helps the body to prevent infection by the influenza virus. This benefit is equally effective in the elderly, obese, and other populations. Therefore, it is important to actively promote fitness for all and encourage regular participation in physical activity.

You should be huffing and puffing a few times a week. The good news is it doesn't take long when you're old..😎

Or sometimes it can take longer to huff and puff. I suppose it depends on what you are you doing.

I'm feeling rough today. I think it's the flu jab effect. Hopefully be just one day.🤒

Love your avi Syl, fancy putting your real pic up

Thanks Mags...do you like my hat?

I doubt the flu jab is making you feel rough, you had it last week. I had mine yesterday, so far so good.

Had it Friday. I'm not sure as the fibro does this to me too. I had a bad day last week too. At least once a week or so now.

Flu jab every autumn. No side effects, ever (touch wood!🤞🏻).

I’ve had 5 Covid jabs. It‘s clear none have implanted a sneaky little chip in my brain, because I’m still not buying sensible shoes… 😎
