Saturday's Sunrise

We were out and about at just the right moment yesterday morning.
Glorious Sunrise

It was the usual battle of wills.
The four legged boss wanting to examine and analyse every enticing scent.
Me wanting to reach the ideal place for that final photo before the event was over.
You will only need one guess as to which of us won this time.

Took my mind off it being Flu jab day at the local surgery.
No problems with the actual injection but I know that area of me is usually sore for several days afterwards. The session started at 8.30 a.m.. There was already  a queue of about 30 people when the doors opened. It pays to be early as I was informed they ran out of vaccine a couple of weeks ago when they had a session at their other surgery on the coast. As these are walk in sessions it is difficult for the staff to accurately estimate how many of those eligible for a free flu vaccination will actually turn up on the day.

Saturday was another exceptionally warm day for the time of year.
My weather station recorded 24.8C by mid-afternoon.
Dry but very blustery. Maximum gust recorded was 52km/h

    How do they know what sort of flu to prevent? I had one about fifteen years ago, bloody near killed me.

    1. Adrian: 12 degrees lower today and wet, wet, wet.
      As the flu vaccine starts to be prepared 6 to 8 months in advance they can only guess from trends at the time which to include. Got caught by the Hong Kong Flu outbreak in the 60's. Never want to go through that experience again.
