I have heard of this device Althea, it works fine for some but not for everyone. I guess it's worth a try, on saying that I believe once you start you have to carry on with it to get any benefit. It's quite expensive of course If you find it doesn't work for you. I would rely on your GP's advice first.

Hi Althea I have a question for you. Are you still taking covid vaccine? Why ? I took 3 doses a year in 2020 and that was it. Nobody talks about it here anymore. Millions of doses bought by the government are expired and trash. We only get an annual flu shot in late fall.

Like Ron, I have had torrential rain all last night and all today. I went for my covid jab yesterday and was straight in and out, very unusual. I was absolutely fine as I have had Spikevax before. Just had a sore arm in the night and it's still tender to the touch. My friend took me shopping and I have stocked up, so I can last quite a while without another "big shop". I have been doing some research into Dysphagia and I came across a gadget called an IQoro. They reckon you can exercise your throat muscles with it. I will have to ask my doctor if it's genuine. It seems unlikely to be to me. They cost £145 - for the small plastic gismo that you can train your muscles with. If it does work, it will be worth it. Hi Althea I have a question for you.

We didn’t get the predicted onslaught of rain yesterday just a bit of drizzle. It’s cloudy at the moment but it is supposed to be sunny this afternoon and Friday and Saturday - we shall see.

Well, first I have to say that I've had a couple of rough days and the only explanation is that the vaccine knocked me about. Yes, Lily, we have the vaccine about twice a year now. At least, older people who are vulnerable, do. I thought I was fine with it, but once it had had time to get through my system, I felt weak and headachy and couldn't sleep properly. I am feeling better today thank goodness. It's official, we have had a month's rain in 2 days and nights. There is more rain to come, too. I have the heating on too.

I have a sort of feeling I may have got the stage where it's too late for gadgets for me.

Morning all: Blimey, we've gone back to winter. It's freezing here this morning. Got the usual M&S shop to do and a few things from town to last until Tuesday.
