This week, 8th-present.2018.

Not much going on this week as I've had a dose of the Shingles, so if you haven't seen the Hat and Dog, out and about these past few days that's why.

Had a trip to the doctors and then had to convince her what I had because I didn't have any blisters yet!, I convinced her that they hadn't come out yet!, so I got a course of strong tablets and next day I sprouted blisters all over my scalp and right side of my face, looked like the Elephant man!.

Getting better now and due back to the doctors tomorrow, she will be pleased that my face is blistered perhaps.

Well back to more pleasant things, one day had a trip down to Reddish Vale thinking I would walk round on my own and take some pictures and it was full to bursting with children with a long queue at the refurbished Small Animal Farm and the car parking was Manic.

Took a few pictures and came home not quite licking my wounds, Uggh!.

The swans have taken position on their nest after seeing off their last years youngsters!. 

Love is in the air

Whilst some are still on the lookout

Beautiful colours aren't they 

This Moorhen was doing some kind of ritual scooting along with its bum in the air unless it was thinking  'Is my bum looking big in this courting suit'   

Another one in a more normal posture!.

Well should be Abell to get out tomorrow without frightening everyone with my Freddie Kugger impressions, glad about that as I'm going Stir Crazy!.

Good job I've had plenty of books in stock to read, this weeks were PJ Tracy's 'Snow Blind' and Lee Child's, 'The Midnight Line', two of my favourite authors!.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion does the job for a week.

Doctor to patient 

'I have to tell you that you have Acute angina'

Patient,'Why thank you doctor'.

A man is given a pigs ear in a transplant operation, a month later he goes to the hospital for a check up,

'Any problems?' said the doctor,

'No' said the patient 'Though I do get a bit of crackling'.

Visitor to hospital patient.

'I hear they're bringing in a case of Diarrhoea

Patient 'Well anythings better than the coffee they keep giving us'.   

Doctor, Doctor, I think I'm a moth,

'Well get out of my light!'.
