Follower of non-league football, especially Emley AFC and rugby league, especially Melbourne Storm.
Enjoys photography, local history, books and all the good things in life!
With the local reservoirs filled to overflowing, and the rain coming down in stair-rods, an email from Yorkshire Water today tells me they are pleased to lift the local hosepipe ban.

Only problem is, what do I water first?!!

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Every so often a census paper throws up an interesting entry.

A few years ago, this was a car park. Transformed by the local Council into a park with these superb mechanical animals. Free to play with.
