This is the second blog posting for Etsy shop Judysvintagetoybox which shop I am working on this week. I have made some new additions and have some more to come. I have found a small stash of some more children's books which I will be adding and some dolls as well as puzzles.
Also some children's china, including the Flower Fairies plate pictured above.
We have much more settled weather here today, in the Cotswolds, even occasional sunshine, though I am sure that the showers aren't far away but nothing like the recently departed Storm Alex. I hope that everyone is safe and well and hasn't been affected too badly by the flooding.
Yesterday, we received in the post a wildlife camera on which we hope to view some of the nocturnal animals visiting our garden, in particular hedgehogs recently discovered. Roy has built a hedgehog house and I have started leaving food out at night as the hedgehog which we saw late one night looks to be quite small and if they are too small to hibernate they are likely to die.
As keen cinema goers (to Cineworld in Cheltenham) we were saddened by the necessity to close UK cinemas, no doubt precipitated by the film promoters decision not to release the latest Bond until next April. I hope that they have considered that, by not giving the cinemas anything much except Tenet to show customers, there may not be any cinemas left by next April. Also the decision by Disney to show their latest film,Mulan, on their own Disney channel was not exactly helpful as far as cinemas go. Hopefully, there will still be somewhere to go and see films next year and maybe there will be a vaccine available by then.
As I have just turned sixty five I was in the first batch of oldies to have their flu jab for this winter; my appointment being last Saturday. The procedure was very rapid involving mask, hand sanitiser and jab administered standing up by a doctor, instead of sitting down by the more familiar nurse. Then out of the back door as part of the one-way system, in all taking not much more than 60 seconds. Although fine on the day, I did experience a hard swelling on my arm, about the size of an egg, the next day which, though not sore but itchy, was somewaht disconcerting as I am not usually affected. On researching the flu jab on the NHS website, I discovered that the batch administered to the over 65s contains an extra ingredient to ensure stronger boost to the immune system. By today, (three days later), the lump is going down but still slightly itchy. It's MOH's turn on Friday so I hope that he is not badly affected by it.
As I am expecting the courier shortly to collect some parcels I will end here and wish everyone good health over the coming weeks,
Best wishes from Julie
