What doctors say about one of the biggest flu shot myths “The influenza vaccine shows the immune system what potential components of the virus it should focus its efforts on,” one expert said.

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine.

The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.

Eeyore looks like our spaniel puppy when he’s told he’s not allowed to chew my arm (leg, feet…)

After 6am and the kids are still asleep on Christmas morning. Unheard of!!!! Although I think the 9year old was moving around at 4am and put back to sleep by dad. Teenager snoring on the camp bed to my left. Changed days…

Just came to find you and I’m an hour early! We’re at my mum’s and I’m getting a bed to myself as I have a chest infection 😂 Son on the camp bed next to me and daughter in with her dad in the next room. Dog currently snoozing on the couch.

As Mary & Joseph & the wee donkey approached the Little Town of Bethlehem they will have seen at least one shepherd, in a field, with a flock. But how many shepherds, fields, and flocks were there in Bethlehem?

A bright, starry night above a stone church in a small village in the countryside. The accompanying text reads, “Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the stranger and the unwashed child, care for the sick, love your enemies.”

We were at the parade but further along. We walked back up through Liverpool One but could easily have gone up Dale Street. Mum, dad, an LFC mad teen and his 9 year old sister. We got back to our hotel to so many messages asking if we were ok. Glad we turned right instead of left.

In the pub last night, accosted by a chugger (Brit: charity mugger) in a tabard saying their company is raising money for a charity and will we pledge for the disabled kiddies.

My friend S: Are you a registered charity?
Him: We’re raising money for a charity.

Running riot through the school kids in Inverness. My two have been off school but I’ve not caught it (yet). Had my flu jag so hoping that’s stopped it.

Storm (for once!) missing us in the far north. So we got snow this morning instead. Puppy very intrigued.

Looks like she died by falling into a giant Viennetta.
