Random Irritations

[AmandaJR]

Anti Vaxers

We have an issue coming up - my sister in laws brother is very much of the ilk of “natural remedies” and is not going to allow his new born to have an vaccines at all because of his beliefs.

Now the sister in law has a 6 month old son and has had all the vaccines etc. Next the brother comes back to the UK from Canada and the SIL won’t allow her kids to mix with their nephew due to the lack of vaccines- so is she being silly or is it a real threat not having the child any vaccines ( not sure of the legal side of travelling etc )

I can see exactly where my SIL is coming from - I wouldn’t want my daughter to mix with children that haven’t had inoculations

My thoughts are the inoculated children are safe BUT that's what the anti-vaxers rely upon. You all "take the risk" and innoculate your children and then mine will be safe as the disease will be less prevalent in society. Having said that - I'd refuse to socialise on principle!

How are you going to know that children haven't had inoculations? I wouldn't have had a clue.

Honest question, after being vaccinated twice, seemingly you should have a certain immunity from the virus.
But can you could you still be a carrier ??

How utterly rubbish I am at sleeping these days. Even when I'm asleep it's so light I feel like I'm half awake and last night slept solidly for 2 hours and then woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for hours.

I used to love that moment of snuggling down for a good night's sleep and now it's so different. Age I guess...sigh...

Got some essential oils stuff coming from Amazon that gets good reviews so hoping they help

Nothing beats a cool room with plenty of fresh air and thick snuggly duvet . Being serious, I don't sleep well when there's not enough cool fresh air coming in.

Years ago we never had vaccines


Yes years ago we also died a lot younger! Idiots

That's why they won't reduce restrictions and say still don't hug people

Once enough of the population takes it it shouldn't matter too much

That’s the million dollar question - you don’t but should a parent tell schools etc that their child hasn’t had their vaccines ?
I know some nurseries don’t allow any child who hasn’t had inoculations to be admitted.

Will we see any rules for the Covid vaccine ?

It will be hard to produce rules from the Government but I'll wager that there will be restrictions placed on people who haven't had the vaccine by companies, buildings, airlines etc etc.
By all means choose to not have it but expect to not be able to get into some places.
Some airlines are already saying they'll want proof of vaccination before flying.

Good. Legally the gov can't do much but every single private buisness can refuse custom to anyone if they see fit.. it's like the rules of socks at a golf club ....no vaccine no admission

You just can't help yourself, can you?

Actually I think that I am on balance supportive of gavin williamson's ideas for the exams - I'm not sure there are many better options - so attempts to find anti-government politics in my post would be rather mistaken.

But hey - some will look to find where there is nothing to find.

it was the girl's attitude to learning that I was actually posting about - but that was I think pretty obvious.

HID likes the room to be warm but I find that simply dries my throat out (to the point I wake up with a dry cough and the can't get back to sleep) and I find it impossible to drop off and sleep soundly. If I put the windows on the night lock she moans there's a draft. Sleepeezee pills do a job for me as well as a few drops of Bach night remedy. Tend to drop off around 1.00am these days, and light doze until about 3.00 then cat nap until its time to get up at 5.15

Apparently the virus can still be present in your mouth and nasal passage and transmittable even although it does not cause Covid-19

Have you tried them? Do you feel rubbish in the morning with them?

Edit - just reading and they are an anti-histamine. Reminds me when I took Piriton for an insect bite and didn't read the pack - just assumed 2 tablets! Slept like a log...might try a regular dose as we have those in the house.

We've gone to a wool filled quilt; quite heavy & snuggly, but somehow not too warm. Comes as two parts so you can pick & choose the weight, but it's the best thing about winter.

 

[chellie]

We have a wool duvet but it's not heavy. Same one for summer and winter.

Have you tried any of the herbal teas? Twinings do a sleep one as do Pukka and Clipper. I have tried all of these and find two bags in one mug do help me. I buy whichever is on offer. Found the pillow sprays a load of rubbish.

I cannot take to herbal teas at all which is another irritation. Recently tried some tea pigs with ginger for digestion and might as well have heated up pond water! I'll have a look at those though as could possibly add some flavoured squash or something. Mind you that would also add an extra pee pit stop in the night!

Is today the day the UK (media) changes from using Fahrenheit to Celsius, and comparisons change from ‘hotter than Athens’ to ‘colder than Oslo’

People that use social media just to argue the toss.

For weather, i mentally calibrate cold temps in celcius and warm ones in Fahrenheit. I can only apologise for this.
For everything else, celcius.
