Good Morning everyone ,So much to say ....where to begin ?After I left the dentist last Monday ,I popped into the Doctors surgery ,which is nearby,told the receptionist I was inquiring about a flue jab!...'only do them for the over sixty fives 'she snapped ,I said ...I am ! ...well fill in the form ! says she ,trying to lighten the conversation,I said I think you have just paid me a compliment ,'and put the form in the box ', ahh well !!...well on Thursday I had a phone call to get my jab on Friday afternoon ,so Im done now .
The library is also in that part of town so I decided to call in ,walking up the road I encountered the bear, in the pictures ,quite what he was doing there and why ,I dont know ,but he looked fun so I took a picture anyway ,but there is a primary school nearby ,maybe he'd been there ,
Hey ,....I've been feeding you duff information ....The author I was telling you about the other day ,her surname is Marshall,I believe I said Marchant ,silly me ! I am sorry ...dont tell the woman in the doctors ! Well since she is a local lady the author not the receptionist .... I found many of her books, mostly the ones she had transcribed from her fathers notes ,there are some crude maps of the area ,showing dykes and drains and lodes ,and wonderful illustrations of the Fens .What a feast !
Now for my bestest news ,Last Monday Karen at the office ,e-mailed me with an invitation to go to London ,with her ,its for a presentation ,to silver surfers who have won an award ,not me ! but since I had been chosen by AOL last May ,Karen knew of my interest ,in the subject ,thought I might like to go ...well yes ! Karen who is the tenant participation Manager ,is to pick me up at ten am tomorrow and we will go by train to the 'big smoke' the meeting is to be at Portcullis house ,The Attlee suite,which is I understand,directly opposite Big Ben ,on the Victoria embankment ...so watch this space I shall take my camera ,and hope to have lots to tell you
So on that happy note I wish you all a Blessed Sunday,with Love From
Jan xx

Jan what a lovely compliment the receptionist gave you ~ glad you are enjoying your books on the "Fens" Have a lovely time in London tomorrow ~ Portcullis house ~ The Attlee suite ~ sounds very Grand ~ hopefully you will be able to get some pictures ~ Ally
We usually get flu shots free at work. But since I have a doctor's appoinment Tuesday afternoon, I'm going to ask for one there. I usually don't get it at work until the end of October or the middle of Novemeber, becuase they give all the nursing staff theirs first. And other that have patient contact. Since I'm several blocks away from the hospital building and have no patient contact, we are the last to get them. Sometimes that could be too late...one could already be sick. Linda in Washington
Oh Jan, how lucky you are! You enjoy your London trip and tell us all about it. I have to go for my flu jab in two weeks' time. I'm not over the age limit, but ahve asthma. I HATE needles but will get it done because it is a lot better than getting sick. Thank you for giving us the correction of the author's name. I have her books written down for the next time I walk down to the library.

I get my flu shot at the end of the month. The clinic will set up at the local grocery store for the day. That is in walking distance for us. I sure enjoy all the pictures you put up. Thanks. My Regards, Bill http://journals.aol.com/wfhbear/Commentsontheeventsofmylife/
You did get a compliment! Glad you got the shot...it's important.
That bear is a funny thing to come upon! I'd have laughed so hard!
Hope you have a great trip to London. Take pictures!!!
Pam
Hi Jan, at least you got a compliment out of the snappy receptionist AND your flu jab. I suppose it`s not every day you see a bear walking down the road, at least not in this country anyway...lol! I hope you have an enjoyable day in London, the way things are going you`ll almost certainly have the weather for it. :o)

Hi Jan, I must read those books,will look on Amazon. Going to London sounds exciting, hope you will share the pics soon, and have had a great time,although I really thought that you deserve another award for your journal, but you were on the front page of AOL after being chosen last year.You must be proud of yourself and we all know you and wish you well.

Hi Jan.. I am sorry I haven't been here lately ..obviously my alerts are messed up..but I have now added you to my favs and will have to check there..thanks for pointing it out to me or I wouldn't have known..well I would eventually ...I know who everyone is but forget the names of their Journals..does that make sense??
take care... I am off to catch up on your entries...
Lyn
Late entry I know - sorry! Just wanted to say that I got an 'invitation' to have my flu jab without any prompting - have mine on the 4th Nov. so you got yours sooner than me for asking! Isn't it great when folks question your age lol! more of it, I say :-) I was asked, (why do they do it so snootily?), at Focus on their 'Pensioners 10% day', if I was using someone else's card!! Ha ha ha, don't ya just love 'em :-D
all the best
Freda
Hi Jan, Im catching up backwards! I should have gone upwards! oh you know what I mean! Please tell me what a lode is? ta Those books must have been so interesting, Linda xx
