Sometime said yesterday that she had been told that if you showed a strog reaction to the secondn vaccine at least it confirmed that it was working well. I am back to normal now. It is surprising how we all agree on so much - like what we eat and how important good veggies are to one's diet.<br />You say I cheer you up with my comments - rest assured that the feeling is mutual - you keep me going and I thank you for it most sincerely.

I haven't been walking as much as usual but, inspired by you, I've taken some short walks in the past few days when there is a lull in the wind and rain.

Here there is often much confusion about "organic" foods. Many foods are labeled "natural" and that actually means nothing!<br /><br />You are wise to not go out in strong wind as that could easily become a problem.

If they really believed in all they say supermarkets would not have caught on and wouldn't exist and most shopping would be done in markets with fishmongers, butchers and fruiterers.
