Impressive. “The Hob Whisperer”

Could be a new reality TV series

I had flu jab a week ago and it’s only yesterday that I began to have an apocalyptic sore throat.

Hope you go OK. I do wonder if the cause of the flu epidemics is the flu jab because the flu seems to arrive just after the jab EVERY YEAR.

(Only joking - I fully support vaccination - saves lives)

I did have a man with a head the size of Jupiter sitting in front of me. I could have done with a booster seat. Presumably a rocket-booster, given the subject.

A bit of a long shot but does anyone know of a wheelchair accessible photography studio for hire in London? I'm trying to plan a couple of studio shoots but finding it hard finding anywhere to shoot
