Meantime, DS1 tried to "repair" the video for the ".mov" challenged 😉 c0e6b374-845f-465a-802e-8afadab897f3.MP4

It is, and it's too short... Today is the last day 😢 DH is having a tremendous help with fresh pasta 😎 I think the video is visible in other modes. May be our kind movies in charge, John @Ozark_Kid will help? Thanks IMG_8321.mov

@Jimbo JMHO, after travelling extensively through Europe, and began cruising in 2010, at the ripe age of 59 😕 I'll give the first part of this itinerary a miss. I'll take a cruise which starts in Rome (and arrive 3-4 days before the cruise), which ends in Venice (Ravenna) and add 2-3 days there (or vice versa -- Venice to Rome). Paris deserves much more than 2 days. I'll make a dedicated trip for Paris and London, travelling between the two with the Eurostar. Amazing. Florence I could do with a full long day. Much of our travel in Europe has been driving from one place to another. I absolutely hated having to "live from our [car] boot" and having to pack/unpack every 2-3 days... So glad we discovered cruising, albeit late, even at the "price" of not doing "in-depth" travelling. My "philosophy" is that anyhow I'll not see everything in the world thoroughly... budget and time are big constraints.

@Sea Dog Greg, my 2 cents about different POV with old time friends in those days' "climate" -- Apart from my HS "gurlz" group, we're part of a group of 7 couples going back some 40+ years, and a smaller group of couples whom we met while being relocated to Brussels. The "gurlz" and the "Brussels" -- we're all on the same page regarding the "situation" in our country. Of the 7 couples, one of the "founders" (actually, he's a widower and was set up with another widow, turns out they're on the same page...) is against any compromise and peaceful solution. He's very dear to all of us, and early on, we decided not to talk in our meetings about the "situation". When, somehow, he or his SO start on their views and try their best to "convert" us, we listen and do not reply. Apart of this "fault", he's on the same very page with all of us regarding justice and human rights, so there is that... During the years, there were "attempts" to add more couples, but we quickly discovered that we were not on the same page with the new "additions", and those who initiated the "additions" were kindly requested to see them in "private"....

+ 1 Greg, @Sea Dog Dear Jennifer, heartfelt condolences on your loss. May your father RIP 😢

Sue and Donna, Pls. help me understand... "12 hours shifts" -- does it mean continuous 12 hours, or 4 days [shifts] of 12 hours, and then 4 days off? Same as 3 week end days in a row? When I've served in the army, we had 7 hours shifts with 2 breaks of 20 mins of sitting down. We're patrolling in what may be called the "Grand Central", checking suspects of terrorism activity. I used to return home whipped out. Since then, I'm sitting down whenever I have the possibility....😉

Thank you for the picture perfect cats, purrrrre creatures in this not so purrrrfect world...

@Etta1213 Thank you for your kind post, one of many 🙏 Not a day goes by that we do not think about relocating. There is absolutely no future in this place. But, at our advanced age, it is, sadly, too late for us 😢 Despite the enormous difficulty of being far away from our youngest son and his family, I'm glad they managed to relocate, and hopefully, they'll find a new and peaceful life in the Netherlands. @helen haywood + 1 Marian
