Bright blue skies down here too, with a bit of a breeze. They are forecasting showers later.

Washing out on the line as it's an ideal day for drying. 

Only a week now til our cruise, so I suppose I should think about packing. We have a boarding time of 15.30 next week so don't know how we will fill the time?

Cheesecake finished and now having some peace and quiet before collecting Mum and the family gather at my daughter's.

Well, we've had windy weather, sunny weather, pouring rain weather, the sun is out and the sky is blue weather ... and now it is hailing .... 

Am trying to work out which month we are in 🥴 

It's like that down here too. We had hail showers earlier on. We've just been out to the local garden centre and took shelter until the rain (or should I say tempest!) passed before returning to the car. 

Morning to one and all,

Yesterday turn out to be a lovely spring day after our rainy start. Not so nice today, it's windy with heavy showers and a lot colder. but according to the forecast it's supposed to by dry.

My granddaughter's birthday party this afternoon, so will need to finish off the cheesecake I made yesterday.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

We flew out to join Azura in Tenerife January this year. Flying from Bristol, our flight was with Jet2.

We needed to collect our luggage on arrival and take it with us to the coach for the transfer to the port, which is a journey time of about 45mins to an hour, depending on traffic.  Cases were unloaded from the coach onto cages, transfered to the ship and delivered to cabins. Check in was a smooth process, through security and then to check-in.

Next week we are travelling up the day before and have a boarding time of 15.30 we will have a lot of hanging around. Hopefully when we arrive on time we will not be kept waiting, like we were last year.

Morning everyone,

Our run of sunny days has ended as it's raining.

Busy day again today. Firstly a trip up to Tesco, followed by a day of baking for my granddaughter's birthday party tomorrow.

@brian1 Have a safe journey home

Hi all,

Hope you're all well.

Another sunny morning here. Yesterday was a lovely spring day with the temp reaching 14c.

Taking a train trip up to Plymouth shopping as need one or two bits for our cruise next week.

Hope everyone has a good day.

My prescription for reading glasses has hardly changed in six years, but I needed to change my distance glasses. As I only wear them for driving I went for a cheap pair that react to the light, so they only set me back by just over £100. Pity my son no longer works for Boots as he could have got me a discount.

Had a phone call yesterday, reminding me of my opticians appointment for today and advising me to arrive 10-15 minutes beforehand. Arrived as requested and then sat for nearly half an hour waiting!

Morning all,

Sun tryting to get out again here, although it didn't stay out all day yestrday as we had drizzly rain in the afternoon.

Having a busy week this week, as have opticians appointment this morning. 

Hope everyone has a good day.

I too have praise for the NHS staff. From the diagnosis of my first brian turmour and operation was a total of six weeks, and after the re-growth I was treated again quickly. I can't fault the care I received during recovery and after my latest round of treatment, I receive regular phone calls to check everything is OK.

My daughter is a nurse and I know what long hours they work and the pressures they are under.

I am back from the doctor and my ECG was clear, he has changed my medication and said that I can go on holiday but I will get an appointment to go to the hospital for more tests.  I have called Staysure and updated them so I am all clear for our cruise next week. I now just need to decide which clothes I am going to need for the cruise and get packing.🤞

Glad to hear that it is good news, and you can now get on with planning your cruise.

I have just rung P&O to order a wine package. I had made a cup of coffee, sat down, was prepared for a wait and was taken by surpise when the call was answered almost immediately. Wine ordered and paid for in about 6 minutes☺️

I must be having a roll of luck!

Hope you have a lovely cruise too, we have never been on Arvia, I just feel that it may be a little too big, Sky Princess is the largest that we have been on and she is the one that we are going on this time too if the doctor gives me the all clear this afternoon.

I hope you get the all clear. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.🤞

Where are you cruising to ?  Hopefully we will be cruising next week to the Canaries.

The Med on Arvia.

Hape you have a lovely cruse. We cruised round the Canary Islands in January.

We have another sunny day here, three in a row😲 We must be heading for some sort of record!

Went out for a meal yesterday with the members of a club OH belongs to, and won a bottle of Prosecco in the raffle☺️ One of my other numbers also came out of the hat, but I asked them to redraw the prize. 

Hair dresser is coming to Mum's today, so am going round there to get my hair cut as well. Will also check Mum in online for our cruise next week. 

Another bright sunny day here today. Two days in a row!😲

Washing out on the line, instead of having to dry it indoors or use the dryer.

Going out for a meal tonight, but nothing else planned.

Is that the kids club?

 

It is quite dull and damp this morning but mild.

 

Happy St Patrick's day to all our Irish friends, my granny was 80% Irish, they called her Iris.

It does sound like it.

That is three of the evenings entertainment in The Headliners Theatre!

Good Morning,

Hope you're all well.

I've just logged into My P&O to book dining and entertainment. The entertainment is very uninspiring. One of evening we have The Sooty Show and on another couple The Kids Party Live!

Hope you all have a good Sunday.

My baking is done now, too.

Chocolate Orange Viennese Fingers, Gingerbread and Sticky Lemon Slices (just waiting to be cut).

My baking is still in the process of coming together.

After my trip to Truro this morning, it has been a bit like Piccadilly Circus, as it is OH's birthday. First one daughter called in, then my eldest daughter. My eldest son followed shortly afterwards, all with their partners and then another daughter arrived bringing my granddaughter's school blazer with her as well, to see if I could mend it, as a matter of urgency. 

Dull and damp was the start of our weather here, then misty. My son requested a lift to Truro as it was raining, the rain turned torrential resulting lots of standing water. I called in at Tesco on my way back, as I wasn't going to go out again in that, and bumped into my daughter (literally). Now I'm home the rain has stopped, for now.   Typical!
