At 8pm tonight there is another clapping outside for the NHS nurses and doctors.

Are you doing the same in Israel?

We already applauded from balconies, porches, etc.  for our Israeli nurses and doctors.

They are our heroes and we do all we can to show our gratitude.

I am not as bored with fixing dinner every night as I used to be.  I don’t really have anything better to do, and eating dinner is one of the most interesting parts of our days right now.

 

I miss pool aerobics (formerly three times a week) and am really tired of our neighborhood scenery while walking, so I am working out with Leslie Sansone walking videos.  Though after today’s workout, I won’t be selecting any videos with the word “boost” in the title!

🤣🤣We like the One mile happy walk video, boostless!

My BIL texted me last night, asking if he could visit and stay for a couple of days. He is single, lives alone, and out of work, and says he needs to get out! DH wouldn't respond and said, "well, he texted you, so tell him no." Pissed me off since he is his brother, not mine, and I'd have no problem saying that to my sibling but am not comfortable saying it to his. Anyway, slept on it, and texted BIL this morning, saying that his brother (DH) thinks it's best to continue to follow CDC guidelines through April, and how much I also hated this whole fiasco! After that, I sent another text saying that the outside temps are supposed to be around 65 degrees and sunny Friday and Saturday, and invited him to visit us outside on our open deck while applying social distancing. He has yet to respond to my texts. Probably upset. At least, we are giving him the option to get out of his house for a few hours, get some fresh air, gaze at the lake, and have a social visit with us. Told him we would order pizza for lunch! Last year, he underwent 9-bypass heart surgery and I am more worried about his health vs ours. So am I awful for not allowing him to stay with us for a couple of days?

 

You are not awful at all. He should have known better than to ask you. Your answer back was very gracious.

We were on the same cruise. Love your reviews. More please 😀😀

Many thanks to you Kiri1234 for such an informative review. We will print out your helpful ideas and use them on our upcoming cruise.

Sounds very good. From the port to Rome in 1 hour and 6 minutes for 100 euros in a shared shuttle. Has anyone used a shared shuttle? Does the time estimate to get from the boat to Rome seem realistic? Our cruise is coming up very soon. Trying to decide between a car service to Rome or a guided tour with pick up and return from the port.
