The lamb shank was so big you could not see my potatoes and veg

Had a lovely pre cruise dinner tonight , chicken teriyaki Arancini balls and curried parsnip soup , then lamb shank potato dauphinois, braised red cabbage, Brussels with pancetta and maple syrup, rump steak with fat chips , a 10 out of 10 for our local restaurant tonight, I Hope Aurora has some good standards 😋

Beautiful robin Angel my favourite bird , it’s only drizzling now and bits of sleet in between.

Hope you both feel better soon

We will be joining you on Friday, have a good cruise and safe journey to Southampton

Angle57 is it snowing at your end round the corner from your end ? 😁

Good morning everyone it’s 1o and it’s snowing out side ☃️ probably won’t come to much the sea breeze keeps it away. well I’m all finished packing, nails & hair done so just the housework to do today and then out for dinner tonight. Being dropped off at terminal at 11 tomorrow but our boarding time is not until 1.15 so we will drop off our cases and either walk or taxi back into the shopping centre to have a coffee or something to eat . It feels very cold here but no frost on the car windows or ground yet .

I’m glad you have had such good advice on here Indiana and pleased you have made a decision now , I read your post in the wee hours this morning and I really didn’t know what to say but I knew someone on here will have much more experience than me and some good advice, I’m happy for you that you have started the ball rolling.

Prayers and thoughts to you all josy today and over the next coming days .

Glad to see you and Pauline had a lovely cruise in the canaries and the food pictures look wonderful, now you have to adjust you’re bodies to the cold wet weather again.

Have a lovely day out sounds very nice , safe travels.

Thank you Pete for all your details on board I’m very interested in the Tiffin box in sindu and the glass house on Aurora, I have already booked the beach house for our cruise next week but obviously leaving sindu for when we get on board and possibly the glass house for lunch on boarding day if it is open, not sure when you get back but I’m currently packing for boarding on Friday when aurora goes to the canaries but really wished we were going to Norway and being in lots of snow, maybe I could be a stowaway on the one after us 😂 enjoy the rest of your cruise

I use all Clinell products the same that they use in the hospitals, I still clean my shopping trolley handle before use .

Hope you have a wonderful cruise and the weather is good for you.

Good morning Kalos and all , our tree leaves are almost gone and some trees are bare and what a mess it all makes on the footpath when it’s wet and slippery but the gardeners keep coming once a fortnight with their tree blowers and clean them up . -71 is cold , I’ve experienced -35 with a wind chill taking it up to -45 took my daughter to play school on a sledge all wrap up in blankets but I left a small part of my bobble hat off my ear and when I got home I had frost bite on it which was very painful 😰. I made a chicken stew the other day it went a bit mushy so was really like a soup it was ok but not has good as a beef one and having Yorkshire puds as croutons is a great idea I will use 👍

Just got back from a walk down the beach , cloudy day today and not very cold at all a bit mild really, over the past week or so during the storms and wind lots of sand has been blown up the beach and covering the railings (these are normally two railings deep) and all covering the walkway so lots of work for the council to replace the sand back level.

Some beautiful pictures Pete , I love cold snowy places and it’s brilliant that you got to watch the whales for so long. We go on Aurora and the same cruise you’re on now but next October so I’m hoping snow will be around then along with the northern lights too, what phone are you taking your pictures on ? I have a IPhone 13 which I take most of my pictures on and then I have a Pentax big camera which I don’t know how to work really so a few YouTube videos I think are in order for then . Glad you’re having a lovely time with your family and we are enjoying your photos and experiences.

Glad you got it sorted before you leave and I hope you have a lovely cruise.

So to hear about your uncle . Have a lovely relaxing hot 12 days on QV , safe travels.

Enjoy your cruise and we look forward to hearing and seeing photos, and I hope you get to see the lights .

So pleased for mrs K that it was nothing serious and you were both able to re board the ship and carry on your holiday, obviously the pain now is to recover your loses through the insurance but as you say you have a good one so it’s just time for payment, glad to hear it’s all ok 👍
