Delis?  The museum?

Not Roman artifacts, much older.

Oops.  Got that wrong.  Etruscan, I’m thinking.

They’re definitely Roman artifacts.  The amphora is Roman.

Constantinople?

There’s a song about that.

Massive volumes  of rain and big winds down here on Far South Coast. 280 mm of rain in Batemans bay in past 24 hrs, horrendous, big seas too.

 

A normal half hour drive to Moruya to see Oncologist takes half hr. Today an hour, dodging trees down, flooding, new pot holes etc. no doubt some of you out there are copping it too.

 

Been keeping watch on your situation, Les.  Heavy rain past two days here, too, but nothing like the coast.  If you’re still up for Raymonds, we’ll be there, unless the road down the mountain is closed or iffy.  If I don’t ring you, we’ll be there.  Table is booked under my name😊

One last stab from me:  Spain.

Was my favourite cruise

We haven't answered Mic's pic (could be the start of a poem) yet.

Roman artifacts discovered in Kent, UK?

Pompeii?

Beat ne to it.  I have the twin photo🥰

The Nile?

On QE, my husband engaged in convivial conversation with the coffee machine every morning, and the coffee was delicious.  He is Italian though, born not far from Illy's Trieste headquarters😆

Correct, and even though I took this photo, and use the china produced there daily, I still have to turn the plates ovef to check the spelling😂.          
Your turn…

I should spell “over” correctly, too🙄

Yes.  Can you name the spot?

Italy

Nope.  No chianti produced here, but you could feel quite merry after a glass or two of port.

Oops, typo:  Bulgaria😊

Have you got one of the ones on a corner? That should give a nice sense of space. I’m hoping the division will be all right. I assume it has a screen on each side, which I don’t necessarily want, but imagine most people do. As you say, something to look forward to.

We’ve chosen mid-stern, which should afford  panoramic views, although not quite as expansive as a corner balcony.  Yes, I imagine a screen either side was a motivating impetus for the divider.  

Bulgatia:  Veliko Tarnovo (Tsaravets Museum and Reserve).

Claustrophobia rules my life.  I once refused to undergo an MRI until they reset the machine so I could slide in feet first.  Ours is a Q3, and the areas look sufficiently spacious.  Of course, we need to “be there to know”, so we shall see.  Of note is the fact that the partition is open-sided, so really I think its function would be to create an aura of division, rather than enclosure.  We’re really looking forward to our voyage.

I was actually simply trying to correct your name, which I'd incorrectly written.  There's obviously something wrong with my editing skills.

There's that double-post echo again😤

Gosh, Leigh, that's quite a lifestyle change, at least in the short term.  Mario and I send our warmest healing wishes to Rob, and extra strength to you.  It's incredible how what at the time seems a slight discomfort can morph into a condition requiring drastic remedial measures.  You will both need to make time for yourselves and for adequate rest periods during these very busy days ahead.  You will be in our thoughts and prayers.  Tell Rob I will be speaking to our mutual ancestors to make sure they are watching over him.

Since my retirement, Rob and I have managed to still stay relatively sane when we are both home. We still do our own things and sometimes do things together but the next possibly few months are going to test me. Rob had two toes removed two weeks ago due to a severe infection in his right foot which started from a soft corn between the two amputated toes - the two littlest on the right foot. He has a negative pressure machine attached to his foot where the toes were to promote healing and take away any nasties still there. The nurse who came on Friday, when asked how long he will have it attached said anywhere up to three months. Fortunately it is mobile and he can move around with it with the help of a walking frame. But he has to be helped in the shower, hopefully we have now have than down pat after a few adjustments to the routine. He is still learning to walk with the frame and really can't help me with anything. So I am doing all the things Rob would usually do (under strict supervision 🤣) plus everything I normally do plus being the maid. Of course, he has had a few visitors since coming home from hospital last Thursday which means making tea and coffee for them. Oh well, I guess I'll survive but whether Rob does .......
