I don’t tend to sugar coat things to be honest. I write these down for me to remember as my memory is terrible just as much it is to help others that might wonder what the ship is like etc.Well Vamps, your Children are perfect...smiling, or asleep.🤣

Good Morning,
It's very quiet on here this morning, hope everyone is well.
It's raining, misty, breezy and very muggy, with heavier rain is due in later. Not a nice day at all.
My daughter's dog has just frigtened the sea gull that comes knocking on our door, so hopefully it will get the message!
Hope you all have a good weekend.
You dog frightened him all the way down to Weymouth.

Seems that a couple of decent days and we are all off to the beach. We have been lucky with the weather at Weymouth, so will stop off at Swanage on the way home tomorrow. Normally they have punch and Judy.....all together now....oh yes they do.🤣

That looks a yummy lunch!
It was Wednesday walk today and we found ourselves at “Broadchurch”.
The coastal path is closed off, as the cliffs are so unstable. Very worrying 😕Gorgeous day. Sunny. Not too hot, not too cold
There was quite a lot of talk on a recent thread about new European entrance measures due to come into force shortly. I have tried to find the thread again, but failed miserably
Anyway, this press article says it gives the latest position. I haven’t read it (because I am lazy) but it might be of interest to those who were conversing in the original thread. Or maybe someone would like to add the article to that thread?

We popped into Prezzo at Weymouth for lunch. I took a picture of the starter, but we just ate the main and pudding. Very yummy. Especially as DW used her tastecard and we got the meal half price.

I was not aware of that re the Dambusters etc, you are correct that is just as bad.
I wonder at what goes through some people minds or perhaps they simply don’t think.
Most years we have a couple of Spanish holidays. At the kids clubs they often have the " Music man " It's mildly amusing watching the German kids running around with outstretched arms to the dambusters bit. No offense meant,or taken..
Predictive thinks kids dance to hamburgers, but not Dambusters. 🤣

In years to come you will ask your lovely little girls " what didn't you like.? Nothing it was all great." We did cool runnings, but can't remember what's the lunch was like. Great review Vamps.

I feel sure he would have still gone if it had been Wales in the final.
He probably will. One of these days.

I tend to think that the only real rivalry is between England and Scotland. Understandable historical reasons.
One of my Scottish ancestors was hung, drawn and quartered by the English. Fair doos. He was very rude about the King.

Neighbouring countries are sporting rivals all over the world!
England and Scotland are rivals. Wales and Scotland are rivals. Ireland and Wales are rivals. Not just England so don’t take it personally Zapp!
I could write an essay on the topic, but work beckons!
But surely in our united Kingdom we work for the good of all of our fellow United Kingdomers.🤣

It’s like a local derby. Why would you want your rivals to win?
Anyway, I’ll be gentle with you today! Sore heads and all that. 🥹Do you see England and Wales as rivals.?

Red sky at night, Spanish delight. 🫣
Funny how some of the home nations and principalities enjoy seeing England lose. I wonder if it's because they're teams are rubbish.??🤣

I think it’s going to be Spain’s day! 🤞
Did a Spanish bloke do well at tennis? Didn't watch any of it. How did the Welsh do?.

Has anyone been successful in getting agreement for two people to have a different drinks package due to one of them being unable to drink for medical reasons.
i rang customer services today to ask if it was possible and was told I needed to submit a Drs letter and the powers that be will consider it and make a decision. I asked if the letter needed to say anything specific but he was very vague and said he couldn’t say. I spoke to our surgery and my husband will need to make an appointment with our GP to get a letter (which is easier said than done) and i am worried if the Dr doesn’t give the information they need then they might reject it.
For context, My husband was advised by his consultant not to drink about 12 years ago due to a specific medical condition and he hasn’t touched alcohol since. We were planning to get the GP to put that in a letter (and name the condition as well). Do you think that will be enough.thank you
Don't bother and pay as you go.

Morning hope everyone's ok today.
With all this build up to the football even David Beckham's lad has decided he
wants to play football .
He asked his dad "What shirt number do you think suit me on the pitch ?"
His dad could be heard saying ... Wear four out there Romeo 🙃🤣
Have a good day -Take care !
It was the fashion to name your children after the place they were conceived. Paris Hilton, Brooklyn Beckham etc. I explained this to our son..Travelodge.

Good morning.
It is 12°C and been raining for hours.
Nothing planned for today.
I hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend and match tomorrow.
The Lionesses did OK last night. I hope the men's team picked up a few tips.

Good morning everyone - sunny here at present, but BBC weather says round here it will soon go cloudy. A lazy afternoon for me, with two men's semis to watch with four very different tennis players involved. The outcome should be that it will be the same two finalists as last year, but there could easily be an upset.
I hope you all have a good day, especially anyone feeling sad or under the weather.
Enjoy watching that.🤣

We are now laughing at our antics yesterday!
We fancied a coffee so popped into Greggs for coffee and a sausage roll. OH then decided to drive to a local Country Park\Quay. (I was holding one coffee)
I joked asking him if his intentions in the Country Park were honourable etc, sadly they were, although I can't repeat his reply.
Suddenly there was a big speed bump and down onto my lap loads of the scolding coffee went went. I yelled stop, park, help. He pointed to a bottle of water in the side panel. Well he parked near some trees,but even so, goodness knows what anyone thought. Me trying to get my trousers down, still in the car, throwing a bottle of water at my legs, then squirming trying to get wet trousers up. I think our street cred would have gone up.. two old dodderers trying to have fun🤣🤣We dream!!
Luckily I think our quick action worked. A bit of redness but all well. Mind you the ride home was uncomfortable, wet trousers and drawers and wet seat.
I bet that brought back memories, but I don't really know what you mean. 😉🤣

Just packed our bags for our Scottish adventure and totally at a loss what to take! Looks like two dry days, the rest hovering between Cloudy with showers, drizzle and downpours. Friday looks the best day and as I'm on my own that day (typical) as my husband is going across to Glasgow for a client visit I've booked myself a hire car to visit the Falkirk Wheel, Kelpies and Linlithgow which I didn't make last month from Queen Anne. I hope Miss Google can help me get there okay or I might get very lost!
Flying out of Heathrow tomorrow - fingers crossed - BA just emailed to say the flight is now full due to people rebooking from the fiasco earlier in the week. Couldn't even get seats together when I looked earlier in the week so we are stuck in rows 21 and 23 right near the back. They've also asked we check our hand luggage free of charge so it sounds like it isn't going to be much fun! Our original flight changed a month back and this one is two hours later so it will fall into the interesting category.
Saturday is Edinburgh Castle Paul Weller day, forecast is damp and drizzle until 7.00pm, hopefully dry after that so fingers crossed. I've been distracted so forgot to book anything for food but have just reserved somewhere called The White Hart for an early meal before the concert. It claims to be the oldest pub in Edinburgh, but I've visited so many "oldest pubs" over the years I can't help but wonder! The Scottish menu looks interesting though with plenty of Cullen skink and haggis, I just hope it is good as I'm in trouble for forgetting to organise food whilst in Edinburgh - I'm told rather sarcastically that if we can't find something tomorrow there's McDonalds on Queen Street ...
Hope everyone is on the mend, blood pressures are normalising and that England surprise us all and play like Brazil '70! Have a great day all.
I hope you have a great holiday in that Scotland. Sitting apart on the plane is DW's objective. A couple of suggestions. Take an English flag to wave when you watch the football and a Woking banner to celebrate Paul Weller. 🤣

Good morning from a fellow member. My laptop is going slow, I think it I bunged up with stuff so I think if I switch it off and leave for a while it will come back up to speed. We will see. Normally leave it on sleep - wish I could do the same for myself!
If you clear your cookies .If may not speed up your computer, but a few extra biscuits always helps.
