What a contrast in weather between yesterday and today. Yesterday really couldn’t have been nicer, today is just really grey, with the possibility of a little rain mid-morning 😳. That will be a bit of a surprise No plans - we’ll see what turns up

Such a shame that, despite promises, they hadn’t got his present finished. Waiting to put the top on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Talking of big, and back to one of our favourite topics … 😬

Hey all. It’s been the most beautiful of days, and continues to be a perfect early summer evening It’s Mr Ed (can’t help thinking of the blond talking horse from TV a million years ago) ‘s birthday today. Three quarters of a century 😳 We had a fabulous fishy lunch (wine was taken 🙄) Now football, sunshine and sneaky few 💤 in the chair 🙂 Food porn A sneaky Bloody Mary - almost a gazpacho starter! Mussels for me. I think the nicest I’ve ever had. All small and tender. Thyme and lemon in the liquor gave it a lovely flavour I’m so tidy (ocd?) 🙄 Skate with chorizo (why did chef give me the extra piece? Not complaining but I do look malnourished! 🙂) and a pudding! Unusual for me but hey - how often do you get to treat a sweet old pensioner to a fish birthday lunch? 🤣 Cherry chocolate pot and espresso All quiet here now! The dog will want her supper soon but apart from that, I think the kitchen is closed Have a good evening all. I hope your team wins!

It’s informative to get other people’s views on cruises/cruise lines, and this comparison has been an interesting read imho we should welcome such threads. It takes time and patience to compose them.

We woke at 4.36 precisely, when him indoors, dreaming about driving two cars at once (🙄), knocked over his water glass 🙄. Of course, there was no further sleeping after the mopping up Much cooler & more liveable this morning. Even clouds 6

Hang on in there anyone sweltering 🥵 Looks like tomorrow will be significantly more comfortable So, we’re not getting the fabled English summer - *3 hot days and a thunderstorm*. Just *3 hot days, then not so hot* It might be a bit warm tonight though Luckily we’re at the caravan and it has windows on all 4 sides, so we should be able to organise a bit of air movement 🤞

Happy Anniversary!

Morning all I think this is the last of the really hot days; seems daft to complain for months about bad weather & then say that the temperature is hard to deal with but here we are. As others have said, I think 20-22 is the optimum for most Brits The best comment I’ve seen on the football was from a cricket fan - “Don’t let an England football fan tell you test cricket is boring, ever again” Have a nice day. Take care in the sun

Morning all Hot days forecast today and tomorrow, so shall adjust activity accordingly. Still feeling nicely “exercised” from yesterday’s strenuous hike. It’s book club this afternoon, so that will be a quiet couple of hours indoors.

Welcome home Graham

That looks fun kalos, and I hope Mrs k is recovering well and that the trip helped Busy day today, with lots of posts & lots of people on the move. We met up with my sister & bil & we went for a walk around the Cerne Giant. Poor Mr Giant is badly in need of some weeding and re-chalking - he didn’t display very well at all. However, we had a grand walk (with a couple of precarious descents) and a lovely lunch in the courtyard of one of the 3 pubs in the village. She brought her 2 dogs, so with ours as well we were quite a pack! The sun stayed stubbornly hidden, but given the fairly strenuous walk, maybe that wasn’t so bad. It’s sunny now. Pictures would have improved with sunshine, but you can see the glorious countryside 6168325A-18D7-43BC-A8AF-B0CEE6BB574A.MOV

Welcome back Graham and Pauline We missed you, despite your daily weather reports from the north east of England I’m glad you had a lovely time and it’s good to hear a good report of Arvia. Was it your first time on her?

As the song goes 🎶 Things Can Only Get Better 🤞 Hopefully you are at the terminal now, or possibly already boarded? Bon Voyage, have a great cruise, and thank you for doing a contemporaneous blog

Welcome back Sue - glad you had a good time Bon voyage Brian 🤞 All quiet here. We had torrential rain last night, after a lovely sunny day 🤷‍♂️. It’s nice again now; who knows what the rest of the day will bring

It is! The walk will be part of your workout too! Seaside today. It’s been lovely

Australia?

Best wishes for a possibly technicolour Mrs k. Hope she’s back to top form asap Lovely day here & beautiful sky last night I call this one “Sunset Over Caravans”

Thank goodness for that! All quiet & calm here. We led the Wednesday walk, which was also quiet & calm as lots of people are away. 6 humans, 2 dogs enjoyed a mosey round the fields, starting from home, no cars required. We’re now at the caravan and finally experiencing summer weather. Whoop de Doo Winter wheat coming along nicely

Saw this on Countdown earlier It’s bang out of order

That’s really bad kalos - even for you! 🙂 Yes - hope we’re not speaking too soon, but the pop-up seems to have popped-off 🤞
