Hello Welcome to the forum Your question is in danger of getting lost amongst the omnivore v restricted diet debate, so I’ve brought it back to the top I can’t think of any reason why you shouldn’t be able to book for 2 Have you tried it? Bookings should be open now, I think

Wet and windy again *sigh* Jane - hope you’re sleeping ok after your medical news. All the best for that. And Indiana too. Our health really is the base line isn’t it? Everything depends Anybody feel like this?

In retrospect, the closing of so many of the old style cottage hospitals seems to have been a really poor decision

That’s all sounding positive Jane. Enjoy the clean hair - that will give you a great boost. Will you be ok drying it, or will you have someone help? We’ve got very mild, incredibly windy, dry weather this morning. It must be very difficult for those in the extreme west, who are getting the full force of Storm Kathleen Have a good Saturday/weekend everyone. Bon voyage to anyone embarking a cruise today or tomorrow

Teddy, taking care of Jane

Oh Jane 😱 You’ll need to withdraw from the London marathon then? Seriously, I’m so sorry it happened but thankful you haven’t done any serious harm Bet you’re stiff and sore today 🤕 Others have offered good advice. I’ll also suggest a handful or two of Epsom salts in a hot bath, if you can manage getting in and out. Don’t drink it!!! Hope your recovery is smooth and speedy Whilst I’m here SUE - I’m so glad you got on your Easter cruise Everybody - Hello 👋. See you soon. Have a good day

Lovely food pics from Graham and lovely Caribbean pic from Michelle Here’s a nice pic I found elsewhere. I’m going to take a break from the forum for a while now. See you later. Best wishes to all.

You are very good at finding the right words Jane. I hope they comfort Graham & Pauline It’s all very quiet in my world at the moment. Sometimes I think that’s the best way to be - no drama! Anyway, just a pottering about and sport Saturday for us. Mr Eddie will go to watch local rugby and I’ll be a telly sports fan - not sure whether ⚽️ or 🏉 Have a good day everyone

Have a great cruise Michelle 🚢

It’s one of the forum’s quiet periods at the moment It feels very much like the seasons are changing. Shame that we don’t get a clock change for another fortnight. 🎶 If I ruled the world 🎶 we’d change mid-February Sorry to hear you weren’t feeling great kalos. Fingers crossed you’ll be fit and fine in no time

🤞all will be fine Josy

Pauline - Have a lovely day

Damp here too, though not as heavy as forecast and due to clear mi-morning. That almost sounds like a win, with the weather we’ve been having

That was smashing! Thanks very much I’ll look out for your reports from your future cruises

Oh, sad news Graham My condolences

Hope you’ll be fine

My sleep, or my perception of my sleep, has changed dramatically since Santa brought me a FitBit. I didn’t want it to monitor my sleep - just to be with me all the time and monitor my exercise and give me a heads-up when I have been inactive for a while Anyway - it monitors sleep and gives a read-out in the morning I’ve been really surprised at how much I’m getting in “mini-sleeps”, even when I know I’ve looked at the clock and found it to be 2.30am, or even when I’ve spent some time listening to the radio Always the sceptic, I tried to research the accuracy, and it appears there may be an over-estimate of up to 10%. Even allowing for that, it appears to show me getting reasonable sleep and (here’s the good bit) allows me to feel much more relaxed about it and, guess what, I’m sleeping better and longer as the weeks go on

So, that’s it, and you’re home with your memories and your washing? The disembarkation sounds pretty near perfect, even allowing for an over-brisk breakfast waiter. I hope you both slept well last night No mention of your throat, so fingers crossed that a couple of days of good, old fashioned, iffy, British spring weather and outside air will confirm that all is OK It’s been a long time. Several of us have taken fortnights holidays which are now but a distant memory. MrsGoggins has sailed to the Caribbean and back for 35 nights. There have been babies born and heart pacemakers fitted. A cold snap, interminable rain, daffodils & primroses, a Budget (🙄) - you’ve been there every morning, with your unfailingly interesting reports, and have gone above and beyond with additional snippets and daily menu posts Thank you 🎖

Safe journey I’ve enjoyed your accounts. Your satisfaction with the local tours you’ve taken is evident. It seems you’ve experienced more than by going with the P&O tours - and probably paid less, too Thanks again for taking the time out to post. I hope you got the packing done on time!

Fascinating, isn’t it? There’s a scary statistic about the estimated number of Dads who aren’t actually biological fathers (and Mums who’re keeping very mum) ETA (I’ve looked it up - 4% apparently)

Hope you have a lovely break It’s very windy at the coast. It’s driven us back from our caravan, after an enjoyable few days away. We’ll be there again soon, hopefully with a bit more sun and a lot less wind
