It's A Kind Of Magic .... 🙃🙂

Yes I remember that but it worked much better if it was unused 😉

I suppose it all comes down to what you want personally ? Some folk want to be parked near the ship others happy to park in the multi saving a few quid. We've been there and done both, nowt up with either but for us we now use the Holiday inn or cricket ground Hilton.We do this for several reasons ..1/ We like to travel the day before and walking distances or carrying bags is a no due to medical reasons . Wake up next morning ,have a nice breakfast and at our time jump into a taxi provided and whisked to the cruise terminal doors ,suits us fine . That's what it's all about what suits you ,yer make your choice . Every choice has good and bad ,even the Hilton , you keep your keys and its covered with cameras and a coded release barrier but on the down side Do not park under the trees or near the golf range 😬 @devonuk If you don't mind me asking, where do you choose to park for your cruises now ? 🙂

A frosty -1.c here but a bright morning . We are both old enough to have a bus pass but haven't bothered as when you walk past our bus shelter it doesn't have a time table, they have a calendar instead The service is really that bad . Did I ever tell you about a bloke that got the bus every day and always bought two tickets. The bus driver intrigued one day decided to ask: "why do you always buy two tickets" and the man says: " well its simple I put one ticket in my left pocket and one in my right, that way if i lose one I still have the other " and the driver asks: " And what if you lose both tickets?" And he says " Oh don't worry i have a bus pass " 🤣 Have a lovely Sunday everyone .🙂

MLT1105 Now pushed back and on taxi to the runway . https://www.flightradar24.com/MLT1105/34207068

MCR Airport now showing going out tonight 8 pm

We had to be at our meeting point for 7.45 and with the MDR not open before 7am ,we would have had a rush and been clock watching . As we were up, we were in the buffet for 5.45 and had a cuppa and fruit and cereals that they were just putting out. This left us loads of spare time and there was only one other guy sat having a drink when we were in there . Plenty of time to go clear our safe and collect all our bags from our cabin .

Good morning , 1.c frosty and sunny start to our day . Funny how things go full circle ,how we had our mums worrying about us when we were younger and before you know it the tables are turned as they are older ? Hope @Peanut006 was doing ok when you went to see her last night and glad to read @P&O SUE mum was ok and sent home by the Hozzie 🙂 Hope everyone has a good day .Take care !

We used the Daily Sport which had scary stories about sprouts that attacked folk walking up their own garden path . Thinking back I would sit there crapping ..Oh wait a minute 🙃 Unlike Avril, we were far too poor to afford a hook we just had a tack 😉

Never mind the buzzcocks but what about getting your plumber to check your ballcocks 🙃

Great news ,hope her choice of food improves now. Onwards and upwards 😃

Same here using Holiday Inn or the Hilton cricket ground both with taxis and breakfast included. Now we are both retired and not tied down with work ,we like to expand our holiday by staying the night before, makes it more relaxing start. We too used to use Penguin Parking and found the very good . The only fault with them is should you need to cancel , they do not do refunds at all , apart from £20 in the first 14 days of booking but having more time on our hands and wanting a pre hotel stay the first two above suits us fine .

The chemist we used was very close by and handy for you folk who may need more headache/ sea sickness tablets . Will put a google link for anyone's need of a chemist . https://www.google.com/maps/@28.4705675,-16.2473615,3a,75y,200.88h,94.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sprkDd6Qe82VTWabzOhqlKg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Not sure if always but on our two weeks we were smack bang outside the Terminal de Cruceros de Tenerife . The new buildings were still fitted out with office and shops but was very handy for the shops /bars over the road .

Yes they were fitting some of the shops out a few weeks ago and putting to let signs up .

I would check in first rather than lug my hand luggage around with me . Once you are checked in go outside on one of the upper decks looking over to the residential apartments and shops. Looking to your left you will see a pedestrian flyover from the port road and see a green flashing cross that belongs to a chemist . Once off board head for the chemist and you will see signs for a Spar shop , I think its the 3rd right turn after the chemist . Very easy to get to from the cruise port 5-10 mins .

Red sky at night yer chip shops alight 😉 Morning 6.c with 3.c feel and raining , looks like it's here for the day so another day chilled out. Have a good day everyone🙂

I forgot how this site works , my brother in law was in the same trade as you and called it a blank ,. Funny how you can call it a stopcock but .. Oh forget it 🤣🤣

A few months ago our next door neighbour had a leak and went for the main stop ***** like a bull in a china shop approach. He came round asking if I had any idea of what he could do ? Turns out he had snapped the pipe below the stop ***** main inlet to their house . He had set off with a small leak in the loft from a pipe above his bedroom . They had no exterior stop tap apart from the one in the street which would switch off 6 houses supply and he could not get any plumbers to come until tomorrow. His Mrs was going mad due to the fine spray under the kitchen sink . I told him as it was the cold supply to fully open his cold tap in his bath and leave it running he said this stopped the upstairs leak and slowed the under sink issue to a little dribble , not ideal but better than a damaged kitchen and bedroom as this had took the pressure away from the leaks. Now he has it repaired have advised him to do what we do and that is to open and shut your stop ***** valve at least once a year rather than leaving it to seize up over the years . I wonder how many of you think to do the same and check it's in working order ?🤔

Nope he dosent sell crumpets 😉

Morning ,it's raining here and 8.c . Mrs K expecting Morrisons van in a while and apart from that ,not a lot . You all take care and have a good day .🙂

Those folk would then be paying a ships medical bill, that does not come cheap .

About 4 week ago we flew out from T2 MCR airport our flight was 6am . We had stayed overnight at a nearby hotel and was at the airport about 3.20am. Upon arrival we found the Jet2 well marked out and checked our cases in for our P&O-Jet 2 flight on the manned desks ,very easy and soon through. Next was a right turn following the signs to security which was very fast , I would say less than ten minutes .We then walked through the shops where all the booze and smelly's were. We made our way upstairs and got a early morning cuppa and a sarnie sandwich . Think the venue was called Apiary? They brought the food/drinks to your table . After this we just had a wander about until the gate number came up on the departures board. We had been warned that the flight would be a good ten minute walk down into the new departure gates , our gate was a back track past the back of security and in this area all there is was a set of WC's and a vending machine , other than that just departure gates . Overall we found it easy but we were on one of the first flights .so no massive crowds .. Hope this helps .

Took my Mrs on the ones in Gib and Madeira and she was not amused 🤣

Morning 7.c and very dull looking morning but later off to see our great granddaughter so she should brighten our day up🙂 @Peanut006 Hope you get things sorted today with your mum's ability getting around . At least she's eating even if it's only porridge and ice cream at the moment . Good luck .I think the hozzie will sort her for you.🙂 Take care everyone😃
