Great photo's of Madeira ,same as others have said it's a place we love as well. My favourite bite to eat was steak prego caco de bolo , Madeira's answer to a burger but better 😋 We liked the cafe opposite where the cruise ships docked . Nice memories . Obrigado Sarah !

Well that's excellent news and I imagine a great weight off your shoulders ! I bet that put a smile on your face 😀 Pleased for you ...Take care Michelle🙂

Morning 🙂 a pleasant 16.c here at the moment , expecting another 11.c on top of that later through the day . Looks like summer is back for a day . Hope you all have a good one 😀

I used to work as a programmer for autocorrect... but the bus fried me for no raisin. I told him to go burn in hail. I also found out that the inventor of autocorrect died last beak, his funnel will be held tomato in a lurch .Should you attend please do not bring any powers with you .🙃

First I am on a note book /laptop . Click to save picture to desk top On saved picture (Right click) and select open with options > select paint ... I can now rotate photo left or right Once done top left corner select file Chose save as J Peg photo and save /replace to desktop .. tip .. Always leave a few spaces between your writing and photo . If your on a phone then someone like Graham may help you with the phones edit system .

Such a lovely Granddaughter Brian ,very cute . Spun the photo so she looks even better ,if that's possible 😀

Thanks for the heads up Bob .I keep meaning to look into this as I do have Nationwide account but not Flexi plus at the moment . Same as you this is not my main bank , use this one for when we are off cruising so would make sense to put travel insurance their as well ,if cheaper . With the curse of the C lockup and medical issues ,my account ended up locked out and needed a new bank card that had expired anyway . So just be aware to use the card it at least once a year even if its just a balance check. Did you have to open your flexi account before you got your insurance quote Bob ? Our insurance is running until beginning of next year ,so have put a reminder in my phone .

After all that running around for Mrs K this morning ,up off and out before 7 am . I thought it was only right that rather than start cooking ,we could go out for a meal ,so the pub lunch beckoned, so she could relax. Mrs K had the lasagne/garlic bread and chips, me I went for a turkey and beef carvery with all the trimmings . The serving utensils were that hot you could barley hold onto them. By the time I sat down to heat my hands must have been glowing . Soon to be followed by my nose as I had opted for a good dollop of English mustard ! Now to say this one was keen , it was like having two red hot pokers stuffed up your nose ,that met somewhere in your eyeballs ! I didn't do any photos as we all know what a carvery looks like and knowing you lot, would have preferred to see me suffering ,with what felt like my nose on fire . Still mustn't complain though as that is my idea of very fine dining 🙃 Bone Apple Teeth 🙂

Cheers !🙂 Then people wonder how us older people get confused . Granddaughter spends best part of her life telling me .. "She loves me and I'm a great grandad " and years later .... "She loves me and I'm going to be a great grandad " Wish the woman would make her mind up 😆

Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes . A Quick update the baby through the scan is now weighing 4lb 8oz in old money . Just amazes me how they take all these measurements with 8 weeks to go apart from that all is good .

Yes ,22 years ago I was holding our grand daughter and now .. Came as a pleasant surprise when she told me I was going to be a great grandad !

Morning ,hope everyone's ok 🙂 A bit cool this morning 11.c here but dry. I'm home alone this morning as Mrs K was up off and out taking eldest Granddaughter to the Hozzie for a scan of our Great grandkid to be in a couple of months 🙂 The mum to be is faring well but her Pre-eclampsia ?? reading was rising but I'm sure the Hozzie staff will be on top of that at this stage of play. This scan will tell us her weight and lots of other things they can work out from it . Medical science is mind bending these days ,I was reading an article about research at Porton Down and how they are preparing base vaccines for infections that do not even exist yet 😲 I think my Mam was a pioneer of this sort of thing , as a kid she would say .. "Before you even think about it ,don't do it or you will end up with a smack laddie ." How the hell did she know what I was going to do before I did ?? Well that cuppa and toast won't make itself ! Have a good day -Take care 😀

Great to read your having a great time Damian . I wonder how many people who say they would never be seen in the buffet were queueing in the Meridian ( buffet ?) 🙃😉🤣 Take care and enjoy your cruise 😀

That 2nd penalty of theirs should re enter Earths atmosphere sometime later today 🙃

Nice bright sunny morning here 14.c .The only thing spoiling it for me as the news that a young nurse in our area has had her car stolen in the early hours. Nowt special just a cheap runabout . I just hope these lowlifes who rather than find a job ,will one day need the services of the nurse ! Any way time for my tea and toast and watch our England ladies who have just kicked off . Have a good day everyone 🙂

Swapping Cabins (again ) 🤣

Going on your own form ,may I suggest Calamity Cruisers 😉🙃😀

Broken cloud (sounds like name of a race horse😉) with bright sunshine 13 but will hit around 17.c .Expecting rain showers this evening .

Nice one , lets not forget the lad who did the hard work, Dutch Decoy ! Hope he's snug in his stable and look forward to seeing him run next time at York ?? 🙂

You had a bit of Yorkshire rain and today they got a tad more ... https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-08-05/car-submerged-underwater-and-roads-flooded-as-storm-hits-parts-of-coastline

We sailed with Fred on Boudica for a one night to sample what they could impress us with . Once upon realising we were new to Fred we were instructed to stand back as we will be the last on board .This also went for a Beatles tribute band ,in the end an officer came off the ship and ordered them to let them board with all their gear . On a good point they did a cracking Sunday dinner and disembarkation was good . Loved the actual ship but ,sadly Fred was not for us .

Oh they are and as I got older I have found there are only 3 shops I need in my life. Specsavers, Boots and Greggs...... My life is just full of Specs, Drugs and Sausage rolls.🙃😉🙃

Put em in your case they will arrive at your room .

Have a great cruise Looking a bit murky this morning down there .
