Well... it seems that my new step-kitty (Toffee) isn't a peaceful "character".... constant fights between her and the other two.... My friend is at wit's end. b78d5f35-1d60-4f73-8a31-8eb3d39afdd9.MP4

I miss him too ( @Jimbo ) and I miss many others who used to post more frequently, but I've decided some time ago not to reach out anymore (unless someone else does it). That's life... circumstances change.

I've reached out to our friend Jim ( @Jimbo ). He and Donna are OK, just taking a break from posting 🌹

@derorim Same here, Joy 😢

Happy 33rd wedding anniversary to you and Shelagh 🌺💐🥂

Marian, + 1 👍 @helen haywood

All the Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers series. Highly recommend Nora Roberts [aka J.D. Robb] "in death" series.

Same here. In Romania there were no oranges, few "Jaffa" import arrived and I had the chance to eat one or two. When we emigrated to Israel, I was sent to an agricultural school, which had facilities to teach Hebrew to the newly arrived and also we had to work a few hours a day. I was assigned to an orange grove [and then "promoted" to milking cows....] and discovered the taste of an orange "right of the shelf" 😉 Very difficult now to find fresh oranges, which didn't spent some time in a refrigeration facility...

Another vote for buying tickets to Oia when you get off the tender. It was 25 Euro pp in 2014.... In 2022 we had lots of OBC to splurge, and took the ship's transfer -- tender to Athinios port, bus up from there to Oia, free time in Oia and then bus to Fira included. In Oia the guide gave us vouchers to the cable car and we still had to wait in line to exchange the vouchers for real tickets. 55$ pp !! I recommend getting in line to the cable car between one hour and a half and 2 hours before "all aboard".

I should arrive 3-4 days before the cruise (if you're not retired....) Even when flying business class, it takes time to adjust. Better to start the cruise without jet-lag. I've seen reports that it's cheaper to use air/sea package when returning from another port of embarkation (i.e., Barcelona to Rome). Many reputable companies to do private excursions, especially in Italy. I'd go through Royal only if you'd like to visit Capri (via ferry) for example.

I should have written it "Toffee" ... Sounds the same 😉 So now we have Sushi (male Siamese) and Lychee + Toffee (both British females) 😎

An updated pic of my newest [step]kitty (3rd try -- finally named Tofi...). She seems like a 2nd cousin to OB's Jade ( @Ocean Boy)

Oh, Graham, the food.... my mouth is watering. Thank you. .... and Pauline looks so dashing with her broad hat xx

Looks amazing 😘

Glad to hear Charlie is doing better, and you made it to AC. We're holding up, barely. I'm at loss of words to describe the sheer fear we feel when our "leader" has the "chutzpah" to shame our only staunch ally -- the US. A war in the north will be ten fold more destructive than the one which is still going on.

@DaniDanielle Marietta, how is Charlie? 😘

@George C A very happy birthday wished to you, George. Have a wonderful celebration, in style 🥂

+ 1 Karen, wishing you a swift and complete recovery ((( )) @Keksie

+ 2 (or 3 or 4 😉 ) 🌺💐🥂 Debbie @Sunshine3601

My childhood in Romania included them filled with mashed potatoes, served with a copious side of fried onions….
