I just hope those who are coming home are not stuck in the airport enduring delays caused by the computer system failure at the flight control centre that is causing chaos according to media reports.

Thanks

Does anybody know whether the golf simulator is still on the top deck of Aurora alongside the nets?

We’re on her in November, first cruise for nearly 5 years so those of you on her between now and then, please leave her in the good shape that you find her in.

After some brilliant displays at yesterday’s Rhyl air show, including the amazing Red Arrows, today is cold wet and windy which doesn’t bode well for day 2. At least there may be fewer empties to take to recycle if it doesn’t brighten up a bit.

The problem is that even though I have similar memories from the 60s and early 70s, such phrases have gone through my head and possibly out of my mouth a generation later.

The cost of our Aurora cruise in November is still showing much more than we paid for an early booking. No refunds for us I guess. ☹️

So glad you had a nice day. Happy anniversary to you both.

Well done but make sure you don’t aggravate your ‘bowlers shoulder’, especially if it is on the side you hold your wine glass.

Not wishing to be controversial here but I do think there is a lot of viewing through rose tinted spectacles going on. I enjoy watching football and will be going to a game this afternoon. It is quite true that there are aspects of the men’s game that do the players little credit but they also appear to exist in the women’s game as well. Some players seem to fall over easily as in the men’s game and time wasting exists in both men’s and women’s football. Have we forgotten the England player deliberately treading on an opponent while she was on the ground? I have no problem at all with women playing football but comparisons with the men’s game are not helpful.

You can count us in (depending on the date). Perhaps we could share a taxi.

Actually not too bad because my vision has hardly changed so I have kept my current glasses. As for Mrs Pete, no such luck 😱

That is an option we have used before but there always seems to be a cunning offer that means you have to pay more.

We use Vision Express for convenience. I have asked them about whether they have a collection point for unused glasses but they no longer do it. I think Specsavers are the same but if anyone knows different, I am sure they will let us know. There must be millions of pairs of unused glasses throughout the country that could help those who may need them. The buy one, get one free or heavily reduced offers that opticians promote doesn’t help in this respect.

I think if your self seeded sycamore has managed to grow in your jungle, it deserves to stay at home. Our collection is complete. Enjoy your lazy day tomorrow, we are having our eyes tested which will almost certainly mean new glasses. Just a pity they don’t take old ones in part exchange.

Sounds like great service. Booking an appointment by the app allows you to choose the most appropriate person for your needs rather than receptionist choosing for you. Not sure which is best.

Perhaps you live in an healthy part of the city. Our surgery is pretty good though and highly rated. You can book appointments online via the NHS app which is quite useful.

Not the dreaded ‘bowler’s shoulder’? Like tennis elbow but somewhere else.

There is a slight resemblance to the picture in the papers. Hold the front page!

Watch out for the ‘Smallthorne big cat’ that has been in the news over the last day or two. Who knows where it may be hiding until the publicity has passed?

You hold have brought the cat up to meet Charlie 😊 On second thoughts, probably best you didn’t.

A glorious sunny day here in North Wales. Charlie has had his walk and breakfast and I think I need a lie down now. Drinks with the Prestos in the beer / wine / cocktails garden later so it will probably have clouded over by then.

22,601 at Stoke and I was the one! 🫣 It will be interesting to see what they are on the last day of the season.

I agree with you Graham. The only teams who will object will be those whose players are not fit enough to play another ten minutes or those whose debatable tactics are responsible for bringing this about. Neither should be listened to. A certain team in a north Staffordshire scored two goals on Saturday in the seven scheduled minutes added time to the first half which turned out to be nine minutes. Last season, no more two minutes would have been added.

Any footie fans may appreciate Stoke’s first goal if you can find a video of it.
