We got very close to this beauty, very impressive. Then again, give me any ship at the minute... Andy We looked at a cruise on the scarlet lady but concluded it was not for us, aimed at a younger demographic I suspect. The ship looks nice though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Tattoos on a moving ships could be a problem…….. (in addition to just being ugly IMO). Fine on young taught skin, not so good when wrinkles and fat are added into the mix - but each to their own. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it could have been worse I could have done a jean and broke my hip. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh dear, I hope you recover quickly....

grapau27 Posted July 5, 2021 #23232 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It is currently a sunny 18°F. We went to the beach this morning then went to the local garden centre. We have been sitting in the garden for about 3 hours. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ventured into town last week, thought it would be alright to wander around the open market, not a bit of it. It was like free for all, and not a mask in sight, so I came straight home. I'm not depressed as such, just bored and fed up of the same mundane day to day routine, with no definite end in sight. The catalyst was the cancellation of yet another cruise, but looking at the forecast for Norway now, the weather's just as bad there, so we're not missing much😉 On the plus side though, we have a semi final to look forward to, so life can't be that bad, now can it?😊 You and Michelle take care Avril xx I’m glad you’re not too bad Avril. That sounds like my January and February. I must admit most of the places I go mask wearing if pretty high. I moan about my job sometimes but at least it gives me a reason to get up each day! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted July 5, 2021 #23238 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) I have a bit of food porn for you! My sister took us to a lovely huge pub that looked like a barn. Beautiful garden if only it wasn’t so windy! I had beef burgionion which I shall add in a minute as I took the photo on my phone and I’m typing this on my iPad and the photos haven’t loaded onto the iPad yet 🙄 Don’t you love technology! We had a tour of their house and garden, lunch out and then had a very windy walk along the seafront and pier ! Just about dodged the showers, it was a good day.

Rare P&O SUE Posted July 5, 2021 #23240 Share Posted July 5, 2021 John and I had a lovely couple of hours in Herne Bay today. Weather was much better than predicted, was really warm in the sunshine.

Snow Hill Posted July 5, 2021 #23241 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Well the hope that I would see my daughter and granddaughters this coming birthday weekend appeared to have been scuppered. My daughter was self isolating due to two of the children in the case she teaches returning a positive test, at the time of Father’s Day, so didn’t see her then, came out of isolation on then to have the bubble youngest daughter having to isolate due to a separate case. She was due out of self isolation on Thursday, but this afternoon my eldest granddaughter has had to have a PCR test as a number in her year have gone down with the variant, the school has now been closed until next Tuesday. Hoping that my granddaughter tests negative. Last night we started to think about what to do for my 70th Birthday next year, so far on the list is a Med Cruise, a trip to Newfoundland and Quebec in Canada, where my wife lived for 8 years, a holiday in Tuscany or a Caribbean Cruise. Next task is to price them up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean out the garage, trip to the tip, into the building society. Take away baguette From Gregg's and then sat in the deckchairs in the town square watching the tennis on the open air big screen. Supermarket . Jobs done.🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted July 5, 2021 #23243 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Been at work all day, and had a 7 am start so am just catching up now. Sorry to hear you've broken your arm Delgirl, hope it heals quickly and you're not in too much pain. Happy Birthday to Michelle, hope you're enjoying your day. We have had a dull overcast day, and it's now not stopping to rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not keen either Graham, a friend of mine had a humming bird on her bum when she was 16, now she is nearly 60 and it looks like a Pterodactyl. 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew... 😊 Michelle hasn't been out much since before the first lockdown so by the time we had seen the Mary Rose, been on Victory, had some lunch and did the boat trip, that was enough for one day. I'm sure we will be back there soon. Andy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
