kalos Posted September 14, 2021 #25109 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Growing old mmm, I suppose so but getting old ..Never I have never been confused thinking that small ships are for the elderly and big ships are for the young .Maybe they are but the young at heart can go on any size ship really . How to tell if your getting old is easy if your getting ready for bed when you used to be getting ready to go out then I suppose your slowing down . There's nothing up with that by the way just follow your dreams . I used to dream of being super rich but now I'm a bit older I'm a bit more realistic . I used to think of winning that lottery Set For Life, the one where you get 30k each month without lifting a finger . If I wanted that I could have got a job as an MP sat in parliament but age and wisdom tells me to forget it .Anyone worried about getting old just remember .. A short nap once in awhile can prevent old age ...( Especially while driving ! So Avoid that one ) and you will be ok . Some young people have been known to walk into a room and forgot what for ! I just went into another room, and I remembered why I went in there Granted, it was the bathroom, but still ... Whatever you age have a good day and keep safe 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Peterson Posted September 14, 2021 #25111 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Annoying that's the end of our pretty good (was) fixed price for the winter! Anyone else with either of these two? Energy suppliers People's Energy and Utility Point have both ceased trading today, affecting more than half a million households. If you're with either firm, your energy supply will continue and credit balances are protected. But DON'T switch now – sit tight and wait until your new supplier has contacted you. Households supplied by People's Energy, which has about 350,000 customers, and Utility Point, which has 220,000 customers, will be transferred to a new supplier, which is yet to be announced. In the meantime, your supply will continue as normal and energy regulator Ofgem says any credit balances will be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in severe pain and we are going nowhere. I imagine he has prolapsed a disc. Poor soul can't even get comfortable in bed. 😪 So sorry to hear that Jean. Hope it improves quickly and fully.

I was pleased and quite surprised to see most people on the train wore masks. We had booked lunch at our favourite London restaurant, The Wolseley, I was quite nervous about eating indoors and worried about how cramped it would be, but I needn't have worried, tables weren't too close and it didnt feel very busy at all. The waiting staff wore masks as did many of the customers walking throught to tables & loos. The food was good, I had the best kedgeree I'd ever had plus a lemon meringe tart. I should have taken my photo after I'd cut into the delicious oozy egg! Jude Law the actor was sat at the table next to ours, it's so hard not to keep looking when you've seen a famous face 😂 Buckingham Palace gardens were lovely, its the first year theyve allowed people to picnic in the grounds and sit on the big lawn. The guided tour of the private garden areas was brief but good too. and fortunately the forecast rain didnt happen! Strangely enough, I was in London on Friday evening with friends at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. As they live on the South Coast, they stayed overnight and were booked in for lunch at the The Wolseley on Saturday! I'm too near London to indulge in overnight stays now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your friends enjoyed it as much as we did. We love it there, it's got a great atmosphere. Was it busy in Regent's Park area? We're only an hours train ride away from London but pre-Covid we quite often stayed overnight if we were going to an evening event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-theatre we ate at Bill's in Baker St, which was pretty quiet. The theatre was quite busy but of course, open air. We lived in Brighton and before my partner died, we often stayed overnight post theatre but now I have moved, I am less than an hour, door-to-door so it would be very indulgent 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The energy thing is a disappointment, nothing more. The money’s perfectly safe, but the new supplier taking over, whoever it is, will almost certainly not match the tariff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1 Posted September 15, 2021 #25124 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi all,we made it back on schedule,5hrs.We met up for dinner with our friends Dawn and Mario who drove over last week and Nick and Elaine from Boston Lincs who are here for a week. A couple of observations,France who I thought were more strict allowed self service breakfast buffets and Italy does not allow it and required covid jab proof at motorway food areas.A friend of Nicks was concerned about him going to Europe and he went to Cornwall and the whole family came back with covid,irony. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tariff has jumped this year after a good deal with EDF last year. I looked at a couple of the new companies but after so many of them have gone bust over the last few years stuck with a 2 year fix with EDF. We are lucky in the fact our energy costs are reasonable because we have good insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
