purplesea Posted April 1, 2023 #44401 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Good morning, everyone from a wet and windy Cornwall! I hope you have all weathered the storm without any damage. I'm off to Exeter shortly for a visit to a craft fair, so hopefully the roads won't be too bad. Hope everyone has a good weekend and stay safe.

kalos Posted April 1, 2023 #44406 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Morning ,hope everyone is feeling good on this day 1st of April 🙃 But is it ? How do we know that March does not have 32 days ? Trust no one ,I got a final demand for the electric bill this morning ,nice try I put it in the bin with the others as I know they will write again . I once thought chiropractors were a big hoax, but I do stand corrected. They don't catch me out that easy . Once in London as I was walking along a guy came up to me and asked " What's the best way to get to Selfridges ?" So I told him to open an E-Bay account and put plenty of pictures of them on it 😉 Have good day 🙂 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I like that one they put on their P&O website on certain cruises . For select you give them a further £800 and as way of thank you they will give you £360 back to spend as onboard credit 🤔 I wouldn't mind but the cruise is not even in April ! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor Posted April 1, 2023 #44415 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Mixture of blues skies and overcast here in Bolton.

Adawn47 Posted April 1, 2023 #44416 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Morning all. Well our grandson's wedding went beautifully yesterday, despite the dreary damp weather. The usual hiccups occured, David forgetting his name and the ring not going on easily, but it was all to be expected. We didn't go to the reception afterwards as Frank was struggling with his back and hips, but he was determined to go to the wedding regardless. They've sent us plenty of photos and videos, so we didn't miss out. They fly to Cyprus tomorrow for their honeymoon. I can't help but recall a long conversation I had with him some 15 years ago when all his friends were getting married and he thought he would never find anyone. I told him then that he would have to patient, that the right one is out there. Now some of his friends are into their second marriages and he, at 38 has married for the first time, and I have never seen him happier. He took me to one side and said 'I'm glad I listened to you Gran, and waited until I was certain'. Avril 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgoggins Posted April 1, 2023 #44419 Share Posted April 1, 2023 4 hours ago, Harry Peterson said: Safely back now I see - I hope the trip was OK and that you have a good onward journey home. We self-disembarked at 6.30, drove off at 7.50 and were home in West Lancs for 10.35 - a record for us. And yes, the cruise was good thanks, but we belong to the ‘never had a bad one’ group. The Captain told us that the ship had behaved magnificently as it always does during the ‘challenging’ (Bay of Biscay) conditions, and that it would begin to calm by mid afternoon yesterday, which it did. Stugeron (and staying midship) kept me well as you predicted Harry 👍 There was much to admire about the ship, but it’s not for us, so we are very unlikely to sail on Iona again, but it delivered the winter sun we wanted in comfort and without the need to trouble an airport - result! 😄 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted April 1, 2023 #44421 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Because I fell for Brian's one when my daughter said she had bought some miniature goats etc I didn't fall for it again! I love the one about West Ham and Gunners badge. I had 120 seedings to plant, time is marching on but the weather hasn't been kind. Anyway OH said why didn't I just do half an hour. Love him, he prepared everything and I wrapped up. I didn't want to do it but once I got into it I didn't want to stop and did them all. A nice hot drink now called for. Its so frustrating now with my mobility I can't arrange things and get stuff out of the shed, but there is always an upside. I can't clear and sweep up either!🤣 Edited April 1, 2023 by indiana123 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted April 1, 2023 #44422 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I know this isn't the correct thread, but out of interest, the queue for CPS parking at Mayflower today, was horrendous. I used Parking4cruises, and was in and out in five minutes, but the queue for CPS was at least 60 cars long. Admittedly this was right when boarding started, so I suppose the lesson is not to turn up early with CPS. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years younger, but a very contented bachelor who’d just never found the right long term partner. And the ring didn’t go on easily. Covid changed all that. Online dating, the perfect partner, meals cooked and eaten together via Zoom, just one meeting before lockdowns hit, but so very right for both of them. Nightmare house hunting in Derbyshire for a location they could both get to work from, at the worst possible time, then the wedding just afterwards, and now a baby son. What a change in lifestyle for a man who swore he’d never have children or a dog. The dog’s on the way as soon as it’s safe! I couldn’t go to the wedding for health reasons unfortunately (saw them outside after the ceremony though) but my wife did and isolated afterwards with our daughter and her family until Boxing Day. Absolutely made 2021, despite all the other stuff going on. And little Alex has made 2023, despite a horrendous delivery which went very badly wrong. He’s fine, and so is his Mum - now. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The course of true love never runs smoothly, so the saying goes. You know Harry, you have me thinking about age, and I was half David's age when I got married. I was 3 months shy of my 18th birthday and Frank was 19. It's strange now that I think about it and the advice I gave to David. Which means even though the right one is out there, some are lucky and find the right one sooner. Avril 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
