Britboys Posted May 28, 2023 #46278 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Well, as someone included in the LGBT+ 'Community', I must say that I've never heard of Prism events or Club Soda. Probably just too old or too busy getting on with life. I have deliberately left out the 'Q' in the abbreviations above. Whilst the political young guns have 'reclaimed' the word Queer, many of us older folk still have painful memories of growing up different and being called "dirty queers'. Think I'm definitely too old for activism these days but grateful to my peers who campaigned long and hard over the years. Woke is actually a good thing but the uber politically correct have given it a bad name. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnonotmeagain Posted May 28, 2023 #46279 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This is my view today, not quite P&O, mainly because I have to cook! But on the plus side, no queues 😜 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted May 28, 2023 #46281 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Just about to leave Stavanger. Having a great time so far and should not have worried. Have taken loads of aft photos for when we get back for you Sarah. Really no idea what the negative fuss has been about 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted May 28, 2023 #46282 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Yesterday when we left Iona we headed to Henley on Thames and spent the day there including a river cruise! Glorious weather. Love the place. We've been before. We also had cheese and charcuterie platters and matched wines from the owner Some images below 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted May 28, 2023 #46283 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Then last night we headed for Marlow which we know is lovely and that Chris Evans lives there. Anyway we bought some fish and chips and sat next to the river to eat them (I was keeping my eye out for Chris Evans walking by! Lol) No sight of him. But then someone walked past and I recognised his voice. Ricky Gervais walked by with his wife!! Lol There's a photo of him below from behind. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted May 28, 2023 #46284 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Good evening. We had a nice church service this morning then parked up at the beach for several hours. It was a lot cooler today but still nice in the sun. I hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted May 28, 2023 #46287 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Today we went to Bletchley Park I imagine lots of you have visited already? If not please do not hesitate Absolutely brilliant. Our tickets allow us to return multiple times each year And we will need to as half a day wasn't enough to take it all in What a story and what heroes they all were in their own way 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted May 28, 2023 #46289 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Two days of working in the garden, all borders weeded, winter bedding removed from planters and baskets, new summer bedding installed. A dozen dwarf French Bean plants planted, started planting up borders, but this afternoon I called it a day, my brain still thinks I am 40, but body says, “no mate, you are 70” 🤷♂️ Tomorrow I will return to mow lawn and continue planting but at a slower pace. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain thinks I am 17 some days but then something happens that resets it back to 70, usually one of my younger family members suggesting something stupid like going for a bike ride along a route that isn't flat. I keep saying that we need to get rid of our bikes since we just leave them hanging on the garage wall for 50 weeks of the year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted May 29, 2023 #46294 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Morning everyone. A lovely bright sunny start to the day. I got home yesterday afternoon after my cruise. A busy day, first off today I have a MRI appointment at 8.15 in Truro so have to be there by 8 and then it's a trip to Tescos, I also need to work out how I'm going to get to the hospital in Plymouth tomorrow, so it's straight back to reality! Hope you all enjoy the Bank Holiday. Pam 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a lovely day again here and the days ahead look great too. We have grandchildren arriving tomorrow and staying overnight and the next day too so grandad has been putting up the hot tub(only inflatable one) for them as they love it. Just gardening, dog walking plus a trip to Tesco today for us. Have a nice day everyone Michelle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted May 29, 2023 #46298 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Another lovely day but a little cool at the moment. The only thing left to do today is a trip to the farm shop when I can work up the enthusiasm to go out. DH suggested that we could go to Cheshire Oaks for a bit of shopping. I can't imagine a worse place to go on a bank holiday or during school holidays. I would rather go midweek when people are at work and children are in school so that was a big NO from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate is about 4 miles from Knaresborough and much better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted May 29, 2023 #46300 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Morning from Nordfjord something or other. We we aren't there yet as we were delayed due to a medical emergency and boppy seas. Pouring down and low cloud ... anyone know if they'll make us go up the sky lift? Have brought 2 large cases but not thought about a hat and gloves. There's snow up in those mountains !!!! Ps NO comments about the weather at home accepted!! 😉 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
