grapau27 Posted July 18, 2023 #47827 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Good morning. It is 16°C and just starting to rain here. Nothing much planned for today except posting and reading cruise critic,watching TV and reading my cruise brochures. Currently 6 P&O cruises booked for the next 2 years. Although we are high loyalty on Princess (Elite) and Royal Caribbean (Diamond plus) P&O sailing from Southampton suits us. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who is unwell. I hope everyone has a nice day.

The turkey was served on a bed of "Brussel Sprout purée!" We've not been back... Dread to think of Christmas Dinner covered by a "Roast potato jus" or to finish with "Cream and Clotted Christmas pudding!" 🥺 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted July 18, 2023 #47830 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Regarding the temperatures in Greece etc. we lived for a few months in West Africa many years ago, when aircon was not known there, and the temperature was around 45 to 48 each day; really draining and we lost weight at a time when we were slim enough already. So delighted not to be there nowadays. It is a shame for those of us who have gone on holiday to Southern Europe at present, hoping to sit on a beach or visit interesting places. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted July 18, 2023 #47831 Share Posted July 18, 2023 17c here and overcast forecast of rain later. We’re meeting up at lunchtime with a couple that we met on our South America cruise and tour in February. They live on a canal boat and are travelling through our local town today. 🤞 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I enjoy the summer sports more simply because they are in the summer; football always makes me think of cold gloomy months which seem to go on for ever. November - because that's what the weather feels like to me at the moment. Cold, wet and dreary. I see your point lincslady, but just because they're 'summer sports' it doesn't mean we get the summer weather.😉 Avril 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut006 Posted July 18, 2023 #47835 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. It’s a dull cloudy day here and it feels a bit cooler. Just dropped my daughter’s dog at the groomers. My son is visiting today, along with my mum we are going to Miller & Carter for lunch which I am looking forward to. Earlier this year I had surgery and from pathology tests i have been told they have found breast cancer. Seeing the Oncologist next Thursday to see what further treatment I need as they managed to remove a small tumor. To make matters worse our elderly dog was diagnosed with cancer last week and has been put on palliative care as they can’t remove it.

So sorry to hear this Michelle but glad your getting treatment asap. We had a nasty shock last year when S I L had the same bad news . She has finished treatment and just goes for check ups now and is fine . She jokes with us she got a tiny pinhead sized tattoo so they know whereto check.🙂 Best wishes with your treatment and give the dog an extra hug from us . 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 4 booked over the next 18 months and there may be late additions I have a friend who is a multi millionaire, he won't spend a penny unless he has to, I keep telling him you can't take it with you. He sold his business a few years ago and now pops in and out of his son"s business. Each to their own. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend had the same diagnosis and after treatment she is, 30 years later, still cancer free. I hope all goes well for you next Thursday and the outcome encouraging. It is so sad about your dog, and that nothing can be done. You can console yourself in knowing that he has had a long and happy, life full of love. Have a good day with your Mum and son and take care. x Avril Edited July 18, 2023 by Adawn47 spelling 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week later I collapsed at home and broke my femur around the new joint. So currently on week 3 of bedrest in hospital while they work out why I passed out and what to do with the bone Not sure if you're reading these posts Sharon . Hope your on the mend and getting better. Take care 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
