Ilovemygarden Posted January 6 #54179 Share Posted January 6 Thanks everybody. I must confess it is a bit of a trial run as I have already booked the 35 nighter on Iona next January so if Arvia is a disaster I can cancel Iona. Well, that’s my excuse 😀 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted January 6 #54180 Share Posted January 6 Nice to see folks booking holidays🙂 My mate Barry was wary of booking a holiday this year . When he went to Spain 3 years ago his girlfriend fell pregnant . When he went to Italy 2 years ago his girlfriend fell pregnant . When he went to Greece 1 year ago his girlfriend fell pregnant again !!! I managed to convince him things will be fine this year ... If he takes her with him this time 🙃 Enjoy your cruises folks 🙂 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t possibly comment as I have no idea what you might be implying 🤔. Let’s just see who got the best OBC deal! 🍾 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted January 6 #54185 Share Posted January 6 Lots of people with lots of news - lovely that the news is mostly, if not totally, good i have no real news, except that it is a nice, dry, sunny if chilly, day, and, believe it or not, this time next week I shall be on a cruise! 3 years and 50 weeks since we disembarked Ventura early February 2020. Looking forward with a little bit of trepidation - Iona seems a bit *enormous* I’ll try to do a (semi) live blog - but that’s for the future. I’m still vaguely waiting for whatever emergency will prevent us joining the ship … and I always thought I was a glass-half-full person 🫤 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll be well into the swing of things before the rest of us embark then. 😀 Maybe we shouldn’t joke about the ducks - lots of them not too far south of you seem having a really hard time this weekend. Hope things dry out soon for those affected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there used to be two competing things were always much cheaper. May encourage me to do some shorter cruises and just fly down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted January 7 #54193 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Good morning everyone. Another cold, damp day here. I was woken just after 3am by a barking dog somewhere nearby. At least being up so early means that I have been able to put lamb shanks and vegetables in the slow cooker to be ready for lunch.

kalos Posted January 7 #54194 Share Posted January 7 Good morning a dull 2.c here ,so a day for doing very little apart from staying snug and warm. Whatever your doing have a great day . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted January 7 #54195 Share Posted January 7 An evening meal out with a former work colleague of my wife’s last night, they are have finalised their move to France and leave on Tuesday to start their new life there with their 2 children. We wished them well and will pop into see them when we are in France later this year. She has a French mother and her husband's grandfather was Spanish, so they have used those connections to make the move. Both have got jobs in France that they will commence in February so we hope everything goes well for them. We had hoped to retire to France, but unfortunately that wasn’t possible in the end. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted January 7 #54196 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Good morning. It is 3°C and clear now after raining all day and night yesterday. Today is my late mam and dad's 74th wedding anniversary. I hope everyone is well and have a good day. Edited January 7 by grapau27 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted January 7 #54197 Share Posted January 7 Morning everyone, how are you all? A nice bright sunny day, but cold 3c and a frost on the cars. A complete contrast of the last couple of days where it's been above the average for this time of year, about 13c, to below average. Shouldn't complain as it makes a nice change to see the sun after all the wet and windy weather that we've had. Planning on having a day sewing today but other than that have nothing else planned, apart from cooking dinner later and staying in, in the warm. Have a good Sunday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted January 7 #54198 Share Posted January 7 Morning. Dull and damp here too and a very pleasant 2c😬 Just having a quiet coffee before the taxi comes at 10.40am and I stay until 6pm. Long days I know, but we are missing each other so much. The visiting hours are 9am - 9pm so they don't mind. I get a coffee and a sandwich from Costa downstairs and then sit and have lunch together. We probably won't learn anything about test results, treatment, discharge etc until tomorrow so have to be patient. Frank's looking and feeling better(and slimmer) so everything crossed🤞 I've lost 12lb over the last 10 days, I know I wanted to lose some weight but there are better ways🙄 Have a good day everyone and keep warm. x Avril 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the weather is good for our expidition to St Ives in June. We are starting to stock up on food for the Seagulls. It saves the locals a job.🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
