A nightcap of a Brandy with Ice and a Bailey's with Ice isn't quite the same without the ice. On our Nile cruise the boat made great play of assuring us that the ice was made with mineral water. We still didn't risk it though. Yeah,the bottom of the Nile is full of minerals.I heard the 5 star boats use the mud for spa treatment.The afterglow from the toxic waste is to die for. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours has been swapped to today and will be sometime this morning .No one has put one out as of yet but once they see our bin out and they realise, there will be racing to get them out on the street. That's made me double check our bin collection day, and it's still tomorrow, or so it says on the website. The binmen might think differently though, it has been known🙄 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more concerned about what was floating in the Nile rather than the ‘minerals’ at the bottom. There are lots of theories about the death of Tutankhamen but as far as I know, drinking Nile water or eating Nile Perch (we were served it one night disguised on the menu as sea bass) is surprisingly not one of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ccpm Posted December 23, 2021 #28882 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just waved brother off on a damp grey morning. Off to deliver donations to the group that does the free Xmas lunch for the town. Can't go help as arthritis precludes being on my feet for more then 30 minutes at present. Town will be rammed so back home smartish to settle in for Xmas. I know a lot of folks would be horrified at the though of Xmas alone but I honestly don't mind at all. I've done the go to Brothers and I was grateful but so many people, I have done a Xmas cruise not my thing either so tried home alone and found I like it. So Happy Christmas to you all, best wishes to Graham and may those of you working get through and home asap Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll walk before that and maybe walk to the sorting office to pay £3.50 to retrieve a mystery package. Bet it’s something rubbish - why don’t they tell you who it’s from Just reading an article about the Christmas scammers .Not saying yours is not genuine but to others, just be wary if you get a text link on your phone but no card through the door https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59760326 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted December 23, 2021 #28884 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Useful reminder kalos Ours is fine - Royal Mail card left by the postie We didn’t bother collecting yesterday - it’s being delivered tomorrow. We are prepared to be disappointed 🙂 Nasty, rainy day here. Hopefully it’ll clear up sometime, though our morning walk may have to be rescheduled to the afternoon. We are content watching Big Bash cricket and envying a lovely evening in Adelaide. Christmas gammon is happy slow-cooking in a little cider. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just skim read your post and accidentally read the ‘r’ at the end of ‘brother’ in line 1 as an ‘l’. No offence intended nor taken I hope.

Agreed - the water may taste unpleasant, but it is still safe to drink, which was the point I was making. And you really need to go off the beaten track to find water from an undrinkable source. Somehow I don't think Graham's hotel in Belamadena will have water from a contaminated source , 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian1 Posted December 23, 2021 #28900 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Halfway up our mountain we have the fountain of eternal youth.It's a tap sticking out of a wall with a concrete bus shelter thing built round it.It reduces blood pressure and when you drink a glass looking like Keith Richards you wake up looking like Cliff. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
