The Daily for Saturday Apr 17, 2021

[rafinmd]

I looked up Ulvik in Cruisetimetables.  No HAL (or US oriented ships headed there through 2022 but visits are scheduled for Amera (Prinsendam) and Borelis (nee Rotterdam) in 2022.

Thanks for that information, Roy.  That really cuts down the chances I will ever see that port.  But...you never know, do you?  Could happen.

I originally made up the list of ports by taking the "Ports" pull down from HAL's planner. I checked and it is no longer there. Must have been a change in plans.

That's too bad.  🙁

In these times there may well be some ports where HAL plans to return but not in the immediate future.

Good afternoon.  Another beautiful day on the Oregon coast.  Fog is trying to come in but the east wind keeps sending it back out.

I recorded the funeral of Prince Phillip.  Will watch it later.  My sister watched it and enjoyed the music.

Always appreciate my DH.  Bats are very interesting and fascinating little creatures.

Hope everyone's weekend is going well.  Prayers to all and toasts to those celebrating.

Stay safe!

Or they may not be able to with the smaller ships mostly gone?

I've kind of stayed away from the Daily today because I'm so freaked out by bats. 🦇   I do know they have merits, but...

We had a wooded home in Idaho and bats were a real problem.  We liked sitting in the hot tub at sundown with a nice Drink of the Day, and I always wore a broad-brimmed hat so they wouldn't swoop on me.  Seriously.  😂🤣

 

Have a lovely evening, All.  Spring is in the air.  💚

Thank you for the Daily and the lists. Blessings to all.

Be well. Stay safe.

Thank you to Rich for the Daily and to Roy for the lists,.

Have been watching a delayed broadcast of the funeral, feel so very sorry for the Queen, so sad that no one could sit beside her.

Take care everyone.

Thank you to everyone for the Daily community. Also watched the funeral for Prince Phillip this morning. It was a beautiful service and my heart broke for Queen Elizabeth II. 

 

I appreciate DH (and have for 44 years). We've had our share of medical issues for him but he just keeps going and will be 81 next month. I asked him if he had anything he wanted to do today and his response was "Survive and enjoy the Earth." I never know what is going to come out of him! 

We had a gorgeous day in the Pacific Northwest with temps in the mid 70's, blue skies and no clouds - and it's only mid-April.

We should all try to do that every day!

[luvteaching]

I agree. He has memory issues (I call it a stroke-addled brain) but is very observant of the world around him. In many ways he's seeing it for the first time. He'll see the little things - a butterfly, a bird, etc. that I'll miss. It makes for a fun and interesting partnership. We were driving down a road the other day and I mentioned that he'd been down it a few months before but in the opposite direction. His response "You could have taken me down it yesterday and I wouldn't remember but it's all good."

Good morning.  Late to the thread today.  No Juggler's or Newspaper Columnists here so we will celebrate Pet Owners day.

The meal sounds good, will look back to see Debbie's recipe.

Never been to Brazil.

Prayers and toasts to our lists.  Didn't hear about the landing at the air show.

Stay safe, social distance, and please wear your mask.
