Rare puppycanducruise Posted October 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good morning. Love this thread, a great place to start the day. Thanks everyone. It's supposed to be another nice day here, high of 27°C (81°F). Wow, that could be a new record high temperature. A big thank you to custodial workers. I've never named my car. Interesting quote from an interesting person. I haven't had mac and cheese in ages, maybe I should make some today. I hope the drink is good, I love tea. I'm sure I'll like the wine. I've never been to today's port. Prayers for everyone on the Care List. It's still dark, but Bertie wants to go for a walk, hope he can wait a little longer.🤞 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted October 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good morning from a cloudy 57°F North East England. Custodial workers do a great job keeping our schools, hospital's etc clean for us. Pauline has given our cars names. I dislike some people but I don't hold grudges because life is too short for grudges although I know some people hold a grudge against me even after I have been kind and friendly to them. I will give today's food and drink a miss. Prayers 🙏 offered to everyone who is unwell. Take care and stay safe and have a lovely day. Graham. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted October 2, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good morning friends! Well today it is 57F, a nice chill in the air. Later it will be sunny and 81. Sounds good to me! I was tired and overslept about 10 minutes. Late to the treadmill but I'm almost back on schedule now. ⏰ Thank you Rich @richwmn for our Daily and Fleet Report. It's nice that custodial workers have a day of appreciation. This applies to house cleaners, too. Hard work and not a lot of respect offered to them. I have never named a car but I do treat them well! Thank goodness for farm animals. My grandpa had many animals on his farm and it was cool to go visit on weekends and experience the farm life. Elon's quote is so true! I love mac and cheese and had some recently. No thanks to the cocktail or wine. What a great day in American history in 1789. Good old George Washington! Many thanks to our F&B ladies, Debbie @dfish, Dixie @summer slope and Ann @cat shepard for your reports today. Prayers for so many these days. I haven't heard a word since Sunday from friend Susan. I may send her an encouraging text later. Praying for improvement in her DH Scott and her DB Mark. Also my DB with IPF. Praying for a miracle for Baby Murphy and Melisa @HAL Sailer's DH. Also the many DH's under the weather or recovering from surgery/serious illness including @Tbay, @Lady Hudson, @RMLincoln, @mamaofami, and @marshhawk. Hope I haven't left anyone out! Vanessa @JazzyV thank you for the lists and the Public Service Announcement! Three cheers for all our cruisers whether future, present, or past! Congrats to everyone else with good news here. We love good news! The port of the day is Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I love that city! If I had to pick a place in Australia to move to it would be there. We had Brisbane as our destination on Dec. 28. 2021 and Oct. 4, 2022. I'll post the links below and then retrieve my photos. During our two visits there in 2017 we had very enjoyable tours given to us by different Aussie friends. I'll never forget those great days. The links: Last night DS flew home from his latest weekend in Frisco, Texas and he was right on time. He's becoming a regular on American Airlines each Friday afternoon and Sunday night. However this weekend he will be going to South Bend, Indiana to visit Notre Dame with Ren. Unfortunately friend Colton has decided not to visit ND again. He likes Indiana University if he should go to college. I don't think Colton really wants to go to college - he's thinking more along the lines of a pro soccer team player. I wish him very good luck! Have a great Monday everyone! Stay safe and well! Photos coming up in the next two posts from me. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted October 2, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thank you Rich, Vamessa.ebbie, Dixie, and Ann. I certainly appreciate Custodial workers and Farm Animals but have never named a car. A great day in the history of our constitution. I wonder when or if I will get that emergency alert message, perhaps actually on time in Saguenay. Bon Voyage (Wow!) @lindaler, I don't think I've been to Brisbane. Not a fan of Elan Musk but interesting quote. I may end up passing Zuiderdam in the middle of the night. I love Mac and Cheese at home but am unlikely to see it the next 8 days. My alternative is Cherry Bisque, Fillet of Lamb, and Mango Sorbet as served in the Princess Grill last night. The photo will be delayed.

StLouisCruisers Posted October 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My photos from Brisbane. Today's port of Brisbane was one of our favorites. We went twice in 2017 and on one visit a CC friend met us and took us around. The second time there some friends we met on our Seabourn Antarctica cruise met up with us and took us all around the area. My Aussie friends are so, so nice! I warn you, there are many photos! We did a circumnavigation cruise of Australia (on Sun Princess), and I would recommend it to anyone who can make their way to the "Land Down Under". We also docked in the industrial port outside the city and took a shuttle bus to the central business district. A view of downtown from the shuttle bus. The Anzac Square Memorial on Ann Street where the bus dropped us off. My CC friend walked us past the church she was married in. Just around the corner was the Roma Street Parkland which was beautifully groomed. Amazing it was surrounded by so many skyscrapers. I do love visiting gardens! They had a little train to ride on but we preferred to walk. This is the City Hall, which we went inside to take a look. They have the Museum of Brisbane on an upper floor there, which we visited briefly because there was so much to see in the city still. Then we walked through the Queen Street Mall area on our way towards the river. Some art along the way. We walked across the Brisbane River on the Victoria Bridge to the Southbank area. One of the most amazing places in the Southbank area is Streets Beach, Australia's only inner city man-made beach. Isn't it awesome? From Southbank, we took the free ferry back across the river and walked towards our bus pick up point. We saw plenty of old buildings directly in front of the new buildings. We had a wonderful day with my CC friend. Next time we stopped here we would do entirely different things. That will come up next post. 28 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted October 2, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My second visit to Brisbane. After our circumnavigation cruise we sailed on a Tasmania cruise followed by a Papua New Guinea cruise. The PNG cruise included Brisbane on its way back to Sydney. So several weeks later we were picked up at the industrial port, called Fisherman's Island Grain Terminal, by our Seabourn friends. When they asked ahead of time what I wanted to see, I said kangaroos and koalas! The first place we drove to was the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary which had a lot more animals than that! First we saw some lace monitors, water monitors and parentie A dingo taking a nap freshwater crocodiles A wombat And this cagey cassowary. I never could get a good shot of him/her because it shifted around so much. They are considered dangerous! Looking for the kangaroos! Here they are! Time for some koalas! This one was looking at me funny! He doesn't look that comfortable to me. But whatever, buddy! We also saw a Laughing Kookaburra, a Bush Thick-Knee, and the megabats of Australia. These guys are huge! That was it for the koala sanctuary. Onward to our next stop. Which is Mt. Coot-tha Summit Lookout. The city of Brisbane in the distance. We ate lunch here at Kuta Cafe and really enjoyed the view while dining as well as our friends' company. From there we headed to the Brisbane River where one of our hosts dropped his wife and the two of us off for a ferry ride. He met us at the other end. We road for 45 minutes enjoying the great weather, the river and our friend. After we three got off at I believe Hawthorne they drove us back to the ship to say goodbye. What a wonderful day in Brisbane we had! Getting on the Spirit of Brisbane The Hawthorne stop Saying goodbye at the industrial port after a fantastic visit. 31 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted October 2, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thanks for our Monday Daily, Rich and thanks to Debbie, Dixie, Ann & Vanessa. Great collection of days - especially custodial worker & farm animals day. Like @rafinmd I’m not a fan of Musk but his quote is so true. Comfort food is always good. Great day in history for the U.S. We enjoyed Brisbane very much and I would love to return. I think I am about to officially hit panic mode. LOL. Too much to do and so little time. finish my packing, pack up Ivan, clean out fridge, clean, etc. We’ll see how I do. 🤞 Ivan and I are heading over to our neighbours late this afternoon after his walk so she can feed him dinner (and I guess me too), spend some time with him and get him settled. So, I better get stuff done before then and finish his “Care” note. 😉 @lindaler Bon Voyage! Prayers for those on the Care list, those suffering losses, health issues, worries & those that need them 🙏 Cheers to those celebrating and cruising 🥂 Have a great Monday, all. 35 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted October 2, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thank you for today’s FR & D, Rich! It is raining again! Bindi & I got a decent couple of walks in yesterday, but it was still a wet one. Lots of flooding along the roads that run through the state parks that border the Intercoastal. Bindi is fed up with it. Me too. Vanessa, thank you for keeping up with all of us. Gym, Bindi walks, chores, yard work & pool time - weather permitting. Prayers for all who need our support. @smitty34877 Terry, you, Tana, your families and support team are in my prayers. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 that the aide is a keeper & stays. Cheers to all who are celebrating! May we each find a reason to smile today! *********** Château Poitevin Médoc 2019 I used the 2019 vintage info because not only might it be available, I actually found a critic’s review! And if you can find this, or even a more recent vintage, its price makes it an easy one to try. You can always use it for cooking. Available from a decent number of online distributors with prices starting at $12.98. Critic review "The nose offers good definition, concentration and power. There are notes of ripe/fleshy blackcurrant, crushed wild strawberry and, more slightly, cherry, combined with hints of fresh violet, nutmeg, meadow flowers and a discreet touch of torrefaction and pepper. The palate is mineral, fresh and offers juiciness, acidity, fatness, roundness, a good structure and a fine tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy wild blackberry, juicy/pulpy raspberry and, more slightly, violet, combined with touches of racy minerality and hints of toast, cardamom, tonka bean and a subtle hint of nutmeg. The tannins are racy, well-mannered and elegant." - 90 - 91/100, VertdeVin 18 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliaschief Posted October 2, 2023 #24 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good morning. Slept well and woke up to 68 degree temperatures. Our painter arrives at nine so we have emptied both baths in preparation. He thought it would take three days so that will pretty much dictate our week. We took the leftover chicken and made a favorite mango chutney curry chicken dish. So good. So we start our 22 day countdown for our first Seabourn cruise from Montreal to Miami beginning October 23 for 14 days. We have no excursions planned as we have done this itinerary many times. Who needs an excursion when lots of lobsters are available? Time for another cup of coffee and then will get the laundry started. Thanks for the Fleet Report, travel pics and telling us all what’s going on in your lives. Many will be enjoying another cruise. 🛳 We all share a common bond. We love to cruise. Have a great week.

Rare Haljo1935 Posted October 2, 2023 #25 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Custodians and farm animals are deserving of their own day. Life is too short for even short-term grudges. Better to remove the negativity than hold a grudge. Like a good bowl of steaming hot, crispy topped mac & cheese (and the cool weather it's meant for), would try the drinks. Have not been to AU; hope to go (HAL keeps doing their part by offering attractive pricing, but airlines are not). The history day is certainly important to the US. Currently 68° headed to 93°; possible rain 🌧 on Wed and temp under 90 (oh please, Santa, we promiseto be good). Lots of work stuff to get caught up on and a full calendar of "regular" work, so busy day. Have to begin prepping for vacation - only 3.5 weeks away. Definitely heading to Dr today for the URI - I just could not get up yesterday to go, but I think the fever broke. Prayers and positive thoughts for all. 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
