  1. My DD used to work for VV gyms and she noticed via social media that quite a few of her former work colleagues were on the same cruise that I was on. Pure speculation but it’s possible that Virgin gym staff were also offered cruise discounts/freebies.
  2. Winter starts 1st June. Winter solstice is on the 24th June this year for us. It “usually” feels winterish here mid July. Our shops will start stocking autumn/winter gear next week.
  3. Good morning. It’s the last day of Summer in Australia. Going out with a hot one in Sydney, expecting 35C/95f with a storm moving through in the the evening to cool things down.
  4. I don’t know if you are on fb but community pages always have posts about packing boxes. People who have just moved in and want to give theirs away free…. Same with your comics. Might be a group online that can recommend you someone reputable and how much you should expect
  5. @ringers0815 thank you for posting your beautiful photos in this thread. @CSHS1979 thanks also for posting all your and J’s beautiful photos.from your tour.
  6. @1Rosco1 sorry to read that you got cancelled threes times especially your upcoming trip via Singapore.
  7. Dad has been very slow to embrace mobility aids etc. I bought him a proper shower seat recently after he asked me for a plastic stool for the bathroom and he admitted that it is the best thing for stability in the shower. Had dinner with a group of 4 girlfriends on Friday night that I have been dining with regularly for over 15 years. We couldn’t get a table in the usual big dining area downstairs so for the first time ever we headed upstairs to the trendy bar area where they have low tables and low lounge chairs, share plates and cocktails. We had a lovely evening but when it was time to leave, we all got up from those low loungers and all four of us groaned in unison 😂 age has caught up with us.
  8. The last time I fainted was many years ago. I had a very heavy cold (this was a very long time before the pandemic btw) and I took my DD to the specialist at the hospital to have her cast removed. A combo of not feeling 💯, seeing the scisssors and the smell. I fainted. Oops. We had to get a taxi home.
  9. I use my 28 degrees credit card when I book cruises like Royal that have onboard charges in USD or for cruises overseas where excursions are in foreign currency.
  10. Sorry for everyone dealing with dizzy spells. Dad experienced this recently for the very first time and it really worried him. He was also advised (by his GP)that the dizzy spells were caused by dehydration and to increase his fluids. He hasn’t had any issues since following through with that advice.
  11. Lovely photos Sue @sgmn. Sorry to read of you fainting on the plane. Glad you and Gary enjoyed your time in Singapore. Bon Voyage for your cruise.
  12. 👏 I might have listened to those first two on repeat more, than a few times, back in the day
  13. Same on Resilient Lady - video then very quick check in at muster station. No lifejacket demo.
  14. So, that’s what French toasts looks like on board. I ordered French Toast and got two plain slices of white bread and two small cups - one with blueberries and one with strawberries. Nothing else…clearly a communication fail with the waitress who took my order.
  15. + 2 @DaniDanielle, @h20skibum I was also wondering about @Ozark_Kid. I did a search for your most recent post. cc brought up the great review you did on the Allure with @brillohead. So at midnight (I had just come home from dinner with girlfriends) I started reading your combined review from last year. Miss your gorgeous grandkids & dad jokes but maybe you are just spending more time with your beautiful family and making precious memories ❤️
  16. Glad your pilot was able to get the flight out of Heathrow. Congratulations on the upgrade. Fabulous view of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
  17. My thoughts exactly! Heard very good things about brunch at The Wake. Missed out on bookings and didn’t try to walk up. Look forward to your thoughts.
  18. Those red “booths” don’t look comfortable but they really were. Always popular too.
  19. Personally, I’ve loved rum & raisin flavour since I was a kid - especially in ice-cream The “rum” always felt grown up..,
