Morning all, Heavy showers down here, but not cold at 11c. My week has just got busier, along with the birthdays this week (four), I am meeting friends for lunch today and had a text last night from another friend who's travelling down to Cornwall and wondering if I was free to catch up. There's no let up over the weekend either, at least I haven't got time to be bored. Hope everyone has a good day.

Just hope those that are awaiting hospital appointments, etc get their letter before their appointment!

I agree with regards to RM, as we had no post all week, but come Friday we had ten items of post and none again yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up. We board in the middle of January and as we have plenty of OBC were planning on booking once on board. It is my birthday wlhile onboard and were thinking of booking Epicurian, so will now get it booked as soon as bookings open.

No decorations up here. The birthday season begins! We have six birthdays in our family between now and the 23rd, today is my granddaughter's birthday. With Christmas just around the corner too, it's an expensive month. Very windy (sorry @Caullkhead I did the best I could🤣) but dry with the temp in double figures, although the wind is making it feel colder. Nothing planned for today. My daughter still has my car as hers has been scrapped, as it would hafe cost too much to repair it. Luckily she works nights, so not too much of a problem, as I can use during the day. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I haven't filled it out yet for our cruise at the end of March, but on our booking confirmation, at the top of the itinerary it states "Emergency Evacuation Chair Passenger 1".

We were allocated an adapted cabin on a late booking pre-pandemic on Britannia in the Caribbean. I did like the extra space in the room.

Can't really add anything that hasn't already been said, but know that my thoughts are also with you and your family at this sad time. Take care and look after yourself too.

I have completed one for my husband but have not received any acknowledgement, although my P&O does give me the date of the when the questionaire was submitted.

Another typing error,🙄 I'm good at those!🤣

Morning all, A wet and windy day, also a very dark day, I turned the lights out and had to turn them back. Three weeks, til Christmas Day, where had the time gone. Help, I'm not ready! I did get some wind delivered yesterday though, had to take advantage of Tesco's offer of 25% off six bottles, plus my 10%. Pity the offer ended yesterday as this weekend coming, I would have had 15% instead of 10%. Oh well, I suppose I shouldn't be greedy! Have a good week.

We are expected to get back up to double figures again today, after our cold snap. It started raining yesterday evening and is forecast for today and tomorrow as well. Tesco delivery this morning and plan on getting some baking done ahead of a family get together in a couple of weeks. For those of you that have snow, take care, stay warm and safe. Hope you have a relaxing Sunday.

A cold and frosty morning here, unseasonally so for us at 0c but with the chill factor of -4c. Just received a phone call from my youngest daugher, instead of asking if can I take her to work, she's asked if she can borrow my car to get to work tonight. At least I won't need to take another trip to Truro. Christmas decorations don't normally go up until the middle of December. Mum's birthday is then and they always used to go up the weekend after, so I suppose the tradition has stuck! Hope everyone has a good weekend, stay safe and warrm.

Make jam on a regular basis, it is my granddaughter's favourite. Made some into jam the middle of last month and have just made another batch. Am now running low on jam jars and storage space.

A cold day down here too at 1c, and after the weather we had yesterday, it is a complete contrast with blue skys and wall to wall sunshine. We had rain overnight and looking out first thing there wasn't any ice on the puddles, but looking out again a bit later they had iced over and frost had formed on the cars. I've been putting it off and putting it off, but have finally got around to defrosting the freezer and was surprised to discover just how many raspberries I have😲 I now need to find some recipes to use some of them up!

Morning everyone. At present it's 2c here and drizzly, although there was heavy rain when I got up. I hadn't planned on going out today as a new dishwasher is being delivered, but I had a phone call from my son saying his train had been cancelled and could I give him a lift into work, in Truro. It has taken me two hours to get to and from Truro (less than 20 miles) due to the volume of traffic, road works and weather. Sleet and snow, and settling, which is very unusual for down here. The snow was gettting worse the nearer we got to Truro, but I was surprised on the return journey just how bad the visablity and road conditions were just five miles up the road compared to here. Now having a cup of coffee and catching up here. Stay safe, warm and take care. Pam

A rather grey overcast day and a lot colder than of late, so much so that I have finally put our heating on. Met my friends for coffee yesterday and one of them has booked onto the same cruise as me again. When she was telling me she commented that I would think that she is stalking me🤣 Nothing much planned for today, just a few errands to do and I really should make a start on my Christmas shopping. I just don't seem to have any enthusiam towards Christmas this year! Take care and stay safe.

Indiana, I can't really add to anything that others haven't said. But pain can be soul destroying and if there is a way to try and eleviate, or lessen it, I would give it a go. Good luck and wishing you all the best.

Meeting friends for coffee this morning, too. We have six birthdays in December and two in January (although one of those is mine). I haven't counted those in Sicily! I have hardly started Christmas shopping, never mind the birthdays.😳 Looks like being a nice bright sunny day and although temp is reading 6c, although it doesn't feel that cold when I put the washing out.

So sorry to hear what you and your family must be going through. There are no words that convey what it must be like. Life can be cruel. Stay strong and know that we are all thinking of you.

Had a good day yesterday and no problems with the traffic or roadworks going up to Exeter yesterday. In fact we made such good time getting out of the show ground and down the road we arrived at the pub booked for our meal an hour early. Fortunately they were able to accommodate us so we didn't have to wait for a table. Everyone enjoyed the show and had first and front row seats, so no heads obsuring the performance.

Afternoon all, Have just been catching up with the boards. After a chilly yesterday our temps have now returned to double figures and we've got rain again. Josy I am so sorry to read the news of your BIL and hope he I learnt yesterday that a friend has been diagnosed with stomach cancer which is terminal and has only 4-6 weeks.

Was just wondering as we are on K407.

Are you on K407 or K408?

Morning everyone, hope you're all well. Our coldest temp of the winter so far this year at 5c, but dry which is a bonus and no wind. Driving up to Exeter today to see Disney on Ice and have booked a meal at a local pub for our return.There are 7 of us going so should be a good day. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Pam
