Very enjoyable photos too Sandi. Graham.

Thank you for posting today's latest lists Roy. Graham.

Good afternoon. It has been raining and is currently 17°C. Tomorrow will be Pauline's late dad Roys 14th memory. Roy was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I love milk chocolate and sold milk chocolate for 35+ years. It will be interesting to see Tina's photos of today's food. My reading is predominantly Cruise Critic and hopefully my writing is liked. Sending our very best wishes to everyone who is suffering today. Portland is not a popular port although Pauline booked us a short MSC cruise next year which visits Portland and Cherbourg. Take care and stay safe. Graham

Happy 18th birthday to your grandson. It is raining here this morning and a cool 54°F.

2 excellent ports for pre-cruise stays. I have always preferred Barcelona because the airport is 20 minutes from the port. This year flights from my local airport Newcastle are going to Girona or Reus about 1.5 hours away from the cruise port so Rome depending on flights will be my preference.

I upload our photos and screenshot our boarding passes and pre paid Speciality Dining confirmations. I forward by WhatsApp the boarding passes to Pauline. I have the Royal Caribbean App on my phone. I also print our boarding passes and confirmation invoice. Graham

Nice photos Vanessa.

Excellent description. 1 day limited over cricket is exciting. 4 day county ( League) cricket is the bread and butter cricket. 5 day test matches are competed by countries primarily. England. Australia. New Zealand. Pakistan. India. This is the county (state) league format.

That sounded painful. I hope you have not broken anything. Sending you my best wishes. Graham.

The clock tower sounds like at Lords cricket ground England the home of cricket. A century is 100 runs an excellent score.

Thank you for all your amazing photos Lenda. Graham.

Extremely interesting photos of Moscow Lenda. Graham.

Excellent photos Sandi.

Fantastic photos. We were fortunate to see all these sites on our tour. Graham.

The football was a very high standard. I have been very impressed with the passing,goals and tactics.

I'm so sorry to hear you had such a nasty fall and horrible knee injuries. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Graham.

It is hot for us in NE England. The temperature the other week was 20°F over the normal hottest summer day for us. Graham.

Lovely photos Sue.

Pretty easy really. There are 3 stumps(wicket) either end separated by 22 yards. Bowler bowls a ball the batsman hits it. If the ball goes over the boundary rope it is 4 runs. If the ball goes over the boundary without touching the ground it is 6 runs. The batsman can run between the wickets for 1,2 or 3 runs until the ball is returned to the bowler or wicket keeper. There are 11 players on each side and the winner is the one with the most runs. Limited over T20 (20 overs)or 40 overs per side matches are more exciting because the batsmen are looking to score on every ball bowled. There are 6 bowls per over. Players are out if the bowler hits the batsman's wicket or a fielder catches a batsmens hit. If a ball hits the batsman's pads in front of the wicket without hitting the batsman's bat first he is out.

Thank you for today's lists Roy. Graham.

Good afternoon from a hot 75°F front garden. Thank you for today's fleet reports and Daily Rich. Interesting days and curious quote. I will give today's food and drink a miss. We had a day in St Petersburg during our Baltic cruise in May 2015 on Serenade of the seas. Wishing everyone good health and happiness. Graham.

Excellent match. The quality of the ladies football was outstanding.

Good morning. It is a nice sunny start to the day in North East England. Currently it is 54°F at 07.37am with a high now forecast for 70°F later today. I hope everyone is well and have a fantastic day. Graham.

Good morning. It is sunny and 12°C with a high of 19°C later. I hope everyone is well as this thread has been fairly quiet. Take care and stay safe friends. Graham.

Happy birthday Lori.
