P&O SUE

Did anyone seen the first episode of the Sixth Commandment last night? Quite chilling and a brilliant cast, I’m looking forward to the second one tonight.

Ooh unusual to see seaweed like that at Margate!

So sorry to hear this Michelle, but glad to hear you have an appointment soon. Sending gentle hugs x

Yes she has the golden cockerel now I believe!

I’m absolutely shattered! Trouble is John’s alarm goes off an hour before mine and if it wakes me up and I’m working I tend not to go back to sleep. I’ve been awake since 4.45 plus 35 minute walk each way to work! I literally have not moved since I’ve got home ! Just seen my excursions have finally popped up on my Rotterdam cruise. There’s not many of them though and not the one I want - to Keukenhof. Perhaps they’ll release some more later.

I didn’t want to get into this debate - but she’s right 😃

Can I add I’ve been looking at Uk holidays and they were dearer per night than the cruise I’ve just been on and they only include breakfast! No brainer…

Great report again Selbourne, loved the Tiffany story! How much?! 😱

I did the seven night Princess cruise to Oslo Copenhagen and Skagen in July 2019, we were two hours late into Copenhagen as two tugs had to literally push us in against the wind. Then we missed Skagen altogether due to the high winds. Hope you get there!

A woman can never have too many handbags 😂

Evening all. I’m gutted I didn’t watch the tennis now, sounds like I missed a good match, I can’t stand Djokovic so didn’t watch it when I heard he easily won the first set! I spent the afternoon reading, sitting in the garden ( warm but windy!) and looking at holidays I can’t afford 😂

I haven’t been to Porto since 2018 but P&O ran shuttles buses then and I don’t see why they wouldn’t now as the journey was a good 20 minutes. It was free for select.

Yes sad person that I am I actually looked it up!

I’m booked on the Aurora cruise at Easter that was originally going to Amsterdam and is now Rotterdam. I want to go to Keukenhof and saw P&O did a tour. Now they’ve cancelled all the excursions ( I hadn’t booked it yet) and I’m still waiting for them to put the new excursions up! I think I will go with P&O as it seems a bit of a faff with public transport. As happy v says less stress.

When I had my ganglion cyst removed (under local anaesthetic) I had high BP for the first time (even 8 months pregnant my BP was fine) This must have been 9 years ago. I didn’t feel anxious but it was on the high side, I had to get three separate readings at my GPs before they would do it! They said then ‘white coat syndrome’. On the day of the procedure of course it was high again. The nurse just said ‘is it us?!’ Then of course I had my stent fitted and then put on BP medication, although it’s a lowish dose.

Makes one wonder!

I saw that ☺️ Gary and Olly Smith, quite a P&O gathering! Gary was very knowledgeable with the wines.

At least the passengers can eat and explore the ship. And, hopefully, not have a bumpy night!

Ooh I’m looking at the Ageas Bowl for March, I wanted to go before but there was cricket on so it was fully booked! I fancy a room with the view over the pitch ☺️

Oh I do know Avril and it was regularly checked at the surgery before you know what. I’m more angry that they had raised cholesterol flagged but weren’t asking me to get it checked. I’ve had to instigate every year a cholesterol check - after I had my stent put in I was left to my own devices! How many people don’t bother? It seems to me diabetes is being pushed by the government at the moment, I suspect surgeries are given extra money for it. John at his recent health check (never had any issues) was given his diabetes likelihood ‘score.’

Disappointing! If you’re like us you won’t want to leave your luggage in your car while you go exploring. Perhaps try and drop your luggage off early.

I have another grandson story for you - his sports day should have been yesterday but postponed til Monday because of the rain. Joshua was quite pleased he said it sounded ‘hard work’ 😂😂 Hope you will be posting more when you’re on Ventura soon 😊

It has been quiet on here lately. Personally I only had a short time to look yesterday so I focused on Selbourne’s ‘live’ thread ☺️ My GP keeps sending me texts to send them my blood pressure readings but I don’t have my own machine so I haven’t bothered. Since I’ve started taken BP tablets in 2018 it’s been fine. Anyway yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and phone them. I waited half an hour to get through. I started at no 6 in the queue. Anyway she offered me an appointment with the nurse on 31st July, sooner than I thought! I told her they hadn’t asked me to get a cholesterol test this year (only sugar, they seem obsessed with diabetes) She said ‘ahh yes it’s flagged up!’ Then why hadn’t they contacted me?! Trouble is the wait on the phones puts me off phoning! John had a text to book his ‘well man’ check but tried for three days before he got through. Anyway, happy that’s sorted!

please keep posting, the vast majority enjoy them.

I’m so pleased you were able to give feedback, let’s hope they listen! Formal night on Britannia for us last year was frustrating with about an 80 minute wait.
