If I want the weather forecast around the UK I can look online or TV and knowing what everyone is doing every minute of every day is like Twitter 2. Also the usual "experts" are arguing amongst themselves that they are right and everyone else is wrong on every subject the latest being the Indian variant of Covid. It's all Greek to me .I think it's called the Doner variant now,confused. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobstheboy Posted June 2, 2021 #21827 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Good morning. Another lovely sunny day here, but do you really care ? 😀 We're going to enjoy this good weather by lazing on the patio, reading a good book, well that depends on your taste. Stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted June 2, 2021 #21828 Share Posted June 2, 2021 majortom - it may be that this thread will in time have run its course, but at present it does present a view on the world for those of us who are somewhat stuck at home for various reasons. Being nosy by nature, I have enjoyed reading about other people's joys and sorrows, and how things are in various parts of the country, not to mention the funny contributions by Kalos and others, and the photos of people and places. I should add that although I have not cruised with P and O before, the regular posters on this thread have made me think that I would enjoy meeting many of them on board P and O, as so many are friendly and inclusive sounding. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with all you said. This thread has been so great during the last 16 months or so. Anybody who doesn’t like it should just ignore. I hope you do try P&O as you are bound to bump into someone you already know from this thread! Gill x 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DamianG Posted June 2, 2021 #21830 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I had an early appointment at the recycle centre (aka dump) this morning and there was a big queue of cars waiting to go in. Just look at the driver of the car that was three places in front of me: 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted June 2, 2021 #21833 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Morning everyone. I woke at 5.30am to bright sunshine. I closed my eyes and just woke up at 10.20am. I think all the driving around the Lake District has took its toll😴. It's nice to hear what is going on from everyone and some of the jokes and photos posted have been excellent and hopefully some of you liked ours around the Lake District. It is 17°C sunny and warm outside. We have nothing planned yet and I am now eating my breakfast porridge in bed watching Judge Judy. Have a nice day friends.

Rare Eddie99 Posted June 2, 2021 #21842 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Off you go Bob. You know you want to! 😀 Well, it’s been a lazy, relaxing day here, with added heavy rain for a while 😮 Boo! No one ordered that 😕 We did get out for a dog walk early on and visited the fish shack, so have some lovely looking tuna for salad Niçoise later. Have enjoyed the Test cricket, though the Kiwis have the advantage at the mo. A good toss to win Watching the pandemic stats with trepidation. Rising cases is just about bearable, as long as hospitalisations don’t also rise. 😬 R number (remember that?) over 1 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted June 2, 2021 #21843 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Well it’s been a mixed day today and very quiet on here , where is my Kalos fix !! It’s not them same with out it 😔 any way I’ve been busy in the garden tidying up after the builders have given me a new fence all down the garden so a lot more private now for our hot tub afternoons . It’s our 43rd wedding Anniversary tomorrow so I’ve been secretly wrapping my husband’s presents and hiding them all over the place when he’s out in the garden , I’m hoping he will like what I have got him this year. So our plan tomorrow is to go to a lovely bakery at 7 o’clock in morning to get these lovely selections for breakfast, then take a drive to the new forest for a cream tea ( jam on first then clotted cream) then home to chill and then out for a 7 course dinner in a very small chic restaurant, so tomorrow is all about the food 😛😋 , hope you’ve all had a good day today and not been caught in the rain and I hope tomorrow brings you all sunshine and joy to , take care everyone 🙂 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham. Porridge is a very serious subject up here Graham. What do you consider to be porridge? Where I come from it is a one to three ration with one part porridge, two parts milk and one part water. On a Sunday one part porridge, one part milk, one part cream (and a hearty dram of decent single malt whisky mixed in before a long sermon on a hard wooden bench). I tend to eat mine with fresh raspberry or strawberry in summer and raisons and cinnamon in winter. And none of your in packet oats, straight from the mill. yours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re on the 24th sailing from Liverpool. Couldn’t see one for this weekend otherwise we’d have done that, can only see Virtuosa calling into Liverpool on 8th June but nothing available on the MSC site.
