Cruise was fine, but a bit busier than the last one, but still fine. That's 2 staycations on Britannia now, so the next one is on Iona in 3 weeks.🛳️🤣 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think winter will be tough so we all need to make the most of any chances for a holiday while things are relatively opened up. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't realise our part of Italy is on the same latitude as Athens.It has reached 50+ in our back garden but that's in the blazing sun shining on a cheapo barometer,lol.Main thing as you know is that my OH has to try and keep out of the sun due to her BCC.Cheers,Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 38c was in the shade, so goodness knows what the temperature in the sun was. I'm the same as your wife - try and avoid the sun due to my BCC history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted August 12, 2021 #24156 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That is not a pleasant temperature at all. Very nasty all these fires in Greece, Italy etc. Someone remind me when the 2023 summer cruises are out. I am thinking of moving April 2022 a year.

yorkshirephil Posted August 12, 2021 #24157 Share Posted August 12, 2021 A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?" The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?" The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, Norma Findlay, Room 302." The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room." After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, "I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow." The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good News." The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?" The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything." 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally about mid September, but things aint what they used to be so unless Moley lets on we will have to wait. We have a cruise in Jan 22 and are now considering pushing that on if the new cruises are out before we pay our balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am not prepared to cruise wearing masks and being forced to go on excursions, so I expect that' what we will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted August 12, 2021 #24160 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) It's a lovely day here with bright sunshine to dry the washing. David said that he would like curry for dinner tonight so I dug out my Indian recipe book and I have been for walk to the Asian supermarket to get some ingredients. I had forgotten how cheap that place is compared to Tesco and Sainsburys. Edited August 12, 2021 by Josy1953 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also make real Indian curry. Have about 3 different books. Nothing like making it from scratch. I buy my ingredients on Ebay usually, much cheaper than any supermarket. No Asian grocer near. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffet was open. This time you helped yourself to tea & coffee but went up to the counter where you pointed and they plated it for you. A bit more relaxed, but still quite Covid friendly. I don't know how many passengers. Last time 1800, I would guess about 2100 this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly is!! A couple of weeks ago we had our grandchildren four days three nights, aged 3 to 13. To say I was tired was an understatement, I def needed a cruise afterwards but I wouldn’t have had the energy to get ready and pack!!

davecttr Posted August 12, 2021 #24171 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Oops!, I have final balance to pay by tomorrow and I forgot to cancel it, nah, just can't be bothered and anyway it was a very low deposit. The good news is my lateral flow test this morning was negative again and the home kidney function test result was normal. It turns out you don't need a smartphone to use it, just a mobile phone to receive the verification code text. Any smart device that runs apple or google apps and has a camera can do it, say a friends phone "will you just hold this cup while I pee into it thanks" Your actual ID is in a QR code embedded in the colourful dotted test board the app scans. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
