Caullkhead Posted August 13, 2022 #37030 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Went for a moonlit night walk along the cliffs last night, was still really hot, could feel the heat in the granite walls. Had a badger dash across the path & back, not sure who was more surprised! Tunock biscuit picnic looking over Sennen, saw Norwegian Star lit up on way round to Portland. Boiling here again today, just off to screw fix to cool down in the car! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted August 13, 2022 #37032 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Already 26C here, lowest overnight temperature in greenhouse was 18.2C, and that was with the doors and windows open! Off to BBQ this evening, it’s a gas powered Kamado, so no chance of sparks etc, probably about 50 people will be there, so should be a good evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been on 4 Princess cruises and apart from a Oz party cruise (as it turned out) where the ozzies were living it up have been impressed. We have 2 P&O cruises booked for the next 12 months and haven't been on P&O since 2015 so will be interesting to compare. We quite fancy a transatlantic and USA/Canada cruise that Princess seem to do every September/October looking for 2024, when do Autumn/Winter cruises on Princess get released?

purplesea Posted August 13, 2022 #37035 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Another hot day down here too 29C and expected to get hotter! Not working today thank goodness. Took an early trip to Penzance for a click and collect at Tesco, the idea was to go early to miss the traffic, but there seemed to be more tractors on the roads than normal😕 Got home and made some ice cream and decided while in the kitchen to make some scones and flapjacks too - must need my head examining. Although it has been proven I'm not right in the head!!🥴 Daughter and partner are coming over later for a BBQ. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboys Posted August 13, 2022 #37037 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hardly a cloud in the sky here and up to 32⁰ so far. Keeping the windows shut and blinds drawn to keep the house cool. Been into town to pick up some prints I've had reframed. Stopped for coffee in a newly opened, independent coffee shop. Good coffee but dreadful, overcooked, dry croissant. Copious apologies and replaced by a more expensive product with good grace and smiles, so good service too. Did a food shop and now home. Probably start getting cruise wear out to see what I can still fit in to this afternoon... Some not been worn for 3 years or more... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one farmer was ploughing as well we could smell the soil and see the gulls circling ,loads of them . We don't do BBQ but for those that do ,the farmer gifted them with a smell of manure 😙 for the evening . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted August 13, 2022 #37041 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I've just seen another P&O advert that I haven't seen before with 2 (I presume) friends having fun at the port destinations, this follows the daughter and father one with similar message. They seem to be pushing the destination angle rather than the onboard cruising experience. The previous Rob Brydon adverts were more about relaxing onboard and cruising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted August 13, 2022 #37043 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Afternoon all, definitely rather warm here but I must be getting used to it as I’m not too bad. It’s not as hot as it was a few weeks back. Luckily I work at home Thursday and Fridays so I didn’t have to stagger home in the heat yesterday. John due home from work very soon, not much planned for the rest of the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut006 Posted August 13, 2022 #37044 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hi everyone, hope you are all well this afternoon and managing to keep cool-ish. Well we landed back in Manchester yesterday from Salou after a lovely but very hot holiday with the grandchildren. They behaved fantastically well for us as well. It took two hours from landing to getting our luggage, my mobility scooter did not arrive at all. We reported it to Global Baggage Solutions and they had a look too. No joy so lost luggage forms completed. Still heard nothing and they are not taking phone calls. This is a massive inconvenience for me as I can’t get out without it. It goes in the car attached to a hoist so I can get out and about. As look after my partly sighted mum too I am feeling a bit let down at the moment. Sorry for the rant folks from a very frustrated Michelle Have a lovely weekend everyone Michelle 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope you get good news soon. I also hope it is covered under insurance. Glad you had a great holiday up to that point tho. Gill x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
