Josy1953 Posted April 30 #57901 Share Posted April 30 A cool bright, sunny morning here. Not a lot planned other than the school run and then out to look for some clothes in preparation for our next cruise now that it is creeping up on us. My S-i-L has just text to ask when DH and I are free to meet up with her and her son. So 2 nice things to look forward to. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted April 30 #57902 Share Posted April 30 Bright and sunny day that promises to reach 18.c,so Mrs K will be on the lawnmower . Me I will be on supervisory duties and head waiter in the tea making dept. @twotravellersLondon Great to read you are deemed fit to travel and passed all those tests , now comes the next hurdle ..Travel insurance . I bet those astronauts didn't have all of this and we only want to jump on a cruise ship that never leaves the planet .🤔 Soon though you can put all of this behind you and have normal folk worries ,like Going to reception armed with your phone to tell them ,you can't find reception 🙃 Or going to the MDR and asking the waiters "What is in this bowl you have served? "it's Bean Soup sir " ... I can see that but what was it before ??😉 Happy travels wherever life takes you .😀 Have a good day everyone🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted April 30 #57905 Share Posted April 30 That makes 3 folk complaining about the weather in the SW 🙄 We still have that cold wind. It’s 11° apparently, rising to 13, but still not pleasant 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now in a rainy A Coruña. Oh well. Nothing to moan about yet. Vast selection of food and entertainment. Yesterday evening La Voix in the Limelight. Interesting.!. followed be Festival in Headliners. We had seen that before, but it seemed better this time, a bit more modern. Onward and upward. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. Delighted to say that we've sorted out travel insurance. One is on an annually policy and the other on a trip by trip policy with the same insurer... at the end of the day there's no great difference in price... but a five minute telephone interview to reconfirm all of the details after booking... only stipulation... no to travel within 28 days of any hospital treatment. We also have letters to cover carrying heavy duty meds etc through customs/immigration and onto planes... no desire to be suspected as a "drug dealers at our age... ("honest yer Guveror... it's for personal use... 'onest!) Currently arranging a sickie note to excuse having to eat green beans. It's from mum...

Pleased you got your travel insurance sorted. Best wishes for an amazing holiday or cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted April 30 #57912 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Ships TV is broadcasting the arrival of Cunard Queen Anne into Southampton for her first time this evening from 18.00 for those that are interested. There could be a flotilla of boats following her in including fire boat sprays. Edited April 30 by Splice the mainbrace 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted April 30 #57914 Share Posted April 30 Afternoon all, stop press we actually have some sunshine! I’ve been fed up of the non stop rain. Been making calls this morning to do with Mum’s admin! For example her council tax reduced to single person amount then we had two months ‘free’ now the direct Debits have started up again they’ve charged her the higher amount again 😡 It’s never ending … 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
