We are due to sail out on Iona on Saturday and haven't heard anything. Have spent all morning at Mum's sorting and printing out all the paperwork required, as my printer decided to pack up🙄 All done now, just the last minute packing to do then good to go.😄 Hope you have a lovely cruise Pam on Iona and call in all your ports and have no Covid reports, stay safe , I’m on her when you return 🤞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick fog and 3c here in Cheshire since lunchtime ☹️ We live walking distance from the Cheshire border here in west Wirral and has been completely clear blue skys and bright sun for the last three days. I assume you are further east, though often surprising how local fog and mist can be. Edited January 13, 2022 by tring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silent film. First time I met DW's extended family was one Christmas. All the aunts and Uncles sitting around the edge of the room with the telly on silent. They were all reminiscing and I was sitting, quite ignored giggling away at Futtocks end. She still married me but they all thought I was an imbecile. Many still do. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in South Cheshire, as we are relatively low lying at 45m ASL it does tend to get persistent fog (not much in recent years) when none at higher locations a few miles away. We had sunny days before this lunchtime then the fog rolled in. Forecast says that the fog should clear by 11 am tomorrow but I doubt it and it will be set in for the day.

Sorry to hear that, but you know your own climate. We have been to various sides of our coast and has been incredibly clear the last few days, though we had been getting very down with all the rain and dull days we have had this winter. At least the days are getting longer, albeit slowly. Edited January 13, 2022 by tring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted January 14, 2022 #30059 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Morning all hope everyone is feeling well. Still very dark and there's a heavy frost of the car. Have confirmed my order for Tesco's for delivery when I get back. Last minute packing done, just need to bring the cases downstairs and one or two other bits then ready to leave as we are heading up to Southampton. Take care and stay safe.

purplesea Posted January 14, 2022 #30064 Share Posted January 14, 2022 All ready and got time to spare so just popped back to see what's what!! Sun's up now and a chilly 7oC, and frost not as heavy as first thought. Thank you all for your wishes for a good holiday. See you all soon.

Guest ccpm Posted January 14, 2022 #30065 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Usual update from North Norfolk. Yet again we have sun. I am going to hit the insurance quotes. Looks like the cruise on Britannia to the Caribbean will get changed to Ventura in November as the premium for that is less than £350 at present whilst the Britannia cruise is £1500. I fancied some sun but not paying that much extra. Then to cheer me up lunch out at Wells and maybe a short toddle down Staithe Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted January 14, 2022 #30067 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Nice sunny morning here this morning currently a balmy -1C, an improvement on the -5C when I got up at 7 this morning to put bin out after I forgot to last night. Trip to recycling centre to day as garage is becoming overloaded with empty cardboard boxes and my battery box in the garage is rather full of discarded batteries, probably around a years worth, so those will go as well. Need to complete migration of my wife’s old laptop to her new one, most of it done yesterday just photos to transfer once I have de-duplicated them.

I must give up being the amateur meteorologist, thick fog when went to bed but clear blue and sunny today. Still only 1c though and still frost on the ground out of the sun.

Josy1953 Posted January 14, 2022 #30071 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I have spent the morning at the vaccine hub freezing because although the heating was on having doors open at both ends means that it is still very cold. We are only doing mornings this week because we are not getting many people booking at the moment, perhaps most people are now fully vaccinated. I was stunned when we were packing up and I had the job of checking how many "no shows" we had, 56 why are people booking and then not turning ? up but to compensate we had a lot of "walk ins", hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Scavenging is such an expensive habit with our poochies, though fortunately my current monster has had nothing worse than an upset tum Sharon - so sorry about the Corinth Canal. I must say our passage through it - just on a day trip from Piraeus, on an Azura cruise - was one of our all-time favourites With mid-January weather like this, the pain of not cruising seems a little milder. We ate fish & chip lunches, sitting outside, jackets off! We were in full sun and against a wall but … Eddie I was so shamed by my non hardiness and so impressed by your post that today ...drum roll...I have girded up everything in sight and I am eating outside - yes right out in the open air - albeit with 2 large patio heaters close by. I feel like an intrepid hardy person. Edited January 14, 2022 by ccpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted January 14, 2022 #30073 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Another lovely sunny day here, we had a run to one of our little shopping precincts earlier and it was warm enough to sit out for coffee, about time we got our share of global warming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have skate for supper tonight and have taken delivery of a pasta meal for tomorrow. First consignment of an Xmas present subscription. Frozen Xmas beef for Sunday lunch - looks like catering is sewn up for a few days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
