We were holding our breath and crossing our fingers for all those trapped kids. It's a miracle that they managed to save them all, albeit with the price of one of the divers' death...😢😢 Hi Dani. Yes, the Thai Navy Seal’s wife spoke on camera about her husband who sadly died. There were many people involved in the rescue but the ones who lead the rescue were two amateur cavers from Britain and an anaesthetist from Australia who is also a caver. The rescue was miraculous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed at the settings! Right now we’re watching Miss Marple (very soothing, even if there are several murders!) and Brother Cadfael- truly excellent acting. They’re both old, but we’re getting use out of the BritBox There's been a few areas used for film sets in our area. There's a private school called Wellington College which is often used in shots from the series Midsomer Murders And the forest near us was used in the second to last Harry Potter film when they were on the run I guess being 30 miles from London, but in the countryside with lots of old villages, its convienant for the film crews There's also a few film studios in this area Edited December 3, 2021 by sgmn 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 3, 2021 #39428 Share Posted December 3, 2021 @Sea Dog Congratulations on your retirement. Loved the videos from your cruise report. Actually made me teary watching your boarding & departure videos on the Explorer. Loved that ship & really missing cruising right now. Your new puppy is adorable. @singinalot Your Greece trip photos were stunning. You and your sister have beautiful taste in wedding gowns. Enjoying your stories (Insta)from your current trip @grapau27all the best for your skin cancer op. Been there done that - Had my face and back done in the same op - my scars initially looked like I had been bitten by a shark! but miracle cream erased the scars eventually thankfully @lenquixote66 was interesting reading about all the bands and singers you have seen. @Jimbo your gazebo looks lovely. I could see myself spending hours in there relaxing with a good book if we had one in our garden especially as we are heading into summer over here - once the rain finally stops.., @ozark_kid your grandkids are adorable. Hubby is desperate for grandkids but we’ve got a while to go before that happens.., @dani negreanuyour son is an impressive surfer. My brother met his wife when he fell off his board, ended up in hospital and she was his nurse. He lives in the Blue Mountains now so he doesn’t get to surf as often as he used to when we were kids living a short distance from the beach. Hello to all the other regulars. Can’t quote you all😀 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to call and cancel service to see what kind of deal they might offer. DH calls every time we get the notice and is always able to negotiate something. “Longtime customer, I’m going to look at other options, etc”.

We, too, loved the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel, have watched a couple times. I think the whole world was tuned in everyday while those children were trapped, amazing rescue except for the loss of one of the divers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cable bill for DVR, GOLD service, and land line is only $65 Gold includes about 500 channels including HBO and Showtime. I can even watch HBO from Ocala using my Spectrum credentials That's an amazing rate. You are very lucky we have nothing that low here in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted December 3, 2021 #39439 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I went to dermatologist yesterday for annual check up. I had 3 spots removed that he said are most likely nothing but I wanted them gone. He did prescribe the chemo cream fluorouracil to try on a small sun spot on my cheek. Will do apply twice a day for 10 days and if it doesnt have any reaction from the cream then it's nothing to worry about. Today I go for my annual mammogram and Monday I go for my pre consult for colonoscopy. Hope to get scheduled before our return to cruising begins on jan 9th. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
