I think I missed something the last couple days.   
 

Spent Wednesday and Thursday at the hospital in Pittsburgh with Susan.  She had surgery, and she is now out and on her road to recovery.  Dr. said things looked malignant, but they will not know until pathology comes back next week.   I wasn’t aware you could tell by looking.

 

 

My best wishes and prayers for Susan.

Jeans and maybe a tee. If there is a breeze add a sweater.  3 degrees less and add a jacket.  I have lived way to long in the south.

 

We're in the 40s here at night, and I still haven't even pulled my jacket out of the closet yet.  Last year, I never even wore my winter coat once -- my jacket was plenty.

Oh my, I wish you could edit in a longer time.  I meant to write benign, but it was too late to edit.  
 

All I know is we will both rest easier once the results are back.  

I just saw this post thanks to someone else's quote of it. Glad to read it.

Cheers from a warm Saturday evening in Sydney & cheers to finally securing a table after doing 3 laps of the Opera Bar & 2 laps of the House Kitchen…8B0B170B-0821-442E-B372-8E51A710F0C5.thumb.jpeg.dc864ec655dd7a9bec4a1c0cba3f2d4a.jpeg

from marauding seagulls.  We heard the dog handler say they hadn’t stopped all afternoon.A57CF297-82CE-43B3-85CE-9E2D51C7E72A.thumb.jpeg.2ccddf8394722b388e095f83cca6c101.jpeg

 

Early dinner prior to seeing a performance at the Playhouse at the Opera House.  I bought tickets a while back on impulse.  At the time DH announced it was too weird for him to see.  My girlfriend was happy to come in his place.  Then a review came out this week in the paper and DH said “that looks better and more interesting than I originally thought”.  Sorry honey but you missed out.

Dimanche - physical Theatre with mime & puppetry centred on climate change - from Belgium.  Described as a tragi-comedy.  It was very funny and very well done.

 

City looking pretty as usual after the show

As we approached Milsons Point Wharf on the ferry, we observed hundreds of silver gulls flying above the Sydney Harbour Bridge.  We hadn’t seen this before but apparently it’s a regular thing. Bit eerie though.935A89C7-7918-4256-8F87-13378412984B.thumb.jpeg.2716025a90c01a2f9388662c05c19111.jpeg

I also never wore a winter coat last winter. I also never had to start the snow blower either.

Definity.  WE turned Pinnacle last November, this is the first we have had the badge to wear. 

 Following our next cruise with you, we stay on for another week  for our free pinn cruise.

I did not know once you reach Pinnacle you get a free cruise. That’s great. I don’t think we will ever get to Pinnacle but as Diamonds we would to at least get to Diamond Plus.

Have a great time cruising. Make sure to keep the treated area out of the sun, skin will still be sensitive and the Caribbean sun can be strong. Being at sea is a great relaxer, you deserve it.

I never thought that we would either, it always looked like an impossible goal, then we started booking cruises, And we really did not book that many 2 point cruises, but the points just started adding up.  Of course, DW had some good luck in the casino,  so there were also some free casino comp cruises also.

How fun to be able to wear your badge for the first time!  See you in a week!
