managed to get my planned project completed.  The dead branches were removed from the mesquite tree with the smaller ones in the garbage can.  The larger branches are piled up waiting to be hauled to the burn pile the other side of town.  

 

Good for you!  Well done.

 

I will brag tomorrow about reading a manual and learning to use a new gadget 😂

Thanks for all the daily news, have not heard if there will be a shortage of wine here, so will make enquiries.  

@smitty34877 thanks for sharing the photos of Camilla, what does she weigh now?

It was good to have a Fort Lauderdale Sail away today, and hear the tooting.

The day is very changeable weatherwise, clouds, occasional rain, now some feeble sunshine.Temperature 15 C.

Appreciate  seeing all the photos of Barcelona,....another port we have not visited.

Stay safe, take care everyone.

Roy - Care List addition please....hubby was scheduled for prostate cancer surgery on Monday.  His pre-op Covid test came back Positive.  We've both had our 3 shots of Moderna so we're hoping it's a false positive.  We're both getting tested tomorrow, 'cause if he's positive I should be as well.  Prayers for a negative test for both of us & that he can be put back on the surgery schedule.

 

Thank you all...

Safely home after 21 fantastic days of cruising on the MS Nieuw Amsterdam!

I want to talk about booking for Maui next year. 5 weeks beg 7-14. There seems to be many places still closed. Our Westin points don't get us very far on our closed venues. Thinking about moving along.  Where  ??

OH No!.  Just on CNN. Shortage of wine bottles. 😥

😱

Obviously we are duty bound to drink as much wine as possible so the bottles can be returned and made available for filling.

Greetings from the Eurodam and best wishes to all of you at home . We decided to get some wifi on board ship to get in contact with family and to let them know we are thanks to all the measures from HAL safe and well and are having a great time on board ship with our good friends Ann and Pat . We have had some nice independent tours in Croatia and Slovenia , tasted a lot of wine and cheese and saw some beautiful areas in these countries and also in Greece . 

Today it is a sea day and we are on our way to Naples . Holland has decided that we can not have independent tours in Italy so we will be staying on board ship . I do not enjoy sticker tours , too many people on a large bus on a scripted tour for us .  

So far we have had a fantastic time finally cruising again and if we are still not allowed to cruise into Florida , we are on a “ we will call you list “ if in the mean time this decision will be reversed . 
Despite much better vaccination and Covid case figures in Canada it still much easier for our Southern neighbours to cross our border than we do theirs ???
 

Have a very nice Sunday everybody , I will do some more posting again once we get back home . Tonight it will be Tamarind again after we had a delicious Sell de Mer last evening . Ann will possibly show you some nice “ food porn “ 

 

Tony 😁

DH never objects to me buying a case of wine, but he might look askance at bringing home a case of these.

Would it count as our 1 bottle on embarkation day?
