Good Morning Tuesday 30th August 2022

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is cloudy at the moment.

Not much on the agenda today, Mr C isn’t as well as he might be. I may sneak off for some grocery shopping, no delivery this week, fancied a change. Must also finish my homework ready for Thursdays training session.

Safe trip tomorrow grandmattie and anyone else on the move with calm seas for the sailors.

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning everyone from Dorset where it looks like another warm sunny day is forecast
I’ve not had chance to post for a few mornings as we’ve had fairly early starts to our days. Our walking holiday is going very well, the weather has been really good, a bit too hot for walking up steep hills though. We’re now in Burton Bradstock and on one way via Abbotsbury to Weymouth today. We’ve passed through some gorgeous seaside towns and villages. One more week of walking and then we will have finished this long distance footpath!
Hoping everyone is ok, wishing everyone on holiday a lovely time and hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today. Take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick and everyone from the Norwegian coast where we are heading towards Lysefjord on a fine sunny day.
Some of our number are going to hike up to Pulpit Rock very high above the fjord, and bravely stand on top to look down on us faint hearted ones below!
I am going to be zipping about in one of our zodiacs to explore the head of the fjord. This being after lunch. Before that I will probably attend one of the onboard lectures and prowl the decks admiring the scenery. We are having splendid weather and I shall be returning much browner than when I set out.

Do have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from the western English Channel, as we spend our last day at sea. I am not really up at 6.15 English time! We are on French time, so here on the ship it is coming up to 7.20. It is a sea day, so shall go to breakfast a bit later this morning. Then the packing begins. Apart from that nothing planned really, so shall just go with the flow.

Yesterday's programme included a visit to the French port of Brest, a change from the planned visit to St Malo (beyond the ship's control). We had a brief tour of the area in the morning, but there was not a lot to see there, apart from a rather imposing harbour castle. The afternoon was spent reading on the sundeck, followed by a Pina Colada as we sailed out; next it was time for formal dinner. Lobster was on the menu again!

The evening's entertainment was a brilliant show by the ship's crew (mainly Filipino). They have some really talented performers amongst them, singers and dancers. They also treated us to some traditional Filipino dances and songs. The final act was a very emotional song about their home in the Philippines - and their second home, the ship. There was barely a dry eye in the house.

Well, must make the most of my last day at sea, fine weather is promised so a turn around the deck may be on the cards. Have a lovely Wednesday everyone.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Our new hall and landing curtains are being delivered this morning. I hope they’re what we expect! I have a blood test at 12.30 pm, I had my annual long term conditions check recently and the the doctor wants to do a liver test again as it was borderline. Our gardener is coming this morning. I think she will be mainly cutting down hedges. At some point I will drive younger son to Oxford so he can get the train back to London. It has been good to see him. He made a delicious fish pie last night.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a cooler south Hants?

Mick - I hope you’re feeling better today.

I wasn’t feeling well yesterday so took a lateral flow test - thankfully it was negative - but am feeling better today.

Mammogram today - always makes me feel anxious, but am grateful for the technology and skills that found my last breast cancer.

Have the best day you can everyone. Thinking of those that are suffering and hoping that life gets easier.
Hugs and ?to you all x

Good morning from a grey E Kent. It rained for 2 minutes at 0429!
I had a lovely surprise yesterday afternoon. A lady I speak when walking round (literally) the town came round to see how I was. It is interesting that the people who have been most sympathetic and attentive haven’t been those I thought were friends, but mostly acquaintances.
I have an 8 o’clock appointment for my feet, t’ai chi has been cancelled due to people being on holiday or incapacitated, so I shall visit my old friend to see how she is. I’ll then go to the pub for coffee with my t’ai chi ladies.
I have to finish packing for my trip to Bristol tomorrow.
Take care, dear friends. Carpe diem. ????❤️

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s a cool start in my corner of Lancashire, there’s a golden sky, currently 12C. No rain forecast for today.

Hope you’re feeling better Mick.

No real plans for today. Mr. B has a dental appointment, hopefully just a check up. I need to catch up on some housework and thinking about what needs to be done before our trip north next week. It’s so long since we’ve been away I must make sure we have everything we need.

Have the best day possible all ???

Good morning!
Off for DDog walk shortly then I really need to finish emptying the bedrooms ?, get on with tidying the front borders and do the ironing. Unfortunately my oomph isn’t getting going!
Hope you all have a lovely day x

Good morning from la Sarthe, where it’s warm again although a slight NE breeze is helping currently.

Rain was promised this morning but, as is often the case here, it hasn’t materialised. Yesterday, we moved any vulnerable items of treasure (junk) from our mega sort out to a place undercover, just in case.

I trust you are feeling better now, Mick, and that everyone is as well as possible and has enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. Welcome to Wolpol! ?????
