Good morning all, the clouds are trying to disappear here.
Haze, lets just hope things start improving for you, the first one being your husband's wallet! As for the cruise, there's always idiots around, just sometimes they are more visible. Have to admit we have heard so many bad things about cruises that we are totally avoiding them for a while. People keep coming back saying that people that have covid end up locked in their room for the rest of the cruise, some ports won't let them dock if even one person has covid etc etc. I thought all the hullabaloo about it had died down, but obviously not. I am not trying to say it wasn't serious, it obviously was, but surely most people have had jabs now?
Have one or two bits to be getting on with, but really do not have the get up and go, shall have to see if I can find i down the back of the sofa lol.
Would think most people have been jabbed. I guess the average age of a cruiser is older than the national average and as such are more likely to have other conditions and so become more ill if they contract covid. Also, I'm surprised they are testing if they aren't so ill and testing positive means being confined to your cabin. Possibly explains why it spreads on a cruise ship.
Good morning, nice here not too hot or chilly..... great news hubbys wallet was in gregs, they didnโt have any information so ill pop back when the 2 young gents are working as we would like to repay them or the customer for their kindness and saving us all the hassle of replacing driving licence ect.Forgot to say i came home with covid, same cruise line we were last on 2 years was a farce when they had so many restrictions with us boarding at Southampton( some extremly rude jobs worth ๐) but when we got to miami nothing in place, loads boarded with covid, we nearly didnt make alaska as so many isolated, people in white suites fumigated rooms it was like a ghost ship our table of 8 became just us 2 left. Alaska said we were not allowed in their waters if the ship had covid so every 3 days the whole ship had to test go back to our room and wait to be told if covid free, to say we were stressed was an understatement. They offloaded covid people and family early in usa and paid for their hotel & gave them money so we could carry on. This cruise people coughing everywhere, never covering their mouth, touching everywhere in the buffee (luckily we only walked through) not washing their hands dispite walking past huge sinks b4 they entered. One lunch time a woman said i wont sit next to you as she had a cold, but let her husband who passed the cold onto her sit by me and proceded to let another woman join us and sit by her, coughing throughout lunch i should of moved, lesson learned health 1st b4 other people thinking im rude for moving. There was covid onboard cruise just gone and again they isolated the 1 person not the whole room, hubby was unwell and spent 2 days in the cabin, i then became unwell 2 days b4 we got home luckily not affected as bad as 1st time with covid but nobody seems to care anymore, they wont miss any of their cruise that they paid for and to hell if they pass it on. We think hubby had covid but he was negative when we got home thank god as he had chemotherapy. No matter how much he loves that company im now avoiding them, ive booked with two other companies one was our very 1st cruise liner and the other is a new one to try so fingers crossed they handle things better. Have a great day all hugs going freely. X

I was thinking of you this morning Spuds. I think anyone here who has had a partner for long enough will be looking at them and being thankful they still have them.
It will be brutal all the couple things that you are used to doing. I've no words of wisdom. Other than to say we are a 24 hour service for airing thoughts.
My MIL is on a similar path to yours having lost FIL a few weeks ago...we too have the funeral this week.
I have no real words of wisdom other than take time to heal and it's ok to show whatever emotion you feel when ever you feel it.It will take time to adjust but again just take one day at a time and remember you are doing brilliantly. Much love to you and your boys and look after eachother.
email from shoppix their thresholds for pp withdrawal are going up and they taken off apple if you get those. theyre adding voucher choices. fortunately not taking away amazon and their thresholds arent moving yet. 15th july if anyone wants to cash out
Raining here all day but only to be expected as we are in Cork.
Had a bit of a nightmare say yesterday due to failing to anticipate how long security at Stansted would take at 6.45AM, especially when one of our party had left their hair spray in their hand luggage which added 15 mins and resulted in is reaching the gate 2 mins after it closed.
Alternative flights were a bit thin on the ground but ยฃ600 and a 5 hour drive through the night from Belfast later and we made it to see DS play in his Gaelic Football championship - and get sent off early on and play no further part...still that is why we are elite so we can afford these never repeated experiences....

Afternoon gang I hope we are all well or at least comfortable and I hope peace and tranquility reigns? Not been able to get on here to comment for two days as Tapatalk doesnโt accept any new passwords from me ! I wanted to say that I also suffered at the hands of Stansted security (twice). If they find ONE thing in hand luggage they swab umpteen times in slow motion then put your bags to the very back of the security queue to be X-rayed again. This can take up to an hour and woe betide anyone who asks them to hurry, I was nearly arrested second time because I told the lovely lady that she would make us miss our flight, apparently zero tolerance also includes questioning their motives ! The first time I also was denied boarding despite being able to touch the last person boarding. They literally just shut the barrier and said weโd been removed from the manifest !!
Your new bathroom looks gorgeous, tweets. Love the colours you've chosen and the mirror looks perfect too. You must be so pleased with it and relieved the work is over!
I love my sunflower mat i had only just put the blinds up when i took the photo's if you look through gap in bathroom door you can see old ones and Rosie was also wanting to come in bathroom so she maybe in pic .
I am glad its all done but on 20th July stairs decorators are here so thats another upheaval but needs doing once its done i will be happy. They not council so will get on with it
