Enjoy lunch Huggles 🙂

I'm going to B&* to buy paint, we won the bed so need to get the room painted fast ........... + I don't think they can both fit in a single for much longer, one usually ends up wedged between the wall or on the floor :^O

If I'm not on line much these next few day .............. I'm decorating 😐

:-x happy birthday Gina :-x

How was your cruise?

If you're still exercising you'll be doing the running next.  I did 5k with sons lot - almost killed me.

[ginap.123]

Cruise was lovely thank you. Stop offs at Sicily, Naples, Rome, Corsica & Barcelona. Visited Sorrento, Pompeii & Vesuvius, The Vatican,The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, The Spanish Steps, 1992 Barcelona Olympic Stadium & the Sagrada Familia Church.

Really brilliant & the ship itself was top class, we've decided to book on the same ship next year for thier Carribean Cruise.

[rainydaywoman11]

A bit pee green here.  Was it Royal Caribbean by any chance?  My Dad and Stepmum cruise once a year and prefer to join them in the Med.

Joyce is tall and slimmish and I spend my life buying her nice 'frocks' from the decent charity shops we have here - they'e big on their ballroom dancing.

It was a Thomson Cruise (on the Thomson Dream) & I couldn't fault it. Food was fantastic (24 hours) & the entertainment was so professional (as good as any in a top theatre in London), the ship was absolutely spotless & the staff couldn't do enough for you

[**towery**]

[merc1_clocks]

It sounds & looks wonderful Gina...so glad you enjoyed it, & thanks for sharing  :-x

[huggles1253]

It looked wonderful in your photos on fb! I'd love to go to Pompeii, must be very moving.

[ilove2patch]

It is very atmospheric Huggles. I had a strange feeling walking around there.

[huggles1253]

I can imagine that. It felt weird when we learnt about it at school (in Latin to jaz it up a bit I think) I think I will look into going but Italy is so blinking expensive!

[ilove2patch]

I did it on a cruise. We flew out to Venice & cruised around Italy calling at Croatia, Athens, Monaco as well & finished up in Barcelona. We berthed at several Italian ports.It was fantastic.

[ginap.123]

we flew out to Mallorca to pick up our ship. Had the worst flight ever coming home, the turbulance was awful. I've flown many times but this was the first time that I was so frightened that I was near to tears. People at the back were being sick left, right & centre & the woman over the aisle to me was popping pills like they were smarties. Even the crew were ordered to stash trolleys away & strap themselves in. The plane was being thrown around everywhere.

[huggles1253]

That's horrible. Had it once on a flight to America. It was so bad the plane ran short of fuel and had to land at an airbase in Alaska to refuel. It was a military base and we were told to put the blinds down on the windows so we couldn't see anything. I still wonder why we were close enough to Alaska to land as it was way North of where we were going. The people throwing up would have bothered me more than the turbulence! :_|

[ilove2patch]

Me too. I can't cope with vomit!:_|

[stan3502]

Also agrees the sound of people retching turns my stomach :_|

[ginap.123]

I'm the same. It must have been worse at the back as all we could hear were the cabin crew buzzers going & then one would rush to th eback with a sick bag, so at least I couldn't see or hear them.
