We board Arvia at 13.30. We will be early so will go into Mayflower park, look at the ships and drive round to the Dock about 13.15. No rush to get on as there isn't a Gran Prix to watch on Sky F1.

Your fellow passengers on Britannia will be chatting in the Crows Nest " have you seen that chap crawling around on his hands and knees examining the joints in the carpets. He can't stop tutting " Have a great cruise.

We booked some speciality restaurants on Arvia and a RC cruise, so paid the deposit. Some early booking offers on trips and restaurants tempted us. Then an email reminding us that £700 odd was due for a trip to St Ives in June. We went to town today with my credit card statement which arrived this morning. DW said shall we just have a McDonalds for lunch. Do you know how much a happy meal costs?😂. At least I didn't waste money on things like eyes and teeth.

ABSOLUTELY. 😇

I accept that I just need to do as I'm told. We go into town on Friday DW is out to lunch with her friends this Friday, so this week Friday is Thursday 🤔. Fat face had a early summer sale on....Do you like this coat?, reduced from £95 to £25. You can take it on the cruise.Be honest because I'm buying it for you anyway.... Yes dear.....thank you dear.

No comment Avril.🤣

We didn't start cruising till the ' good old days ' ended. Gin and It before dinner with the officers. A cheese wheel sounds fun, a bit like the funfair. Since Covid we have sailed with P&O, Celebrity and RC. Celebrity and RC are a bit better, but a bit dearer. Off on our 7th P&O since lockdown, so they must be OK.

Any me undercrackers.🤣 Predictive just went into meltdown.

Very wise Graham.

Sound like our house....Don't wear that if you plan taking it. Haven't you got any old stuff..you told me to have a clear out... but...don't argue....yes dear...I found my Slash 2009 tour T shirt....your not wearing that are you.....🤐

As I said to DW. I'm not taking a coat. I'm not going to. No way....but I might.

We are on Arvia from Sunday. The weather looks pretty dreadful. No bovvered. It will give us something to complain about when we get back.

We never bother with duty free booze. Its, at times as cheap in the supermarket.

I broke a tooth in Canada and anther one in La Palma. Each time it cost £100 for emergency patching up. Brilliant plan I know, I'II clain on the travel insurance!..Guess what the excess was.

Food sounds good. Put a few herbs and some red wine in it and call it something French. In years to come the Grandkids will cook for their kids. What we having Mum ?....Nanny Michelle's beouf de sud de Languedoc.
