A great post. There has been a bit of a furore up here about some of the food trucks which operate in the city centre at night not meeting the new LEZ standards - one company has had to crowd fund to replace a fridge truck to deliver the food into town (evidently they only acquired it in 2022). I am in total awe of those who operate and work in the outreach programmes. I volunteer at a local food bank and am often amazed at the number of people who don’t even own a cooker and can only be given things like pot noodles. Indeed how lucky we are. Lincslady - I hope you enjoy as many toddies as you like over the winter!🥃

I think Marella go for quantity rather than quality - certainly the spirits they serve are pretty rubbish!

Good morning - too cold for snow up here. Minus 6 degrees earlier but nice and sunny now 😀. I can’t remember who it was but I think one of you lovely people on here did a TA special with 3 nights in a hotel in Tenerife and then a week on Azura. Where was the hotel they gave you and what was it like? I am off on Wednesday for this deal - I’ve been on Azura a couple of times but haven’t done the trip this way.

I so agree - like you we had some amazing trips (mostly cruises) which hold lifelong memories. We too started cruising in an inside cabin on Holland America to the Caribbean in the early nineties and progressed to better cabins and some amazing itineraries on some lovely ships. Back now as a solo in insides mostly with P and O (a line we never really did together) on easy routes in the Med and Canaries. Still enjoyable and much better than being at home!

I agree.

Looks like I’ve been overcharged then - probably something to do with the Scottish Government saving on dental bills! 🤔

Don’t you folk have fridges down there?j

And that’s your excuse 😀

😂😂

I’ve heard you Yorkshire folk like a bargain too but are your tins 600 grammes or the smaller ones?

Yea - we Scots can spot a bargain!

What a coincidence - I have been very naughty and bought two tins only this morning. My only excuse is they were on offer at two for a tenner!

So that’s why so many Scots emigrated there!😂

Morning folks - a good day here too. Forecast sunshine later. 🌞Presently on the bus to Edinburgh for a catch up lunch with friends. First day out, apart from grocery shopping, since cataract op last Friday so very happy. Hope you all have a good one too!

Hello - grey and rainy up here (again) so didn’t go out as planned. Instead phoned Sky and Netflix to try and fix a Netflix problem which is not yet resolved. However I did get a free 4 month upgrade to Sky Cinema so just the right time of year for that! Michelle - booking a cruise always lifts the spirits. I agree it looks like Graham is cruising (or maybe in his favourite Spanish hotel). Eglesbrech - hope all is well with you after your cruise.

Hope you have a lovely cruise.

Surely the food is on a plate, not the table?

Ha ha - hadn’t thought about you guys out there 😀

Congratulations.

I always take a brightly coloured (or distinctive) handbag and put it on a table whilst I go to collect food - it’s also good in guiding me back to the right table! 😀 Good idea re the card though - I’ll check it out next month on Azura. Clodia - I see you have been on Iona. How did you find that as a solo?

Funnily enough - I too had a good outcome with EasyJet when my husband died. We had two sets of flights booked with them and they refunded all the flight money we had paid very quickly. I don’t think they even asked for a copy of the death certificate- I just spoke to a girl on the phone.

Surely not allowed now?🤔

Wow - is the box included? 😀

Sounds like you are making an excellent recovery- hope it continues.

Almost worth feeling poorly for! 🥂
