There’s nothing quite as scary as the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. They certainly work! I think it was building work dust that set ours off. I used one of those compressed air keyboard-cleaning cans to give it a good blast I also recall removing a ‘Fire Angel’ from my late parents’ bungalow. That shrieks when it’s not in situ. Drove 30 miles home, aiming to sort it out there. Noisy! Tried to fix it … noisy! Locked it in the garage - shriek! Hit it - shriek! - Took it to the tip - shriek! Apologised to the guys and handed it over and drove home quickly 🤣🤣🤣 Do you remember Phoebe from Friends having similar trouble?

Very changeable weather here - from blue sky and really warm to full-on summer downpour in 5 minutes. It was our group walk this morning, so we spent quite a bit of it lurking under trees and the rest wishing our waterproofs weren’t so uncomfortable 🙄 Petrol is getting ridiculous isn’t it?

Sarah - hope you’re better soon. The LFT is not a bad suggestion - you have been in a “dangerous” situation on board. If negative and you’re still feeling iffy, Diarolyte or similar rehydration sachets will help put you back on your feet After saying previously that the jubilee planners got it right moving the BH from last weekend to this … it’s blowing an absolute hooley here and there was heavy rain o’night. Hope it doesn’t spoil any parties It seemed like a good idea to have coffee and cake out to break up our walk White water! Very unusual in this spot 6A93B61E-7F10-4415-B5BC-CBA4900A7973.MOV

Lovely sunny morning I whinged and wondered why it had been decided to move the BH weekend but it seems whoever made the decision knew we’d have horrible weather on Monday and sun shine on Thursday I’ll lose track of which day it is very son, I’m sure Have a lovely long weekend, and enjoy any gatherings you’re going to

Anyone got their bun-tin up yet?

I recall my desk moving during a quake of that order, many moons ago. Strange sensation I like your smart kit SH - is it in response to the Britannia dress code thread? Very showery day forecast here, so we’ll have to judge our walk time carefully. I have Book Club this afternoon anyway. Nothing more exciting than that happening, I’m afraid

He’s a keeper!

Yet another of the things we could/should have warned you about. It might take a couple of days to completed regain your land legs! I’ll look forward to your retrospective when you’ve had time to sort your thoughts (and your laundry?)

Glorious day here. We went to the seaside and lunched out. Posh fish & chips zap? It’s got caviar and all! Possibly the best chips known to man! iPhone says we’ve walked nearly 12km/7+ miles, so probably time for feet to up and enjoy the afternoon sun

Can only agree with previous posters that this has been a lovely read I hope you enjoy a nice relaxed day today, with good weather too, perhaps? Final morning will be another new experience Safe journey home - I look forward to hearing where you will go next. Perhaps Spain/Portugal first, followed by a Med cruise? Our second cruise, after the inaugural fiords adventure, found us in Acapulco! 🇲🇽

There was a chance the website I made it on wasn’t secure and might compromise things, so I asked Sharon to take it down Everything ok with you Avril? It’s been our Wednesday walk - wet and not terribly pleasant for the dozen humans and 4 dogs

Morning all Raining 🙁

That looks very nice Perhaps you’re enjoying the view as you navigate the Solent, perhaps you’re having a drinkie before dinner, perhaps you’re already dining? Whatever - enjoy it all

There must be a lot of pot-luck I phoned at 2 today, not expecting much and got through straight away after making my choice from the options menu. I was amazed!

Delgirl - your update sounds heartening. Good luck to you and your husband. I wish you much happy time together I’ve no news or anything important to say except Bon Voyage to those boarding today. I know of Sharon, Dave and Sarah, there are probably others I’ve missed. Smooth seas and sunshine to you all

Hope this works! https://www.pocruises.com/onboard-activities/dining/main-restaurant

We were overtaken on a paved pedestrian trail yesterday by an old guy on a mobility scooter with his two dogs On the back, among other items such as a Ukraine flag was a ‘number plate’ with HARDLY DAVIDSON 🙂 Have a wonderful, relaxing, hitch-free cruise Sarah. Your first cruise is a very special time
