Thank you for posting the locations of the HAL Fleet.

@ger_77  so very pleased to read such good news for Maurice.  Thanks for the photo, I immediately recognised Jim Hannah,  from reading his posts from what seems like ages ago, these days he must post on HAL threads that I do not have time to read. 

@RMLincoln  Maureen hope that Richard continues to make good progress.

Thank you for the HAL Fleet report.

@grapau27  did you join the crowd of folk to welcome The Prince  of Wales when he visited  Seaham and Newcastle?

Thank you for posting the HAL Fleet locations.

Just read @grapau27 explanation of Beltane, he mentioned April 31st, is that date an error?   No April 31st on our calendars!

tried to add this comment to my above post,, but too late to edit.

Rabbits,rabbits white rabbits, this Wednesday morning the first day of May.

Will read all the posts later.

We were on a Nov/Dec cruise from Auckland to Sydney.  That was our second time on Noordam.  The first was a year earlier when we cruised from San Diego to Sydney.  We absolutely loved it.

@sciencewonk  apologies for my late  reply, but thank you.  

Bon Voyage Everyone!

We sailed 2 cruises 16 days and 14 days  on Noordam February /March. We are 5 star Mariners, were invited to a Mariner reception each cruise, where Medallions were presented, but no Mariner Lunch either cruise.  It's interesting to read that the Mariners  Lunch is served on some ships.

Kristina (the Neptune Lounge concierge) was our favorite crew member on our recent cruise on Noordam.  She took such good care of us when my DW and I got COVID (sequentially, not together).  She was also proactive when we were having troubles with room service.  I think she put the fear of God into the room service staff.  After the first couple of issues, the service was prompt and over-the-top gracious.  I can actually picture her as horrible embarrassed at the situation.

@sciencewonk  on which Noordam cruise did you sail.?

@Cruising-along  pleased that your luggage has arrived and the Wine......... the wool is great for insulation.

We had messages to do in town today, then had lunch before returning home.  We were nearly finished our meal when a young couple walked in, he was wearing what I thought was a back pack.   When we went to leave, discovered that the "back pack' was actually a cat carrier, the cat looked very similar to ours.  They said they take the cat for "walks" in it everyday. 

Yesterday were out for lunch, again DH had a dozen fresh oysters......making the most of Oyster season.

@RMLincoln good news from the Oncologist.   Sorry about your SIL, hope she can be kept comfortable. 

@Haljo1935  Wishing your DH a very Happy Birthday.

Clean up your pantry day, our pantry is compact compared to the big  " Butlers" Pantry we had in our previous home that we had built for us, with a second dishwasher etc .

@Quartzsite Cruiser  @StLouisCruisers @kazu @dfish@JazzyV @smitty34877  so appreciate your kind use of blue bubbles and multiquotes   It makes it so much easier (and shorter) when I read later in the day. I know it takes extra effort but it’s appreciated! 

 

 

@bennybear Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate the considerate posters who either multiquote or use the blue bubbles.

@Quartzsite Cruiser congratulations on your multiquote today ......post number 83. A splendid example to us all. Thank you for being so considerate.

Good evening.

I was in and out of the skin cancer consultant's office in about 5 minutes.

She checked the 2 cancer removal scars on my face and said my face looked good.😃

Good news.

Did you get a good report for your foot pain?
