We were lucky enough to have the massive suite at the front of Adonia, which was fine in calm seas, but when it got rough we couldn't move in the cabin, we couldn't get from one side to the other.   Everything landed on the floor.. nearly us too.  But we loved Adonia and we were very sorry when she went.   It had a lovely atmosphere.

West Kent housing the spiders in the outside meter boxes were as big as my fist,lol.

Oh no, I would be gone.

Even the word  sp*d*r makes my skin crawl😼

Didn’t realise Dolly Parton was a P&O patron.

No their not Dollys.. she's more like a 36 JJ or more!

plant pots that I had stuck under the staging, upset a few spiders by removing them. 

EEEEEK.. I would have run half a mile down the road.   In the past I have been known to accost some innocent person in the street wimpering "Are you scared of spiders?"

When OH and I lived in separate houses (down a lane) he was so good when he got a call at 1 am to come and rescue me.  He knew what a state I would be in.😶

I love it like this and moan and moan through July and August.   I will never know why😏

Other than the one on our door, no 😂 

Thank you Selbourne and Pete14.  That made me laugh out loud, which is something really needed this morning.  Really made us laugh out loud.  Good old CC  x

Have you seen the Ryanair advert with  well behaved children at the forefront.

I reckon they did that on purpose, having seen the awful Love Holidays one

. I reeeeealy want to make a spaceship out of the washing up liquid bottle..🚀

I do wonder what the 'boy' thinks when he sees the advert, he could be a father himself now.  Isn't it the advert from many years ago... or am I mistaken

So looking forward to the rest of your blogs on this great tour of yours.

I have always fancied Bermuda.  Never been. 

Your fair critiques are a great read for us.

But who are On the Beach trying to appeal to? I certainly would not want to go anywhere that the portrayed family are going, it would definitely spoil my restful start to a holiday if they suddenly burst into the club lounge and locust like devoured everything in the buffet.

Ooooh word for word what we have said Terrierjohn .    I like kids but when that boy runs on I cringe.   I wonder if it was done on purpose.. kind of reverse advertising.. after all we are talking about it.  (I know what I mean 🙃)

Very pleased to hear  your good news Avril.    Even at 5.30 in the morning!😂

nd now it's time to find find something for my dinner.

and  to relax and do something you enjoy doing for the rest of the evening.

And to eat chocolate if you have any over from Christmas (or finish any Prosecco!😃 

Yes I got nearly four hours. I saw there is a bad weather warning for this week ie ice and snow, so have just done a food shop online just in case.  Only a day or two early.

Good Luck at the Drs Lincslady or rather  'fellow owl;😄

The cheese sandwich was delicious.

Just off back to bed.

Good morning.. any night owls about?

I am a food fancier who gets cravings.  Here I am really fancying a humble cheese sandwich.  I am also trying to lose weight.  Should I /shouldn't I.  I never have had good willpower!!🤣

As we missed having our own turkey this year we managed to finally find a turkey crown a few days ago.  We missed the cold meat and pickles next day, then the turkey stew then the curry.

I am cooking it as a roast today, but have decided to do it all in the Ninja.  I am wishing myself good luck.

Thanks Kalos, sounds like a good service.  I'll ask my pharmacy.

Sounds like he may need his meds in a "sure med weekly pill pack" when he gets home

Kalos I have googled everything I can think of re Sure Med packs and have found the makers/distributors, but can't find anything about chemists who provide this service.  Even giving my post code didn't help.

Any ideas?  My meds are increasing and getting a bit complicated.  I would even pay a small charge.

Goodnight x

I enjoyed your last honest and fair 'log' Selborne.  I am going to try to resist reading it every day and read en bloc every few days or so.  Looking forward to them.

Best wishes to you and Lady Selborne for an amazing trip.

Off to Barbados as I've always wanted to see what it is like -

Enjoy every minute.. Have fun

We have no cruises booked yet, but are taking off to Potters Five Lakes in a couple of weeks.  Looking forward to it.

ps,, OH said we had a podiatrist appointment this afternoon.   I felt something was amiss.  Drove there.  Wrong day!!   So embarrassing being turned away   My New Years Resolution of no more ear bashing worked!!!  I said nothing and fought the urge to  gloat... nearly😄

Oh dear, am I the only person here who likes grey days.  Also grey cities.I agree there is too much rain at the moment but as I just said to OH, I would love to be in Wales at the moment, walking the fields, hood up  and wind blowing.  I wish I could but I can't. 

We are supposed to go to town today.  I would happily go in the rain, but OH has suggested it might not be a good idea with my scooter or two  sticks🤣

Strange, we are all different.  Sitting on a desert island beach just doesn't appeal.  I am getting better, I am  liking summer a little bit now.  I often wonder if it  was something to do with being brought up high up in an old victorian house  ... well in an attic really.  I just don't know.. but at least one person is happy if the sun don't shine  🙃😊

Please don't throw me out.  I like it here!

I decided, for the first time, to try the January  Sales - it's doing my head in.
Went to Boots, they don't sell boots..
Went to Currys, they don't sell curry..
Went to Selfridges, they don't sell fridges..
And as for Virgin Megastore, don't even get me started on that one !

🤣

Shouted this one out to OH in another room.   He laughed out loud.    Hope the neighbours weren't listening🙃

Is it a formal night?

We loved the "Stay Home, do nothing, go to bed early" Ticketmaster ticket a few pages back, but cracked up when Yorkshire Phil  asked if it was formal night.  Still laughing now    Thank you  x

Happy New Year to everyone  xx❤️

I'll try and read though the posts tomorrow.

You just chat away Avril.  You've listened to us lot  enough times.

Really hope Frank makes a fast recovery,  and is soon on the mend. He's in the right place.

Take care of yourself too .. Best wishes  v x

had a box of chocolates given to me for Christmas. Do I eat it quickly so it’s all gone for the New Year diet or do I just have one every day as a treat! What a dilemma

The box!!!!"

Preferably with a nice hot cup of tea.🙃

Just popped into Tescos.  Thought I'd better let you know...

The hot cross buns are in!!!     Actually labelled as hot cross buns.

Also saw a pub  saying "Book now for Mother's Day Lunch"   

I give up!🙃🤣
