I hope they can correct the problem bc those shoes are really cute!

Which one? 

They are going back to Amazon shoe land.

And as Goofy hopes, they may find their sole mate…

one of the pax on silversea was known for wearing two different colored shoes, but they were the same shoe. 

Perhaps its a new trend i am unaware of.

In the category of you cant make this up…or two left feet…

I ordered a pair of shoes from Amazon. The photos show the shoes that I received. 

Yikes. I guess that the robot thought they looked the same. And they are both left.

Thanks.  Yes, We were just looking at the rooftop restaurant this morning.  Will do!

Tried to upload photos from the JW without success. Will keep trying. 

The grounds of the Hotel are lovely for a stroll, and the history is worth reviewing.

The island is away from the crowds that clog beautiful Venice.

We stayed at the JW and enjoyed it very much. Silversea had a water taxi take us from the airport to the hotel.

The JW had a private launch to Venice on a regular basis, it was very convenient.

Be sure and have a cocktail at the rooftop bar of the JW. Incredible views of Venice.

We also enjoyed dinner there.

So funny.  

 

Send me details of your cleaner.  They are hired.  I don’t care if the house remains dusty.  More drinking reduces the importance of dust.

 

Jeff

I have learned that dust is a protective coating.

Ditto wow

JJ:

How about a crossing on the Ray?

Jazz,

when do you go on the Ray?

hope you’ll post impressions…

Well, got back from the Alaska cruise and the peas were in fine form.  Have been wanting to make an Italian dish (from Marcella Hazen cookbook) Risi e Bisi.  (Rice & peas) Similar to risotto, but a little soupy, all the better to soak up the freshly grated parmesan, of course.  A nice early summer dish, with a bottle of Oregon pinot grigio.  

OMG PEASSSS PLEASE!!!

Enjoy your voyage to Greece. It is just a magical place. Hope you get to some islands which are less touristic and spend time exploring.

Tis so very sad.

I have no desire to bob around or circle in my bathtub( the Caribbean) in furtherance of “regionalizing”. 

We experienced many of the “changes” during our last three Silversea cruises. They were more like cutbacks.

We were smitten by our first Silversea voyage in 2012. We took lots more Silversea cruises afterwards, we are approaching 500 days.

The vision as espoused and articulated by the new guy is not for us. Now that we know what we were experiencing in most recent times is the future of Silversea, we will look elsewhere. 

Maybe the “why” doesn’t matter to some. 

I care THAT she left. She was responsive to pax.

Good Afternoon Coolers ….. 🙂

 

Today was another log delivery day.  

 

So The Boss was in charge of the wheelbarrow and transportation duties and I was in charge of stacking elegantly. This is our fifth load so far this year and anyone would think these logs grown on trees.  Outrageous prices.

 

As she was knackered I invited her to choose what she had for lunch and she asked for one of her favourite comforting dishes - Grostl and Wurstel + eggs for dippng.  And “PEAS!” for Spins.

 

Anaesthetics were house white. 

 

Have a great day all!

 

Jeff

 

 

 

 

Please more peas!

Good afternoon Coolers,

 

Today was chicken in white wine sauce with mash and peas!  As an aside.  My memory just sparked up.  Did someone use to pop up in Cooler history and shout out “PEAS!” every time I posted a piccy of peas?  🤔

 

Anyway, in sympathy with Rojaan19 we have smaller portions for the dietary compromised.  😦

 

I’m proud of the parsley because a year or so back I was bored and we got heavily into hydroponics for fresh stuff and as a result we have been overtaken by stuff including parsley.  Hydroponics is a wonderful thing.

 

Today it was house wine.

 

Jeff

PEAS! I love peas.
