She's done good. She will always have a job in that line of work

 

I always ask her if she has washed her hands when I see her. LOL!!! ;p;p:p:')

We don't do fat in Scotland. We chase haggis round the hills in our kilts. Keeps us slim

 

Sooo funny...I am still laughing at the vision I have in my head right now!! :')

[grapau27]

Much more fun name than the "Tums" we have!

My late mam liked Bisodols.

I've taken my share of Bisodol in the past.

Never go to the doctor but I finally went and got Lansoprazole. Should have went years ago. Can eat anything now

So is my little sister. She is a specialist with her own clinic and sees patients in two different hospitals.

 

She is an infectious disease doctor. :eek:

I bet you are very proud of her and she is proud of you.

The clotted cream is always cold whereas the custard is always hot.

Ambrosia.

 

John will be in bed as he will have a big day tomorrow in Dubai shopping

[Ocean Boy]

If you have that disease, you have some place you shouldn't have been

I said I have TREATED it. It was someone else that was where he should not have been.;)

I don't mean to be ignorant, but can women walk around freely in these ports? Do they have to cover up? No alcohol?

Also, I'm not eating anything called "Clotted".

I am telling you clotted cream is pretty good. And very rich, and probably decadent, although the lack of sweetness and the ice cream texture is a bit off putting.

 

It definitely grows on you.

No worries, drinking my coffee and enjoying the banter.

Within reason. [emoji6]

Muskat is very conservative, but the market has all types of dress.

 

Some of the tours yesterday and today do say no exposed shoulders or knees

Not sure I posted this. It's a pic of the Diamond drink list in Chops. So I guess they are serving free drinks in there as well.

 

FWIW, Giovanni's was better. [emoji16]

 

And cheaper. [emoji6]

I believe we are in Strait of Hormuz.

 

Hoping to see some US Navy ships.

 

For those not in the know, my youngest son is a Nuke on the Reagan in Japan. Very proud of him.

Big shout out to our very hardworking Concierge. He defines awesomeness.

 

Yin Tao. He transfers to Ovation once we get to Barcelona.

 

We see him all over the ship.
