Chas, I could literally imagine you doing this on the ship!

Funny, but really dark humor.😷

Worked hard today on ideas for a four course northeast Italian menu for JP’s big basement wine and dance party.  😉  And tonight, enjoyed the fruits of the labor.

Stumbles, if we understand this correctly, 4 courses in NE Italy are the same as 8 courses here?

Maybe we could get Stanley Tucci to come and cook for us😃

I probability would if I knew where to get one (that didn't cost much).

Haha!  I like your thinking!

 

Unfortunately, 4 there is 4 here.  I was just practicing with 8 different dishes; 1 for me and 1 for Silver Queen across 4 courses.  Although, don’t tell anyone we did share. 😁

Were there leftovers, and what is the address?  [Asking for a friend...]

I had to think long and hard on that one Reef Knot.

 

Hi.  I’m Stumblefoot.  A consumer of alcohol.  And, a student of the Que Sera Sera school of three glasses of wine before bedtime.  Hiccup!

Apologies to Daveywavey - I have just realised that although the dreaded caravans etc. are piling in from England you are still not able to feed and water them.  I guess the 'three glasses of wine' had affected my brain.  I hope they are not parking up for the night on the verges, as my son tells me they are in the Lake District.

 

I get the impression that Prince Philip was quite popular in Canada,  mysty?    Suddenly Brits are deciding he was a good thing, after many years of making fun of him.  Whatever else, most of us will feel sympathy for the Queen tomorrow.

Yes Lola,  Prince Philip was very popular here.   There are many fans of most of the Royals here! 🥰

We are in trouble here.   Lockdown extended to 6 weeks.   Playgrounds and golf courses restricted.  Police have the authority to ask where you are going if you leave home.   The madness is never ending!

[Stumblefoot]

Wow, Mysty!  That news article is so sad to read.  And, here we sit in America with so many states open at 100%.  Also, did I hear today that Moderna is not going to be able to achieve their vaccine production targets for Canada and the UK for the 2nd quarter?

Our state of Colorado has been pretty strict, but nothing like what you're experiencing.  In fact, today, most of the state opens all businesses at 100% capacity and without any mask requirements.  Our county is waiting until May 16 to move to that level of openness as our hospitalizations have been rising, even though vaccinations are progressing.

Moderna has slashed its intended deliveries.   We are in crisis here.  We are not a 3rd world country and yet here we sit.  Canada does not have the facilities to manufacture the COVID vaccines.   We must import all of them.  And some of the countries are limiting export in order to service either their own country or their bloc .  Myster is 71 in a few months and has an appointment for his vaccine on Wednesday next.   Hopefully they have some supply.   I had a first dose of AstraZeneca  two weeks ago.  My second dose will not happen for 4 months.   The tunnel is long and very dark!

no button to tap - thanks, happy, like?  just not appropriate.  Mysty -  but I agree with Stumbles
