For such a little country, it has a wide variety of natural disasters. BTW Is it on the "Ring of Fire"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mr walker Posted March 30, 2020 #104 Share Posted March 30, 2020 well, we were due to board Voyager today for our cruise. I cancelled my leave & worked from home today. I am having my first beer for the 'cruise' right now. DW & I plan to enjoy our 10N cruise to nowhere, in fact in our house, as best we can, including celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary on Saturday, at home instead of in Vila 🙂 Cheers, and keep safe!

They both sang it together at the show. Memories ahhh. Ring of fire was good as well 😜 Edited March 30, 2020 by dizzy1948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted March 30, 2020 #111 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Lock down survival tips, well we kicked around some recipes, talked some politics (I got scolded) moved on to pensions and now we are in music. Good way to get through lock down. Even before this pandemic I would get on you tube and just randomly choose tracks of old videos some songs well known to me others not so much. If I like it I let it play, if not...next. Whatever you like it's on there and maybe try someone or something you never heard of.

Anyway, we can now look forward to the 40th anniversary next April on Solstice 🙂 Mic, Tracey appreciated that you thought she must be so young 🙂 Sadly, we have had to cancel her big (60th sshhh) birthday bash on 2nd May. Even had to cancel the special cake - the two of us can hardly eat a cake that was to be for 50 people. I have a nice credit with the cake shop. Yes, we will 'share' a drink on Saturday with you all.

So no 39th Anniversary cruise, no Tracey's 60th, no my brother's 60th in Sunny Coast ( we had 10 days booked up there in July - all cancelled now), looking likely no Cruisin' Country Cruise on Serenade in Oct, maybe no our son's 30th in Nov.

Some cake suppliers make them in all sorts of sizes, from tiny to huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valantine80 Posted March 31, 2020 #122 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Looks like my mother's 100th birthday party in September will not go ahead. In a quandary as to whether we should start planning or not. DH had consultation with urologist over the phone today and organised another for six months time so he thinks things won't have changed.

Oh well looks like we will be making up for it in 2021!!!!! Yes, 2021 better be a good year! In April my daughters were going to Europe for a wedding in Germany, then Eurovision in Holland, then catch up with friends in France. It is funny how we meet people who become valued friends in life. My daughter did farm service to get an extra year on her friend's Canadian visa. The German girl who used to work there became part of the family. My girls lived with the French couple in a 5 bedroom share house for the ski season in Quebec. My daughter is now planning BIG birthday celebrations in Dec/Jan, so hopefully it will be all over by then. She has always wanted to attend Sundance film festival. Overseas friends - I met my NY friend and family through the Parker Pen Pavilion at the World Fair in NY. People from all over the world could write for pen friends. Did anyone else get a pen friend that way? My Boston friend, we met in Japan in a recreated original Japanese house (? Black Rain movie). My Manhattan friend its really my daughter's friend - they met working together in London. And the list goes on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam Pam - I wouldn't plan a party, However, you could have a phone/internet hook up in your back pocket. 100 what a grand age! The 50 Library Books from the GC Library, automatic membership renewal and "Don't bring books back until we reopen" were all clues. I seem to recall thinking about self isolation a fortnight was mentioned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
