Jaybird19• in reply to
you dont see this yourself on the ship, only other ships passing !/ but I do remember looking out of the porthole in the middle of the night and seeing seagulls flying past in the light ------ all lit up !
• in reply toJaybird19
😂😂 I hate ships . I hated working on the ferry because of what happened with the zebruggha ferry diaster
lovely Dave.....no cooking today? Putting your feet up, good on you 😊
• in reply toSuzie42
tonight I had spaghetti Bolognese and everyone knows how to cook that😂 im making a cheese and turkey omelet with sliced tomato tomorrow
Suzie42• in reply to
sounds good. I made sausage flans for my grandson today, his favourite and i made bread pudding. Felt quite productive 😂
• in reply toSuzie42
bread pudding im going to make that a blast from the past I loved it haven't had it in over 30years . See cooking is good for the soul
Suzie42• in reply to
my family love it, especially the way i make it, send some over Dave, watch it whizzing your way soon 🤣🤣
• in reply toSuzie42
your an angel of mercy 😘 my gran always made it I thrive on it as a kid. Im going to get the bits in and make a batch regular . See you have inspired me 😊😊 xx
Suzie42• in reply to
I dont use a recipe ever for it, just bread soaked in water, mixed fruit, mixed spice, brown sugar, syrup and treacle and thats it, scrummy 😊
• in reply toSuzie42
a lot of the old school recipes have been forgotten but they were filling and cheap to make , look at how many people throw away dry bread
Aww we do too! The other day my nephew was making some random shaped bread with cutters and at first I was nearly going to throw the other bits out, but I suddenly thought, no!! I can make bread and butter pudding! Was tasty 😋
Great view! I love seeing the ships 🚢 lit up!
• in reply tomadonbrew
it's surprising what comes to mind with food especially now when things are getting tight . Good on ya 👍🏼 yes I love it at night when the ships go past all lite up especially with the mountain behind them
The cruise ship looks lovely. Thank you for sharing. Was it today you thought you’d go to the beach during the day? I have total brain fog today so I could have been imagining this completely.
• in reply tohelenlw7
I was hoping to go but I have to take the day as it comes and I went hospital this morning the lump on my head was leaking watered down blood im ok the hospital cleaned the area put a dressing on for a couple of days and I have antibiotics just in case of infection

Hi Dave hope you are doing ok, beautiful view thank you for sharing have a good night and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌻🌻💖
• in reply toDamon1864
im fine thanks and always happy to share xxx
was the lump on your head from your fall, or just a mysterious fall?
• in reply tohelenlw7
from my fall . Its been pulsating for a couple of days but there was a small scratch underneath the lump .
Tranquility personified so calming so beautiful, take care David 😗
• in reply todjbctla
I agree , thank you ill try 😁😁
When on holiday in Kefalonia the accomodation was by the sea and a favourite pastime in the evening was watching the cruise ships pass by much like your photo. Something quite soothing about it. Used to wonder what kind of people were on the ship and what they were doing. Maybe on the deck looking towards the land? Or maybe dancing the night away. 💃🕺
• in reply toBiofreak
it is kinda soothing to watch as the ship glides through the water all lite up , they probably are eating drinking dancing or looking at where they're leaving . Not my kind of holiday but still nice to watch . Since covid I sit wondering how many cases are on board 😁
Biofreak• in reply to
Not my kind of holiday either even before COVID. Never been on one but think I would feel too confined. I like to explore the place I'm on holiday or at least I used to . Lots of people love them though. Whatever floats your boat! 😁😂 Pardon the pun😏
• in reply toBiofreak
I used to do security on board ferries down Folkstone I hated being on board like you say confined. Like you I loved to explore now going out the door is an adventure 😅😅
Biofreak• in reply to
You're not wrong there Davey. Life has a way of getting in the way of the things you enjoy . Well illness does anyway and pretty much everyone on the forum knows that to varying degrees. 😏
• in reply toBiofreak
yes , I think about all the things I missed doing since I got ill theres lots . Think the worse bit for me is finally being in a beautiful place with all the things that most people would give anything for and I hate the loneliness
Biofreak• in reply to
It's a double edged sword. I love Greece but I wouldn't want to be on my own there, especially if I was unwell. You have spent a lot of time looking after your stepdad and mum before him. It must have been hard especially when your own health took a turn. You seem to have a few decent neighbours and friends so I hope it's enough. You certainly have quite a few on the forum.
• in reply toBiofreak
I know and I'm grateful to have the friends here and on the forum . But sometimes it is nice to have someone hold you close and tell you it's going to be ok . I spend so much time sat outside under the stars talking to them . Sounds daft I guess 😅😅
i have used cruise holidays to find new places to explore. I do not go for the life on board. but I do scan the promised holiday to see how much time is spent in the ports and how much time spent travelling and what i can find when i go ashore either on a coach trip to more remote places , or just ashore in the port itself . The sea days between should be cut down to the limit and those days can be spent in lectures on various subjects ,some times people from ORCA on board and talks on sea and birdlife there or the interesting buildings to be seen in the next port, talks and classes on various subjects . always a full day and then finally a comfortable bed.
My experience has only been on Saga ( no children. In fact you have to be over 50) .I do avoid the bridge games, the swimming pool and sun decks, the interminable treks round the deck for half a mile ! And have found extensive libraries on their ships too , and even been processing my photos taken each day, in the computer room open to fellow travellers .
No shows, no dancing, no concerts, no drinks in bars for me but so much more.
This was all done with a old friend with similiar likes after we retired but now the single cabin costs are so much more but I am not as fit and mobile as I was then.
• in reply toJaybird19
cruises are so expensive now , but I can see your logic
I suppose a cruise is ideal for some, depending on what you enjoy, The facilities you describe and varied activities sound good. For me I think it's more about the feeling of being on a ship that doesn't sit well with me.
• in reply toBiofreak
I agree it is about personal preference I don't get sea sick but don't feel comfortable on board
Biofreak• in reply to
I enjoy boat trips to visit different places. We have been on boat trips from Kefalonia to Ithaca and Zante and other islands only accessible by boat during past holidays. Those were the days when we could dive/jump off the boat into the sea and have a swim. 🏊. Aaaah memories! 😄
Hug from me too 🤗
fell out of my chair at 11 last night, had to lay on my floor till paper boy 👦 came at 6. Felt a right banana.
OMG. Are you all right? Don't follow Dave's example for goodness' sake. xxx
hey, hope you're good and well today, thanks for the text, kind of you. Just left me wish a sore butt,and loss of dignity when paperboy lifted me up.haha well
That doesnt sound too good Wonderboy, could you not have something in place with a neighbour or friend in case of emergencies like this. A bit scary for you but could have been serious in wintertime. Hope you are ok today x
am good, daveyboy, thanks. We have a pull cord emergency system in place ,but me not being hurt, didn't want to disturb anyone till the morning. We are covered 24/7,so it's o.k..
• in reply toWonderboy6
I know but don't like the idea of you being on the floor buddy. .
Wonderboy6• in reply to

• in reply toWonderboy6

• in reply toWonderboy6

Wonderboy6• in reply to
you are so right,and I deeply appreciate it
Well dont be afraid to use it just because its in the night, lying on the floor for a couple of hours could be dangerous x
l do get your point and I thank you for it. If things got really bad i would scream 😱 my head off, letting everyone know, believe me. Thanks again.
• in reply toWonderboy6

• in reply toWonderboy6
all the same being on floor till that time the cold ground air can do damage
Glad you are more or less ok.
thanks for that, very kind of you. As the hospitals say, I'm as well as can be expected, lol getting on with it. Even if it's a existence, it's great to be alive.
Oh gosh! You and Dave don't half live dangerously.
here.partners in crime, me and daveyboy
• in reply toWonderboy6
I hope you are ok , theres a pattern forming here I fall you fall my turn again next
• in reply toWonderboy6
oh what am I to do with you your trying to catch up with me
That’s terrific. I wish we could see cruise ships from our window.
Alberta56• in reply to
It would be interesting to watch them coming up the Blackwater, our local river. 😂😂😂
• in reply toAlberta56
It would be interesting here, they would have to come up a hill all the way !! 😀
• in reply toAlberta56
I should think impossible is the word
• in reply to
if you did see them you might start to worry 😂😂😂
• in reply to
I would panic 😂😂😂
I don't think the people on the ships can see you very well with all that light pollution around them. Hope your head is getting better. Happy cooking. xxx
• in reply toAlberta56
they would struggle to see me amongst the house's
Lovely sight Dave, my friend used to go on cruise's 3/4 times a year, she loved them, I get too seasick so would never bother. Sounds like you will be on bread and butter pudding tonight after your omelette, enjoy and please look after your head x
How are you today?<
It’s a beautiful view.. Is that a big ship going by?
• in reply toMavary
it's a cruise ship so very big 😁😁😁
Mavary• in reply to
Aww! They didn’t wait for me. 😹
• in reply toMavary
you really didn't want that one the plates cups and glasses were filthy and the loo's were backed up 😂😂😂😂😂
Mavary• in reply to
Eeeeegh! That sounds horrible. They don’t allow that to happen on board the big ships. 😹
• in reply toMavary
oh they do and rats in the kitchen 😂😂 when you get off the ship your guarantee to have scurvy 😂😂😂
Mavary• in reply to
😹😂🤣. I’ve been on enough and I think the Covid vaccine stops you getting it. 😂🤣
• in reply toMavary
no the rats snd cockroaches carry them and the fleas in the bedding 🤣🤣🤣
Mavary• in reply to
do you know what! I wondered why the sheets kept moving. Now I know I could have made a pet of them. 😹😂
• in reply toMavary
a whole fle Circus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mavary• in reply to
stop it! You’ve got me scratching now! 🤣
• in reply toMavary
see you didn't know they followed you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mavary• in reply to
😹😂🤣.
• in reply toMavary
could have been worse they could have brought friends with them like big hairy spiders or ticks 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Mavary• in reply to
oh No! I hate big spiders. I’ve still got bad memories of when a great big cockroach jumped out in front of me in Hawaii. That was really scary. 😹
• in reply toMavary
best check under your bed tonight 😂😂 and don't forget to look inside your shoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mavary• in reply to
I had a smallish one in here a couple of days ago. He soon went out though. With my boot behind him if I had them on. I’ve got confers along my door to deter them. I must admit for being on the ground floor I don’t get many. I’ll probably get them all now I’ve said that. 😹
• in reply toMavary
you have probably jinxed yourself 😂😂 you will be shouted at by some large cockroach
Mavary• in reply to
nah! Not unless you’ve sent them over. Ours over her are only like beetles. So I’m not bothered. Not like the huge ones in Hawaii. I bet they’re big in Greece too because it’s a hot Country.
• in reply toMavary
only joking they would have starved by now 😂😂😂
Mavary• in reply to
I’ll send them over to you if I get any now. 😹🤣
cruise ships can go from 5oo people, or a lot less, and up to and over 6000 people now .
can you imagine ! I think that most people's idea of a cruise is of the really large ships.
you can even go on a cruise ship with full set of sails -- and help sail it if you so desire . !
My first experience of sailing holiday was on 34 ft boat with just 4 berths and a skipper, round the Hebrides. Another had 8 berths and you can book a single berth or charter the whole boat and this boat is now sailing around the Med. It was built in 1907. Beautiful boat.
• in reply toJaybird19
oh I know we do have some here you can charter but I like my feet on the ground 🤣🤣🤣
Just seen the photo of you and th Ozzies. Great picture. Cheers 🥃😊
