Corona Cavern

[Mamzie]

I want to get out in the garden and do some more work on my little patch. However, the children next door are all outside. I'm happy that there is no risk to them from me also being out in my garden (and I can largely be 2m away from them, and on the other side of a fence), but at this time of heightened anxiety, I'm not sure that their parents will feel the same way! Especially as there is a fair chance they may try and chat to me. So I am hiding inside and hoping they go in for dinner soon so I can go outside.

We have a bit of a bigger gap in our Close, but its lovely waving and distantly chatting to the neighbours. My littlest one is going a bit stir crazy, thank heavens for pets and plants for her to help care for.

Sadly our one set of neighbours are still stuck on a cruise ship. Their once in a lifetime World Cruise turned out to be a lot different to what was expected. After being stranded for a week around Africa, they finally managed to refuel and start heading back to Southampton, expected to finally dock in another 7-10 days

Oh dear Mamzie, that's awful. Never fancied a cruise myself (what if I hate it and can't get off!), and I think many people will have gone off the idea now.

I used to work on the liners (West coast of North America, Mexico to Alaska) many years ago and it was a great life if you were young and single. I never wanted to go on one but my husband eventually convinced me.
I loved it and we went on several afterwards. It is a shame they will be hit so hard in the future.

We have been going on cruises with friends for the last 6 or 7 years.
It's a great way to see places you might otherwise never visit.
For now though, it has put me off.

I was told they were for the newly wed, the overfed and the nearly dead.

Never fancied a cruise . Too many people and too far off land. (Im a good swimmer but nah)

Anyone for a drink ? Currently sat outside in the cool (cold) breeze with the dogs.

[Babru]

Thanks CG, but I just had one. No, go on then, I'll have a half.

Just had a Chinese meal delivered, first time in my life. I've always preferred to sit in, someone brings the food, no need to clear up etc etc. First world problems I know, but still.... I'm grateful there is a local Chinese take-away that will deliver. A little bit of normality.
