Hi All, Seems like everybody has gone into hiding or maybe the early spring weather in the UK has taken them outside, not like here in Canada we still have snow even Vancouver is buried which is most unusual for that part of the country.

Donald thanks for the address you sent I did reply but my message rejected for whatever reason.??

Just been looking at a photograph of a new cruise ship called the "Seaside" coming into service in November and advertising for passengers already. Couldn't believe the design of the ship never seen anything like it??? Now if I could only talk Joy into it we would be on board but kind of doubt it. Mauri

Mauri, if Joy turns down your offer of a cruise, I would be delighted to take her place. I agree with you that the Forum has been quiet. Comes and goes.

Mauri,

You are a tonic, you make us all wake up to Life with your positive attitude. Go for it,tell Joy I know how she feels.

Ann, If I make it I'll have the ship diverted to pick you up in Bangor, which reminds me of the first time I went on a cruise as a passenger way back in 1972. We were doing a tour of the bridge when the Officer of the Watch said I am going to alter course as there is a fog bank ahead. I said are you not going to post a lookout as well.

He looked at me and said "No" and we don't whip them any more as well???. Made me feel old.??

Pat, I am still working on it??? Mauri

Mauri, I'll be standing at the old sea wall watching for the ship. I'll be the one with the walking stick, going by the length of time it's taking for my hip to heal.
