Morning all, beautiful morning here. Off into town again, have bus pass -will travel. @anjelikaferrett how did the gym go? Have a good day, all.?

It was OK....until the last 15 minutes. I was doing fine, keeping up with the level we were doing and then our PT said "We're going to do something fun for the last bit" He then did not immediately mention vodka or crisps so I guess our definitions of fun are slightly different. Fun turned out to be a cardio circuit involving bikes, ropes, balls and weights.(In a different setting ropes, balls and weights might be fun for some folk??)I was knackered and nearly cried.
On the positive side it is quite a good way to start the day.

Your definition of a good way to start the day and my definition definitely differ. ?

We all have problems and we all have issues, but I remember the first time I read the opening post of this thread. It feels as painful today as it did at the time, and tends to put things into perspective…..sorry if this seems maudlin ….

Gives you perspective Pete. That's what I found anyway. Also inspired me to find an inner strength I didn't know I had. Top bloke was Messy. Personally couldn't thank him enough and together with the lovely people in here helped me through some pretty tough times.

It's OK @Gwladysover - the cavalry's back and we've got them surrounded.

Looks like @Barnfred 55 has seen the light already , being the soul mates that we are we both had the same thing for lunch.

Hi everyone , well as you can see I'm back in one ( very brown ) piece from the Caribbean where me and Mrs J had an absolutely fantastic time. Honestly can't tell you how good it was and amazingly I even got to watch the Arsenal game before we left for the airport.

Yesterday was a blur - got home at 10am after the redeye flight , fell asleep , woke up watched a bit of the Spurs/City game and fell asleep again!

Today much better . Did the housework and went to the gym - all good.

Healthy eating and no drinking for the rest of the month.

Man City , bloody hell , hope that Moshiri hasn't done anything similar.

Hope everyone is ok and have a lovely evening all.

Mine was actually sausage and beans Jazz but no need to let the cat out of the bag with H. Just wanted to show some solidarity. lol

Good to have you back mate. Sounds like you had a great time.

Arvia is absolutely massive . The dining and bar options are ridiculous. There was even a specialist veggie restaurant on board.
Entertainment was the usual mixed bag. There was an American Comediene who so toe curlingly bad that I was embarrased for her. The Caribbean party band Pheonix were fantastic . The house band Pulse were just like a student band with the lead singer constantly forgetting her lyrics whilst the band in the 710 club were off the scale - absolutely tremendous.
The usual shenanigans onboard. Someone was thrown off for fighting over a sunbed and apparently a woman stole 14 salt and pepper pots - like you do. Fortunately the boat is so big that you can get away from the nutters.
Good to be back
