anyway its time to tackle the rest of the To Do list and get productive.

virtual hugs to everyone on the sick list and everyone having their hospital visits and apps today and hope it all goes well

I did wonder if it might be a good idea to draw a line under all of the unpleasantness over the last few nights/days and if we might really need to start a bright shiny new thread even though this one is just a few days old

Absolutely not. It would cause more problems than solutions

Who starts the thread, what it's called, etc won't change anything. Lets just wait until we near 10k

Just logged onto the Oyster website as I knew I had had an Oyster card at some point in the past, turns out I had had 2, so refunded them, £10 back in account. :beer:

thought id go for a refund too. but my 2 are visitors ones and cant get money back. however i used their chat service to get a balance. i was told i cant be given an exact figure but i have enough on there to travel for 1 day between zones 1-6

They were experiencing a mini heat wave, but apparently, in August it was hitting 43 degrees. I am blonde with fair skin so you can imagine how I wasn't coping with the heat :rotfl:We did what any self respecting tourist would do under those circumstances, sat in an air conditioned bar and kept our fluid intake up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Yes it is very touristy you are right. I haven't heard of that excursion tbh but I don't do heights so it wouldn't be something I could experience, but I agree Hidden Lanzarote sounds brilliant.

this is the description - sounds very good, some scenery, history, architecture, horticulture and some refreshments - perfect


"As you travel northwards, you’ll enjoy a visit to the old capital of Teguise, declared a site of historic and architectural importance. You’ll also make a stop at the Haria viewpoint, which offers breathtaking views of the northern headland and neighbouring islands.

Your journey will continue to the Aloe Vera Farm tucked away in the village of Orzola. Aloe vera is a typical plant of warmer regions and one that grows exceptionally well on the island of Lanzarote. The plant is used for a multitude of purposes from preventing wound infection to being a valuable ingredient of skincare, it can even be taken orally. During your visit you’ll have the opportunity to try some aloe juice or liqueur.

Afterwards, you’ll head to Manrique’s Jardin de Cactus, filled with over 1,500 cacti from more than 100 different species found in Lanzarote, America and Madagascar. The Garden is a stone-built enclosure and provides a stunning background for these unusual plants. It is also in this area that the cochineal beetle has been cultivated. The beetle lives on cacti and its larvae are used to produce the valuable red colourant, cochineal, formerly found in drinks such as Campari.

During your visit, you’ll have time to wander around the garden and enjoy a refreshment at the on-site caf!, before the return drive to the port."

Good morning all
I am back from my holiday in Lanzarote. Weather was brilliant, had a couple of 38 degree days. The weather here is dire, I want to go back
I did start to read back but changed my mind again. I can see there is a little disharmony going on, so will start from here.
I hope everybody is well, or making a recovery from whatever ails them.
Try and make the best of this horrible day everyone x

I love Lanzarote, hoping to go back next year, we done Fuerteventura this year. You are so right, the weather here is dire, and its gone sooo cold, couldnt you have bought some nice hot weather back with you :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Amongst all the bickering etc I forgot something important to share the good news and not just the bad,:o:o

My new little part time job has changed considerably, I am now the manageress of the cafe in a beautiful country park with the most fab people, and whats better it was actually the other staff who suggested it even though they have mostly been there longer so I know they are all happy. My boss is lovely and never there so I am changing menus and really enjoying it, It may sound dramatic but its totally changed my life, I had not worked for 15 years and was a bit of a recluse, and even though its hard getting into a new routine it is defiantly worth it,, This is all thanks to the elite as I would never had gone for it if cjj had not posted about trying to get a job and all the inspirational replies she got encouraged me.

Just wanted to let you all know how much good the elite are doing and not just with the money saving you are all :A:A:A:A:A:A

Mhoc, I haven't read back so don't know if u are cruising or not but if u get the chance visit Cesar Manrique's lava bubble home - it s fantastic. We also went to Timanfaya and rode camels in the fire mountains, another great trip. We loved it, have fun when you get there! 😀
