Sounds like a wonderful cruise!

I can recommend blinds2go service - providing you follow their guidelines to measuring they are great And they were available on tcb or quidco, too. We've used them 3x now, I think x

Hiya Karma - long time no visit - I will do better 😊. Another one here who hunkers down in bad weather.  I’ve got a tricky, country road commute so I’m always so relieved when the weather is bad and I can just stay at home.
Yey to your cruise - I’ve never been but have always wanted to give it a try.  Looking forward to your reviews and recommendations ! PP xx

Well impressed that you got out to the supermarket KC.  The weather here as been fierce & the wind coming down the chimney so fierce that inside doors slammed shut & we thought we were going to take off and land in Oz

We decided to hunker down inside today!   Power has cut out 5 times, but come back in a few minutes each time...  Much better than last Sunday, when we were without power for four hours due to a tree coming down on the line.

Thanks apple!  It's all those teensy little islands off the west coast of Africa - I can't wait!  To add context, there's quite a few days at sea - there's entertainments laid on, but I may take some knitting

Hi sweetie!  I've popped on to your diary, but only posted that one hello Country roads must be difficult in this weather - flooding from the fields and whatnot.  Cruises are great, given my low energy levels - my hotel travels around, so to speak   This one is really teensy, 800 passengers is absolutely nothing - there are plenty of the new ones holding 4000 passengers nowadays.

It wasn't really a big deal I checked at the Met Office, and the max gusts were 30mph or so at that time, thats okay.  Very soon after, it was up to 50k, then 60.  But blimey, it sounds *very* fierce round your way - slamming doors!  And power cuts, yikes!  I'm going to bed pretty early tonight - if I'm safely tucked in bed, I won't mind a power cut, ha.  Hope you're comfy too.

I was thinking about the measuring!  I'm rubbish at that, ha, so I'd definitely measure three times.  They sound a really good firm, with some really good products, I'm looking forward to sorting that.

ETA - don't know why the quote system didn't work the same way, I did the same thing, honest!

The new quote thing is a bit weird sometimes, I've found! x

Cruise sounds good

It does, doesn't it, beanie!  I went to Lisbon and La Coruna on a school cruise when I was 14, but I've not been to any of the other places.  And I've no objection to returning to places I went to at that age

I've been tidying, again, and I've added up the food receipts for the tax year 2018-19: a bit more than I thought, £120 a month - gluten free pasta is comparatively expensive, and so is pesto, oops - I can live with that, though I'd like to do better.

My French accountant has emailed me asking if I still want them to do my accounts, more oops ... so I really, really need to sort that tomorrow, right after the healthy walk.

Sleep well all!

Hope you slept well Karma. It looks like the storm has blown itself out here at last, so hope it has with you too, ready for your walk!
