Looks fab! Have you ever been to any of the biblical sites in Israel?

@ColinUK
yes we have, Garden of Gethsemane, The river Jordan, The church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mount of Olives, Wailing Wall and we were the on Palm Sunday to watch the parade coming down the hill shouting hosanna. Quite amazing!
 
Today on waking was 3.9 which is bottom limit for me but last month average on waking is 5.5. Yay 😛
My daily target range to stay between is 3.9 to 10 which I hit 65% or > per rolling month.

Morning all
A 6.0 this morning on this slightly damp morning.
However our 'virtual' cruise day 5 sees us docking at Kusadasi (Turkey) for our trip inland to Ephesus where its due to be 36 degrees!
Ephesus, famous for its ruins of the Temple of Artemis (pictured) and the whole area is of Biblical importance where Paul visited the Ephesian church to preach and encourage. We have been there twice before and the whole place is fascinating and very atmospheric. Who knew that its 12 miles from the port and yet in ancient times was by the sea!

I'm loving the virtual cruise. Somewhere new to look forward to every day
 
Morning all,
A 5.7 on the meter this morning a Heinz Special!
Well on day #5 of our Silver Fox virtual cruises we find ourselves in the port of Piraeus for Athens.
Now Piraeus is a very busy commercial port full of all manner of cargo and cruise vessels. I remember our first visit there in 2000 where we were due to disembark to fly home and I looked out the window and it was like the M25 for ships! Our coach driver to the airport said there was so much road traffic too and from the port area, we might be tight on time for the flight home. We made it...
Pireaus has a pretty side too so I have shown a picture of that.
Athen would be our trip of choice today and if you want more history, then you have the Acropolis and the Parthenon to choose from but sometimes its good to ferret out the unusual to see in these big cities.
For instanceyou could go and buy a pair of sandals from the Monastiraki flea market where Stavros Melissinos makes sandals and quotes poetry to you. He has made them for the likes of Sophia Loren, the Beatles and Jackie Onassis. There you go...
Or maybe you just want to try greek street food such as falafel or go and have your photo taken with an Evzone, the greek guards wearing national dress. Whatever you choose today its going to be 32 degrees so slip slap slop!

Morning All, It's a 6.1 from me today (so I'm still in the 6's then )
 
5.6 today. And judging by the noise outside the bin van has just trundled down the road spreading joy as it goes. And leaving a trail of recycling box lids behind it.

Love Athens, we spent three days there a few years ago then onto Piraeus for a ferry to Naxos. I have never seen such vehicle carnage! We watched from the top deck, it was fascinating. Enjoy!
 
Morning, and guess what? It’s raining, again! That’s it for 40 days and 40 nights now! So nowt new there then! 6.5 for me today. Having a day off as my feet are sore after a 10.5 mile walk yesterday. I need new walking shoes, I have new leather walking boots but they are too hot this time of year, so wore my five year old walking shoes which are past their best. Off to Keswick next week to replace them before our holiday. Reading and chilling today. Have a good St Swithin’s Day and don’t forget to change your lancet. I forgot so will have to wait until next year now! 😉

5.6 . Have a good day everyone, 2 more get ups until the weekend. Yay!!!
 
Morning all, 5.3 or 6.8 here, depending on whether you choose the 6.30am or 7.30am reading. I woke early, tested, and went back to sleep.
It had better stay dry today, we have booked timed slots to visit a National Trust garden, and when we booked them the weather forecast was better than it is now.
 
Morning

Well mum's still not getting her jacket washed and hung out, tents gone from the green but weather doesn't look promising so never mind 🙄

6.0 for me today and a little annoyed at Bruce, seems he can't copy a shopping list from his phone to a bit of paper without missing things off it!

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx

Well it’s certainly a weight off the top of my head! It was great, my hairdresser works on her own from a studio attached to her house, and had her big door into the garden open the whole way through. Only other difference (besides the masks) was that OH and I drive over and get done together, and this time one of us had to sit in the car while the other was being sheared, so poor hairdresser probably got the same gossip twice in a row.
 
Morning all, lazy day yesterday so another disappointing reading of 7.4. Weather better today so probably better do the carpets today. Not much else to report except we would have been coming home from Tenerife today. Have a good day all xx
Congrats on the HS @Bloden
 
07:49 BS 6.6🙂 It was cold last night & a chilly tripto the bathroom & back for my test! Shivering emoji!

I have a tesco shopping coming later today, 17:00 to 18:00 & since my freezer is still pretty packed from 04/07/20 there’s not one frozen item: brought it forward basically for JB’s; all soup, bread, ham & chicken for sandwiches, fresh sea bass AND of course a big 400g box of Jelly Babies! I haven’t eaten bread in about a month now & rather looking forward to it: I go through phases with bread, & sandwiches, & can go long periods in between eating it!🙄

BUT, what to do till then? 🙄 I’ll have to set an alarm, I’ve just realised, as I usually go to bed then!😱 It’s greyish, quite cool day so, it’s a duvet day in bed while reading!😛 I’m onto book 4, that’s the last one I posted 5 earlier by mistake, of Anne McCaffrey's Catteni sequence Freedom’s Ransom which is rather a book too far & anticlimactic as the humans & Catteni had actually teamed up together & got rid of the REAL bad guys, ordering the Catteni to do their dirty work, The Eosi in the 3rd. & previous book Freedom’s Challenge!🙄 But, it’s ok ish as everybody decides to stay on Botany rather than return to their various home planets. But, they need to get a whole pile of supplies that they barter for with, of all things, Earth, or Terran as they’re called by all the alien races, coffee: namely rich Arabica roast coffee beans; I find it hilariously funny that Earth gets the rest of the galaxy addicted to strong black coffee!:D😛😎 There are various trips to & back from Earth: specifically to Africa; engaging Masai warriors to grow the coffee beans!

I’m finding it very nostalgic re reading all of these Anne McCaffrey, Science fiction & not so much the fantasy, books again on kindle as they were a huge chunk of my teen years & young adulthood when I read them the very first times: even more so as there’ll never be any more as “the green eyed dragon lady of Pern” as she was known as by her fans, even though I was never into that whole series at all, passed away in 2011 having lived the last 30 years in County Wicklow in Ireland; originally from Cambridge Massachusetts in the US. :(😛😎🙂

Anyways, after another long winded ramble, I wish you all a very Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day!😉
