We are booked on a river cruise in May, which is looking unviable both with the new government advice for the elderly, and the fact that Slovakia has closed its borders, so that’s the day in Bratislava gone, and Budapest has closed all its public buildings. Vienna will probably follow suit, if it hasn’t already. What our tour company is offering at the moment is the chance to rearrange the cruise for later in the year, but not into next year. Crystal ball, anyone?You’re a one-man band @khskel. 😎 😛
Morning folks.🙂 3.9 here.
Aw, looks like my mum’s cruise won’t be going ahead then - at 84, I think she falls into the ‘elderly passenger’ category (in body, not in mind). Hope she gets her money back!
It’s a shame but for the best I suppose but still disappointing for you. I’ve a BIG birthday coming up next month and Mr Eggy asked me what I wanted to do, holiday wise, I always think April is a funny month for holidays as it’s Easter and the weather isn’t the best in the countries I’d like to visit so I opted for the Isle of Arran, which I’m hoping will be ok unless they close the ferries down! My last BIG birthday was at the time of the volcanic ash crisis and, again, luckily, I chose Windermere. Mr Eggy’s BIG birthday is in June but we’d already decided to go away to the Greek Islands in September. Fingers crossed it’s all over by then. PS there’s a spare bedroom in our beach front cottage in Arran. 😉We are booked on a river cruise in May, which is looking unviable both with the new government advice for the elderly, and the fact that Slovakia has closed its borders, so that’s the day in Bratislava gone, and Budapest has closed all its public buildings.

Robin I have just Skyped my friend in Vienna and he said everything is open at the moment but surrounding countries are blocking their borders.🙄Vienna will probably follow suit, if it hasn’t already
Good morning a 5.1 that’ll do 🙂
Keeping well away from the Gold Cup day mayhem in town and will head the other way on my daily crutches hobble step count!
Just checking bus timetables to Arran @eggyg😉
Have the best day you can 🙂
Ted, the things you’ll do to have women fuss over you. Hope you’re feeling better today. As for the cardi, hmmm....I’m good at lots of things but knitting ain’t one of them. I might manage a scarf, a Dr Who type as I don’t know how to finish them off!Good morning 5.7 on a muggy morning,🙄 didn`t post yesterday a day of hypo`s even had to be brought home from the beach by two nurses just out for a stroll. They must of realised something was wrong with all of the buzzards & vulture's circling overhead waiting for a chance to strike at this inert body, I think the seagulls would get there first.Well I would like to thank both of the ladies who made sure I got home ok and stayed with me for an hour to make sure I was ok.🙂

Good rant @Grannylorraine although it does sound very unfair.😡
Can you knit me a cardigan while you are on Arron @eggyg.🙂
Have a good day folks weather not looking good for the weekend, take any sun you can get but stay safe.🙂
I can understand why you are so angry . Have you got an HR dept you can go to ?6.2 this morning which I am really pleased with considering the last thing I ate yesterday was a 200g bar of dairy milk. I had had a sh*t day at work where all my male colleagues have been told to work from home starting today, I was not included in the list (someone forwarded the email to me so I knew as part of my role as admin for the team), I emailed our boss in Germany asking if I had been missed off as an oversight, or was I not included and was expected to come into the office (open plan with a capacity of 300 when everyone is in). As far as I know none of my colleagues have diabetes, 1 has asthma. My boss has completely ignored me, so I am guessing I am expected into the office until the whole company declares we are in a business continuity situation. He did however send me an email saying that he hoped he could rely on me to phone the UK team to advise the if the company does declare a business continuity situation, and that could be an evening or weekend, so he wants me to make myself available for unpaid work if it falls on an evening or weekend, to call people who are already working from home to tell them to work from home. Part of me also thinks it is a money saving thing as guess which one of us doesn't have a company fuel card, which is based on my grade. Plus all the guys in the team told me to stop panicking and stressing as in their words you will be fine with coming in to the office the risk is low, so if the risk is low for me, surely the risk is low for them as well. So today the man I sit next to can work from home, but I have to be in the office.
Sorry rant but I can't put any of this on Facebook and eating the chocolate hasn't changed any of that, but when my hubby was leaving work he asked if I needed anything on the way home, I said the biggest bar of chocolate he could get, not expecting him to bring some in, but once it was there and my combination of anger and tears I gave in.
