Even though the FaceTime didn't go too well, it was nice to speak to you. Even if you did sound like Norman Collier!

The shot of your armpit at one stage was quite amusing too

June, it's hard not to have fun on a cruise!

Having spoken to Janet I decided I should have another look at your blog and see you are at the Cook Islands and it is wet. Was the same when we were there so it is not global warming!!! Glad you are still having fun.

Having a wonderful time Janet. Not reading any emails to do with the stripey building!

Hi Mick. Saw June today. Only just discovered your blog. Sounds like you are having the brilliant time you were expecting. You're not missing much at the stripey building. I'll keep up with your progress now. Janet x

Ain't it just Gareth, ain't it just. And with a British stamp too

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for my birthday card - wonderful postal service from the Pacific!

Thanks guys, had a good birthday, some alcohol(!) and no complaints. Some folks have been ill, but the dreaded norovirus has kept well away.

birthday? it's your birthday?!? Michael -
Happy, Happy Happy!!!
wish I could be there to buy you an alcoholic beverage.

Happy birthday, Michael. I'm sure by the time you read this a G&T (or two!) will have been taken!

Hope you enjoy (ed) your day.

It's the 13th here - no idea what date it is with you - so Happy Birthday anyway! I guess the 13th is unlikely to be an alcohol free day! Enjoy your day - and at least this time you get to celebrate it.
Listening to the radio locally yesterday the consumer programme was dealing with an unsatisfied P&O customer. Everybody had been ill on his cruise - which P&O said was because everyone on the cruise was old, didn't wash their hands and spread germs - so beware! P&O compensated him by giving him a day cruise to Newcastle - but he had to find his own way back! Not a happy man.

Kathy, I'm loving it. Soooo glad I decided to take another long voyage.
