We have booked our summer holiday

a cruise round the Scottish Islands in a small boat

My wife is thinking of taking her dominos - she used to play in a proper team

she says we can play on the boat and if another couple want we could have a foursome

to be honest I didn;t think it was that kind of a cruise!!
Why did I think of the word Oars when I read small boat.

And there was me thinking of small boat, p*ssing down and they're all playing topless dominos.
It might be a new trend ^_^

Just watching an episode of Ambulance on the TV

so far they have had 3 calls off road and they have asked them to install what3words to find their location

so - just in case - I have done that now so if I fall off I can tell them quickly

and if I come across someone in trouble I can get their location easily as well


Just thought I would mention it as a lot of people on here might benefit from it if something happened

Saw our travel agent yesterday. We are booked on a Danube and Rhine cruise from Budapest leaving MEL on May 10.
Anyway our original carrier Quatar has cancelled so we are rebooked on Singapore Air which avoids the Middle East but it is costing an additional AUD 4,000 for the two of us. Thank you Donny T!

That's a lot of extra dosh, especially when you dont expect it.

A quick good morning. Woke ar 4, enjoyed a pee and decided to stay up. I cant go back as the decorator is coming at 07.30. He is rectifying a cockup which means re-staining a door. He was recommended by 3 different people on FB. He worked hard and was early every day but honestly, in my younger days I did better/neater work than him.

Morning. Up reasonably early too. I should probably head out soon for a wander as there’s rain due soon.

I can’t get into Wordle this morning for some reason but was getting bored with it anyway so no sad loss. I usually just played direct on the website without an account but it’s not working today.

Cancel that, it’s now up and running again so I will persevere and do it again. :laugh:

I broke down in the truck on the live lane on a dangerous stretch of road. Phoned the police to warn them and they asked me for a 'what3words' to send a couple of cars to close the nearside lane.

It's well worth installing IMHO
