18.30pm Now down the Solent & rounding the IOW, Shyboy could have been waving from Hayling riverside, & Beth8it! can maybe give Em a wave in about 20mins if termites are on the beach, or if you've binocoulars or telscope see if you can spot them.

It's behind the P&O Aurora which is pure white with 1 blue funnel & is leading to Cadiz, Disney Dream has lower half navy/black & 2 red/black funnels.

Wonder what she's having for dinner & entertainment tonight?

Last year I went on a Med cruise with Viking. In what they call a "small" cruise ship, a mere 9 decks high. Still felt pretty huge though.

At one point we moored up next to one of those monster cruisers, and boy did it make our one feel titchy. It was real luxury though.

@Barrie - Most passengers are fairly Goofy.

How do🛳 passenger ships🛳 get enough fresh water?🚢 💧💦

Thanx Enver.

Knowing Emma has a sense of humour I hope she doesn't get caught taking the Mickey.

AquaDuck water coaster (a 250-yard transparent tube slide that twists, turns, and drops guests off the side of the ship over the open ocean)...seems a rather extreme disembarkation method.

Vigo, Lisbon and Funchal are three of our favourite cruise stops.

Thank you, Enver. I am looking forward to this cruise, even though I don't like big ships. Must dash now, got the grass to cut.

I also hope Em has a lovely time.

I'm glad also that the weather for the Biscay is reasonable. I've been through it in force 10 storms and it wasn't nice. I would love to do a cruise, but it's the money that worries me especially as they don't take cash on board. I do hope she has a great time.

Glad Biscay has a reasonable forecast - horrendous if the weather is bad (so I’ve heard - cruises would be worse than a stay in hospital for me).

The WIFI gets sea sick standing on a jetty, so no cruise for us :-(

That's a beautiful ship! 😚

Thanks Enver, I'm excited already.

Thank you Marie. It wasn't really important, it was just curiosity. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Chase5000, our Visit Log only shows us visits from the last two weeks, but I can see you missed a day during this time. Once you have visited for 30 consecutive days your loyalty dial will return to 100%, though as Choc Spaniel points out, it is only for fun anyway.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/81-what-is-this-loyalty-dial-all-about

Do remember that the loyalty dial is just for fun, there's no effect on your participation in the draws. It works on a 30 day basis so if by any chance you missed checking one day, it will take that much time to adjust back to 100%

Thank you. I knew it was drawn at 9am. I think I should start checking then, just in case, lol.. I generally check, until now, from 12pm. then 6pm for the £100 mini draw, then 9pm for the stackpot and check any offers/ads, etc..

The Stackpot is also drawn at 9am and is first claimed wins the prize, so best to check as soon after 9am as possible.

I thought that even checking once every day is enough to keep your loyalty score at 100%, but I may be wrong.

I think the boys will sense there is something wrong. Best wishes for your op. I hope Indi is ok.

I hope everyone gets well soon after their ops Beth.

Update - late last night Storm brought up the remains of his last meal (surprised there was anything there since breakfast) and a huge ball of grass in the garden. After that he trotted indoors and said ‘Dinner? I’m hungry!’ I wasn’t going to chance it that late - better to have him a bit hungry, but he ate his ‘toothbrush’ late-night chew, and today is doing fine. Somebody - possibly him, as I don’t think the others were off-colour - did have a poo indoors, but it was on the vinyl floor so easy to clean up and mop afterwards, and I can’t be cross with them as it’s a one-off.

This morning they went for a medium-length walk, then I shut Indi in the bedroom while the boys had breakfast, then I took her to the vet to be spayed. Ten days of lead walks coming up, and trying to keep the boys from jumping all over her. A minor complication of me having an op on Wednesday to factor in …

Get well soon, Storm.

@Beth. Storm might be better tomorrow if my recent experience is anything to go by! Our little lodger was really 'off' last Sunday night - through the night she got me up 3 times & just wandered around nibbling grass but not doing anything else. I was put out because I had a disturbed night & so I didn't fuss her & give her a doggy treat first thing on Monday morning. Letting her know I was unimpressed with her nocturnal pestering! Felt SO bad when I went to look for Bunny Bombs & it was obvious she'd been eating a LOT of grass! The grass helps a dog's digestion when they are out of sorts but I didn't realise she'd eaten so much. Obviously I made a fuss of her when I realised she'd been trying to tell me she was poorly but she was already back to her usual adorable little self. She's such a character so when she was maungy it really should have been obvious she wasn't well. I'll know another time.

I hope that Storm feels better soon and that Indi's op goes well.

I hope that Storm recovers without costing you more.

Hope he's better soon Beth, is he still picking up stones? Could he have swallowed any?

🙏🏻Storm🙏🏻

Fingers crossed that Storm will be ok in the morning Beth.

Funny both.

My bad.

I wasn't hobbling until you hit me.

😂

All hilarious. 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 very funny @help me!

A week ago, driving pell-mell,

I hit a hobbling old gazelle.

With things to do I dared not tarry;

I realise now it was deer Barrie 🙁

I am one, one of many, we are one, you will be assimilated ;-)

I shall look forward to seeing them. All the others have been good.

Thanks Marie, your a star...

I'll send them out in the next couple of days hopefully, once the weekend backlog is cleared.

Different colour collars and leads helps tremendously, and around the house I just grab an ear - Storm has really thick, soft ears, like velvet, whereas Shadow’s are thinner, like silk. Both lovely. Storm also has thicker, heavier-built legs, and occasionally - very rarely - I can see the two side by side and Shadow is definitely taller and longer.

Have you thought of ear tags? 😈

Thanks Beth, look forward to seeing them.

Looking forward, i am very muchly. Thanking you we do...

I love the photos and stories.You could easily write a book for children about them Beth.

I'll look forward to seeing how much they've grown.
