One of the engineering firms I worked for had several customers that were on the Isle Of Wight, I remember that sometimes when I was driving through Southampton to the ferry there wold be the cruise ships moored up on my right, they reminded me of floating blocks of flats.

Mrs Tenkay said the same, she was visiting IKEA in Southampton and thought " those flats weren't there last time we came" 😅
There's a wonderful pub called the " Dancing Man" close to the Ferry terminal and a short walk from IKEA, well worth a visit ( the pub that is, not IKEA)

My parents had a pub 1/2 a mile way from the Dancing Man

Good morning fellow retirees,

It's stopped raining ☔ time to put the coffee on and gird my loins for an early run.
Lunch with daughter and granddaughter today followed by some nut checking and maintenance to the Brommie fleet.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚶‍♀️🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Good morning folks. It looks as though a half decent day has dawned, 12C, no wind and blue sky. Out on the bike at 8.00 so hopefully that will remain the case.

No.1 and No.3 sons plus partners home for a birthday tea for the oldest. He doesn't seem too chuffed over being 34.

No.2 son is not allowed to come as we have not been risk assessed - you'll recall No.2 son has Supported Living in the Community. The parent of another client at the house complained allowing my lad home was a threat to her son's health. This happened three weeks ago an hour before he was due home for my birthday.

We understand the point of view but this has opened the biggest can of worms you can imagine. The organisation which provides the care state a risk assessment is required. We are not arguing with this but have asked if they intend to produce a single blanket risk assessment and provide guidelines or does each individual outing to wherever have to be assessed. Will every Rovers home game need an RA? Hmmmmm.....

Huge can of worms raising major questions in the long-term.

Anyway. Congratulations to @Dave7 on the birth of his first tomato. Have you named him/her?
