So you'll be ships that pass in the night.

Boom boom.

Arcadia. I think we're going the other way round - we are in Antigua on 28/12 and you are there on the 29th, Tortola on 29/12 and you are there on 27th then St Maarten on 20/12 and you on 28th. We are both in Barbados on New Years Day but I suppose that is your disembarkation day. Enjoy it anyway

My flight home is not until the 2 January so we will be in Barbados on the same day - see you in the bar

I understand David is treating us all

There's a beach-type bar right outside the dock gate. I'll have a Red Stripe

Red stripe? Too much sun without proper protection?

I know, it's especially uncomfortable is your shorts are hanging a bit low !!

Off topic and off taste??

No. Checking back - sunburn / red stripe / beach bar / Barbados / cruise ships / Christmas cruise

Nothing tenuous there at all

Now, taste.....that's a different matter entirely !

So pleased you enjoyed your visit to Chatsworth OBF. Had we have known, a couple of us from here could have met you for a drink - then again, that's probably why you kept it quiet

He's probably heard about your previous boozy get-togethers, so it's hardly surprising, now, is it ?! A ModPlod has a reputation to maintain !

We love Chatsworth and did Christmas there a couple of years back. Never tire of visiting and I was privileged to meet and chat to the late Dowager Duchess a few years ago. A lovely lady.

I always speak of you and the Mitford Girls in the same breath, Merv !!

Four weeks today is Christmas Day
Not according to my calendar Jo it's on a Friday - you are not celebrating early are you
A friend just happened to say to me yesterday 'four weeks today is Christmas Day' so I took her at her word I never know what day it falls on as I'm usually on a ship, celebrating early .. you bet I am in fact I'm packing as we speak in readiness for a month away
Have a great time Jo - this is my first Christmas cruise and I've been trying dresses on and making a list of what to take - only problem is it being a fly cruise so weight restrictions. Getting a wee bit excited now and so is the family - my granddaughters can't wait. Will be catching up with my cruise buddy Jenni and husband Steve too

Thanks Jan you too and Maureen and Cubie and anyone else on a Christmas cruise, you will have a ball

You're not alone, though, Spuddy - I counted three gardens lit up like Blackpool sea front on my way home yesterday !

Enjoy your day(s) decorating the house. I was going to do ours on Tuesday, but it is actually more convenient to do it on Sunday, so that is when I plan to do it.

Like you, I have a couple of Christmas CDs, a bottle of something celebratory chilling and I might even open some of the mince pies............it's Chrissssstmas!

Well, forget the commercial side to it anyway

I wonder which company will be the first to produce an 'improved' advent calendar - with an extra week added!

Why not go the whole hog and do a "Pre-Advent" version for November ?

Now you're just being silly. Who, in their right mind, wants Christmas to start before June ??!
