Re: Off around the planet again on Sunday.
Hi Vernon.
I have tried to send a PM to you but it does not recognize your name.
so here it is,...................
.Hi Vernon we will be in Sydney on Tuesday 5 March, I will be seeing my Niece on that day as it is the first time I have seen her since her Dad, my Brother, died. She lives 100 miles south of Sydney past Lake Illawarra.
and on Wednesday 6 March we will be in Sydney all day until we sail , back on board at 5pm so we are free that day.
Be good to see you again
Cheers
Brian

Re: Off around the planet again on Sunday.
I will be glad to get away, Deep Snow now in Bolton, what happened to Global Warming?
it is freezing and snowing quite heavily..
just been out to feed the Fox, he wanted to come into the house, had to tell him No, Foxes live outside. Felt sorry for him with snow all over his fur,
Just gave him a Chicken carcass, to chew on.
Hope it does not affect the Planes.

Re: Off around the planet again on Sunday.
Brian if you get bored sitting on the ship all day, you could always get then to take compass errors every 6 hours or so , and be able to give us an account of the magnetic variation in different parts of the world. This would settle the argument once and for all. The sun or one of the cheap tabloids might even pay you for. Cheers JS
