I logged on this morning and thought I was on a different planet. Smogs is going on in another thread about Saturdays and waztiz or whatever now all this talk of rum and gin with stuff added, what is Angesturar for goodness sake? Anyone just had a lovely cool glass of Prosecco? It is so so hot I am off to the beach today to try and cool down, there is always a nice breeze coming across the sea Have a great Sunday everyone and take care in this heat x

I loved it M. It doesn't matter when it was streamed (I think that's the right word) There's nothing better than looking at anything Broads related no matter how old it is so thank you

Good on you Helen, I love Music. I think music enhances life and can help when you are feeling down or make you want to get up and dance around when you're feeling happy. According to my boys when I'm belting out an Ed Sheeran song in the shower it does neither for them x

Oh MM is so right, the sooner folk realise a boating holiday is exactly that and not a luxury hotel or expect all the comforts of home the better. Surely that's what us boaters want to get away from. Being afloat is the best thing ever. Hell I'd be happy in a dinghy with an umbrella and a bottle of wine x

You must be so relieved Macey is feeling better. I hope he continues to recover and you get some afloat time in too, my goodness you deserve it x

Yes Smogs I'm afraid you are right but in your defence Simon was sober when he took his pic She is a beautiful ship for sure x

Have a lovely time Lynsey and please let us no how your partner gets on with his first time afloat. If he doesn't like it don't give up boating, get a new partner x

I spent my first day back at work after the holidays settling in a bunch of four year olds in their first morning at school and an absolute delight it was too. Some of them were so tiny I'm surprised the parents could get uniforms to fit Lots of little lunch boxes with their favourite characters on them, a few tears at having to leave Mummy and Daddy but they soon settled. One little girl informed me that her Nanna has Afteritis. I found out from the parents when they collected her that Nanna had just been diagnosed with Arthritis which I kind of guessed anyway How cute and how lucky I feel to work with those little ones all day long x

I'm far too busy looking for Ian's garage to get into a sulk x

We have spent the last six weeks camping in torrential rain and hurricanes (okay, slight exaggeration but not far off) We spent a week in a caravan near Breydon water, had two nice, warm days out of seven. Now we are back at work and school tomorrow and it's ruddy summer. Just typical x

Thank you from me too, stunning photos A belated welcome aboard the Forum x

So sad. My condolences to Mikes family

If only my numbers would come up. It is such a lovely place and of course I would let all forumites moor for free, you would only have to supply a little wine I'd give Smoggy a permanent mooring, he would definitely provide the wine x

We've spent many days there on our holidays, it's one of the boys favourite moorings. I love walking along that stretch looking at the boats (being nosy) I so hope it isn't turned into flats or housing. I know everything changes in time but not always for the better x

Brilliant news Ian, I am so pleased for you and Marina, it must be a huge relief. I do believe as well as our NHS it's your pure grit, determination and bravery that got you through. Well done

So true Simon. That's why, when I'm asked what my favourite boat to hire is I really can't say because they have all been brilliant and I've fallen in love with each and every one. I remember the Sandmartin from Sanderson's Marine, sadly gone now but what an old wreck she was, I loved the aft cockpit with the canopy. The gorgeous fairly new (back when we hired her) Dancing Light from Herbert Woods, I could go on all day. I think my favourite type of boat over all though is centre cockpits or maybe even the sedans with patio doors and big aft decks or even the bathtubs which I love....... see what I mean x

The moment you drive into the boat yard and see all the hustle and bustle, the engineers and cleaners doing their thing, the engines being checked and run. The first step onto your chosen boat for a week or two and thinking to yourself as you do with all the boats you hire, this is the one I'm going to buy That first night aboard, sipping a glass of wine out on the bow as the sun sets, magical x

Oh please! Do behave x

Isn't that what debate is all about. Starting at a point and after going completely off topic end up back at the beginning Just watch Question Time in the House of Commons, this Forum and it's members are far more informed and make much more sense than that ruddy lot Good, healthy debate is fine as long as we don't get nasty x

Mum and I had the wine in the wine bar on the way home x

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but agree with you entirely. I just think we should feel proud at what the girls have achieved so far and what a brilliant bunch they are. There was a time when girls were not allowed to play football and now it's on screens all over the world and if they bring it home what a ruddy brilliant achievement to be Euro champions and world cup champions too Now the rugby thing I don't get or golf come to that although I have often thought about taking it up when I fail miserably at fishing x

I dare not say what school uniforms cost me yesterday although the final bill might have had something to do with the new shoes I added on the end x

I know some of you hate footie and would rather watch paint dry but I will be at my parents to watch it, I have had football drummed into me since I was little. I enjoy a good game and feel very proud the girls have reached the final Good luck and all the best to them and their brilliant manager Sarina. Even if they lose, they reached a World Cup Final, they should be proud of that x

I'm keeping me gob shut x

Have a great time Chris and Brenda Great itinerary x
