    Aloha everyone,

    I'm still working on getting my sister and hubby home and they have finally got confirmation of a flight and should be at Heathrow on Tuesday - ten days later than scheduled. They thought they were never going to get home as their ship wasn't being allowed to dock anywhere. They have no virus on board and have, effectively, been in quarantine for two weeks - although nobody on the ship has needed to be confined to cabin. So they have had an bonus cruise, which is excellent apart from all the worry.

    Let's hope the flights will still be allowed. :fingers crossed: Although they were never scheduled to touch the U.S. (they've been touring Argentina, Chile and Peru) they are now on their way to fly home from Miami. Trump (Homeland Security) have given them a 'get out of jail free' card as he wants the foreigners out of the country. Miami is the ship's home port. They had to get their ESTA (U.S. visa) online as they didn't need one originally. I reckon they will be bussed straight from the ship to the airport.

    I've got to organise their return from Heathrow. :doh:

    Keep well and safe :)

    Aloha!

      That good news to start the day with @shiney !!:hapydancsmil:

      Off to the cemetery now to give Mum some flowers then to my sister's to cut her hair. I'm going to let her have a go at cutting mine too:yikes::yikes:, so that she can take over in case my friend (ex colleague) decides not to carry on for a while. My hair grows so quickly and needs cutting every 6 weeks. Wish me luck.....hope she puts that pudding bowl away!!!!! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            Good day
            It's still pitch here and the thermometer is shivering at 19f and the television says it is -8c. I have issues about thinking in Celsius.. The weather guessers have promised me a sunny day so at least there's that to look forward to and I plan to get outside for the afternoon.

            @shiney I'm glad your relatives can get back to England but was curious why they couldn't get home the same way as planned for their original return date? Did something change and stop the rails?:yikes:

            Today is linen laundering and whatever else hasn't been through the machines this week. I'm making a loaf of gluten free bread and going to finish cleaning the main floor. And of course, my beloved Corrie is on this morning - all of this weeks 6 episodes. :)

            I hope everyone has as nice a day as I plan to have and many happy birthdays!

                The deal they had with their travel agent was to get them their airport transfers as well but the agents haven't said anything about it yet. I've also just this moment received an email from them saying they are reluctant to have an unknown person drive them home because they don't know who he may have been in contact with. I've been discussing it with their daughter and they said they will do it but then shall have to self isolate for a week (instead of distancing themselves). :sad:

                  Good morning everyone, @shiney, I hope it all works out for them and you. Have a good day everyone, the sun is up already and I am missing my dog walking. Poor Amber confined to the back garden. She is missing all her doggy friend smells.
                  Stay safe and well. God bless.:wub2:

                    Good morning @moyra and to all others.:)

                    What breed of dog is Amber, is she a type that requires a really good walk or a smaller less energetic one that can be satisfied by a mooch around in the garden ?

                    Well my hair cut went absolutely fine yesterday, I did all the front half myself and that left my sister to have to deal only with the back bit which was easy for her to do .
                    Phew!!!!!

                    Lovely day here again so off into the garden I will be going after the indoor chores are done.

                    Keep very safe and have a great day.:hapflowers2:

                                Good day everyone and Happy Birthday @Flumpy !
                                It is snowing. There is an accumulation of about 3 inches so far. :doh:But, what is great is that I got most of the leaves gathered from around the raised beds and on the lawn yesterday. Still had the side yard to do along the fence but that will have to wait. And my heater is doing great and is keeping the greenhouse up around the 47f mark. :blue thumb:

                                The indoor set up containers got watered and I pulled the soil blocks that should have had seeds germinating but didn't. Naughty lavender seeds never hatched so will sow anew.

                                I've got the job of going through all of my cans of paint on my to do list today and good timing to be working inside because of the snow. I'll pack up the cans that are of zero use and jar up any paint that can be used for touch ups around the house and pack up those cans too. They'll all go to the hazardous waste disposal. I've got some chairs to go to the good will as well. It is supposed to be nicer by Wednesday and I can go by the waste place on the way to the docs that morning.

                                @moyra I hope you manage to get out soon. You must suffer from cabin fever when you get confined like that. :sad:

                                Have a super day everyone and many happy birthdays!
