As some of my regular blog readers have surmised, Sue and I went on a cruise over Christmas. As a result, for the past twelve days I’ve been pretty well incommunicado except when in port and able to access the internet and my emails on my iPhone. (I could have ‘bought’ a Wi-Fi package onboard, but at minimum cost of £14.00 per day for a very basic service, I didn’t think that it was value for money.)
I would therefore like to apologise to anyone who reads my blog and whose comments might not have had a reply yet as well as to those of you who have sent me emails to which I have yet to respond. Likewise, I have a long list of blogs that I need to catch-up on, and this is something I hope to do over the next few days.
One good thing; I’ve returned from the cruise with a very positive feeling about doing some wargaming and wargame-related activity, and as soon as we have finished our unpacking, the inevitable washing of the clothes that we wore, and putting the luggage away, I am itching to get upstairs to my toy/wargame room.
In the meantime, I hope to upload a blog post about our cruise as soon as I can … and for those of you who like their food, what we ate will be featured quite heavily in it!

Welcome back to the wargames room, Bob!
ReplyDeleteDavid in Suffolk,
DeleteCheers! I actually managed to spent an hour in my toy/wargame room today ... and thoroughly enjoyed myself!
All the best,
Bob
Good to hear that you are feeling more positive about wargames again, Bob. My 'wargame room' (ie the spare room in which my wargame things - far fewer than you possess, I'm sure - are stored) is currently covered by books and boardgames I'm trying to sell online for Swansea Cats & Kittens, so no chance of setting up a battle at the moment...
ReplyDeleteI wish you and Sue a very Happy New Year!

DeleteThe break really had helped to reinvigorated me mentally and physically.
I suspect that if we move, my 'new' wargame room will not be as large as my present one ... and I may well be asking you for some tips on how to wargame on a smaller scale!
All the best,
Bob

Welcome back to Blighty, Bob! 😁🇬🇧. Glad you had a good break, and a fruitful recharging of those mojo batteries….👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
ReplyDeleteMartin S.,
DeleteCheers! It was great to go somewhere warmer and sunnier than the UK … and the time I spent relaxing onboard has certainly re-energised me.
Have a great New Year,
Bob
Welcome back! It's good to get away from time to time. It Often helps you to get a fresh perspective.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteCheers! A break from our normal routine plus the excellent food that we ate made both of us feel so much better … and I’ve come back with a few ideas that I want to develop.
All the best,
Bob
I can't wait to see what you've come up with.
DeleteSounds like the cruise has done you a power of good Bob. What a great way to end the year! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNundanket,
DeleteThe cruise really has helped Sue and I to recharge our physical and mental batteries.
Have a great New Year,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteI certainly look forward to reading about your cruise. I think part of the main reason for cruising is the food on offer- always great. I do like the 24hr Bistro where you can have a variety of food throughout the day and night- on our cruise I often skipped a proper tea in the restaraunt in order to have a choice of food from the Bistro. All the best. KEV.

DeleteYou won’t have to wait too long to read my cruise post. I’ve finished drafting it and hope to upload it on Friday.
Sue and I ate in the specialist select dining restaurants several times … and the quality of the food we ate was exceptionally good.
All the best,
Bob
