New Restrictions.

[Karen]

Yes beds everywhere

Thank you

[Rod]

Thanks Rod, I thought this thread needed balance.

180 is NOT open, nothing to do with the virus it would not have opened anyway.
Shame because we liked it there for after beach G&Ts

Cheers Benson.

Can I just say I respect everyone's idea of a holiday and I hope you respect mine. At home we are just pensioners with a quiet life. I'm a 63 year old grandma, who likes to let her hair down on holiday. I love dancing with my friends in the Condor, can't even do that, I gather. It's not about needing to drink, it's about socialising with friends who also like to be out after midnight without the fear of turning into a pumpkin, so enjoy your holidays everyone!

There's no age limit on having fun Karen, haven't you heard 60 is the new 40 so that makes you 43, you're young.  If you can't throw caution to the wind and have a good time once or twice a year on holiday when can you?

[Karen]

Haha! Thanks Dupnica, I'm  very pleased to hear that! I'll get my dancing shoes ready for next year

Well Karen when my best mate and I reached 40 we decided that being a grown-up was overrated and decided that for future birthdays we would take a year off instead, as a result we're both 20. Feels much better than 60 and occasionally our old 20 year olds make an appearance

Haha! I quite like being 63...but I can regress to being 20 quite easily...given the chance

Karen, we hope you and partner are well.  My wife and I have braved a storm tonight for a family birthday meal at a local lovely restaurant, In attendance were my son, partner and three grandsons.  All my grandsons were "armed" with their smartphones so the conversation was minimal.  We came home frustrated by their lack of communication but we never said anything to cause confrontation.  It's not the kids fault, it's the parents in my opinion.

Well I hope you had some kind of a good evening Rod! It would hiss me off as well, but I do think we have to try to understand "the different world" us older (still over 40 in my mind) folk live in. Just enjoy seeing them.

My point being, I am also 63.  Why I chose to disclose my evening meal details is anyone's guess.  Lockdown?

[geordieborn]

Too much of that nice vino likely, but I do hope you did enjoy your evening...

Thanks geordieborn.  I feel when I see my grandkids that I am chastising all the time instead of hugging them and telling stories (I'm great at stories).  It's just that my son and his partner seem ambivalent to what is happening to their children.

I'll check that out next year Jim! 

[Karen]

We're good thanks Rod. Gosh rough night to be out! I am strict when it comes to phones, our grandchildren have to turn them off when they come in our home.Yes difficult when you're out, but I would not be happy.  Take care both
