Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. No stars out to play. We're in for some rain today, or so the weather app on my wee Kindle says. Rather today than tomorrow.
Just the usual running around today, then the mammoth task of tidying my desk, can't see the top of it. That's a couple of hours taken care of!
Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning all.

Good morning, WBM. I broke up for leave yesterday. Building Inspector is coming round this morning, fingers crossed we'll get the green light.

OH finishes at 12:30 on Fridays. We'll probably go and look at stuff this afternoon - kitchens, bathrooms, tiles ... that sort of stuff.

I'm off the Krakow Tuesday, with Aushwitz booked for Wednesdsy.

And Stinkit is in a good mood this morning! xxx

[waterboatman]

Morning danny.

Morning CG xxx Lovely to see you, as always.
I hope the inspector is in a good mood!
Enjoy Krakow. You'll be horrified by Aushwitz. But I think everyone should see it, or any of the other death camps.

stinkit is getting to be a big lad now!

[LadyCG]

Stinkit is getting a tad assertive. If he wants something, he's not afraid to show it.

He's 19 months old today ... where the hell has time gone?!

[waterboatman]

Tempus fugit CG! He'll be borrowing your car before you know it!

Good morning all looks like a reasonable day here. LadyCG I'd be very interested to hear what you think about Krakow as we are hoping to go in May next year. OH has located a hotel called Grodek which is on the edge of the old town which looks good.

morning all xx

[LadyCG]

Sorry, Morning Danny!

WBM, regarding the death camps, I agree. I am reading a lot of books and watching various docuseries at the moment on the holocaust, rise and fall of the Nazis and the survivorship and resettlement of the Jews. Far from being a 'sick, perverted tourist" I am actually interested in every aspect of that part of history and believe the horrors of that age, the losses and sacrifices of the brave and the persecuted should never be forgotten.

Morning margo. xxx
Krakow is on my wish list.

[LadyCG]

Morning, Minty. Great to see you xx

Margo, we're staying between the old town and the Jewish Quarter. I'll let you know what my accommodation was like when I get back.

A friend at work went a couple of months ago and she absolutely loved it. She lent me her pocket guide. I can't wait to sample the pierogi ...

morning Lady xx have a great wee holiday..never been to the camps, think I would find it overwhelming

Morning all, the sun is shining through the rain on the window, autumn's here.

[MargoTester]

That would be great, it's always good to get first hand information from someone who's been. We go on a city break in May with the other members of our guiz team (the old gits) Prague,Budapest, Lisbon, Madrid, Seville and Split so far. Krakow has been on the list for a while now and Wizz Air have just started flying there from our local airport so now is the time.
Hello Minty I hope you're feeling better

[murraymints]

morning Douglas xx it is wild here ! quite high wind and rain

[murraymints]

morning Margo xx getting there ta!

[waterboatman]

CG well done. When I was stationed in Germany I often took visiting parties to Bergen Belsen. Horrific is the only word to describe the inhumanity that humanity is capable of.

[waterboatman]

Morning minty xxx lovely to have you back. you've been missed!

[murraymints]

morning Boaty xx ta...

[waterboatman]

You're welcome. xxx :o}

[LadyCG]

That's interesting, Margo. Which out of those would you say was your favourite? And which would you recommend for those who like sightseeing, cuisine, scenery, atmosphere, etc?

I will certainly report back on Krakow and I highly recommend you add Munich to the list. We came back 6 weeks ago and it was an amazing place.
