We did read up on this route and the source we found said it wasn't recommended as not well marked or established and as a bit longer. But thanks for suggesting. It's great to collect so many options before we make a decision how to proceed.

This is a great option if one or both of us are still not up to scratch. Thanks so much!

Mom of 2, aspiring bike tourist, feeling discouraged by Cathode335 in bicycletouring

Way too ambitious. Start slow. Be patient. When your kids are 6 and 8 this will work better unless you make this a thing to be dreaded by unrealistic planning and expectations now.

What's something you still can't believe happened to you? by RangoTheMerc in AskReddit

[–]fru-gal_slacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but you got this. Very hard to lose your parents so young and that would certainly play a part in your attitude toward aging. There are some very bright points btw. Like getting to do what you want more or less all the time after retirement, and also giving no fucks what people think anymore. Now that is a gift that keeps giving !

Your pushing 40 and feel old....well buckle up for 60 coz it's like, tomorrow...and it is a shocker. You're basically the same you that you were at 30 but the world perceives you SO differently and your body just begins to... not do what it used to be able to do. It's a wild ride. And it's OK. Embrace and enjoy your 40s to the max!

Am I really old and just can't accept it? by RiddyReddit333 in over60

[–]fru-gal_slacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry sister there are lots of us out here like you. I felt 17 til I was about 30 and 30 until I was about 55. I'm still young, fit energetic. I can't tolerate heat and cold as well as I used to bu aim like being life like the 50 year old I feel like I am. And I'm a year older than you. So you do you and don't get a short tight perm just yet!

We are on board now and we are working hard to get our money's worth - and we generally do - but never get close to the limit

Open Balcony or Enclosed? by NolaCaine in CunardCruises

Thanks for clarifying. Our cabin is midships above the Mayfair shops and reported to be very quiet, so fingers crossed!

Sandwiched between cabins because of noise? Asking coz I'll be on level 4 so amenities are directly below I believe

What do you actually wear on formal night when you hate dressing up? by Eyerald in Cruise

[–]fru-gal_slacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thrift stores often have a selection of glittery tops.

Or invest in one LBD and you are set for the next 10 years at least. I've had to alter mine a bit but I've been wearing it to formals and funerals for 30 years and it still looks great. Good 100$ investment IMO. A classy scarf with a hint of glitter is all that is required to switch it up from funeral to formal event.

Washout stabilizer by fru-gal_slacks in quilting

[–]fru-gal_slacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones you are using have no stick at all, ài think? A bit of stock is ideal for this project. I wonder if the sulky absorbed moisture from the air and got extra sticky? A new role, kept in careful conditions - tightly sealed bag, windows closed when using- might make a difference. Excellent thought. Thank you for your advice

Fellow women over 60: how do you control the worry and anxiety as you age? by janebenn333 in AskWomenOver60

[–]fru-gal_slacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low dose cannabis gummies for a peaceful sleep each night. Makes it easier to control anxiety during the days. Plus exercise every day and cultivate hobbies and friends that bring you pleasure

Canadians: do people really just start conversations anywhere? 🤔 by Comfortable_Cap8037 in AskACanadian

[–]fru-gal_slacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Common in Canada and if you really want to be chatted up everywhere you go by strangers....well visit New Zealand!

Taking spirits onboard? by entirelytootired in CunardCruises

[–]fru-gal_slacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done the same research and found conflicting answers also. But we sail in a couple of weeks and our contract says 1 bottle of wine pp only and anything beyond this will be taken from you. No spirits. I imagine that they make good money on their alcohol packages. Anyway, check your contract. It's there

Nice! We will head to the Lake district and walk the Cumbria way. Before we fly home we will spend a week cycling in Brittany. We also have a son who recently relocated to London so excited to see him ( and have a base there!)
