Just done a practical CPR test.
I’ve go the bloody BeeGee’s song in my head. 😅

Beautiful roses!
Bathing in sunshine!

Busy week here… back to school for yet another course to try and get ‘embark-able’. Moving in the right direction and boxes are getting ✅
Yesterday included Survival At Sea, with practice in the swimming pool.
Drove through Damme mid day (pic)
Hope you all have a great day

Good morning,
Bonjour,
Goedemorgen!

22nd April 2026

Hump-🐪-day!

#OriginalRollCall

Bosje… That’s in 5’ from now.
Hope they do a good job!

Even when you take the bias away… she’s still beautiful 😁

She’s beautiful!

Many decades ago ‘undesirables’ were simply banned to far corners of empires…
Maybe there are still such spots… like Falklands…

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

We’ve have SUPP-Os make calculation errors before and end up with less food than required and ended being replenished at sea from a US ship… pretty good; T-bones etc 😅
But what those US sailors have to cope with looks like shit… I’d hand in a transfer request for that (just to show I’m unhappy)

‘An army marches on its stomach’
Even applies to sailors… shitty food or not enough food causes grumbling…
I can confirm a ship’s chefs would get serious stick from the rest of the crew… and if not the chefs, it would be the ‘supply’ guys and girls or even the OFFR and command would hear about it…

Well… having had a great night with friends is sometimes worth the hangover…

I hope you’ll find plenty of rest and lots of water… 🤗

I don’t want to waste the time on many people anymore.

You still have hope for them then 😁

They’ve become a fairly regular issue…

A lot of these people appear to be brainless.

Been there a couple of years ago.
They had a nice oyster bar…
And several great museums… including the tank museum with a massive collection.

Wow! Bad luck that. I hope all is OK since?
3rd pic was taken near the castle, Gravensteen.

You always seem first now 😉
Wishing you all a great WE!
I’ll do a duty shift so not much walkies pics to come.
‘Away’ again next week…
Good day to all and have fun this WE!

It is a beautiful city.
Highly recommend you cross that Channel and visit a bit of Belgium.
If you’re ever in Bruges, les me know.

Good morning Mushen!
Wishing you and Beans a lovely WE.
Cloudy ATM but 18 C predicted.
Had a great day in Gent on Wednesday with a couple of local friends.
Have a good Friday.

It’s simple food;
spaghetti
Croques
Quiche
…
Indeed pretty cool that they know what you drink 😁 You’re obviously memorable.

Good morning CiF and all others!
Wet and grey morning here.
Back to work after a day off in Gent and meeting with two friends.
Quite a few tourists about.
We had a good time and I slept very well 😇
I wish you all a very good day!

My friend lives nearby So I’ve been a couple of times already.
Gery and Nancy are lovely people. And their food is good too.

We’ve had a good day and finished in Bruges, in the Papil (Sint Michiels).
On way back to Sint Pieters now. (Work tomorrow)

@bonsvoeux1.bsky.social
King’s birthday today.
I have a day off and am spending it with a few colleagues/friends in Gent.
On the Vrijdagsmarkt, Maria.

I love bluebells.
We’ve got many in the garden but they’ll still need a week or so…
OH sent a pic of the first pot of tulips starting to flower.

Good luck with the training.
Used to do this every 3 yrs for Scouting UK.

That’s very nice!
Glad you had a good time!

That is very sad indeed.
Everyone will be kicking themselves … “Why didn’t I see this?”, “why don’t I check more on him…”, “Why…”
It’s a natural thing to ask oneself those questions.
