The drinks offerings are slightly better than the airlines, with a glass bottle and a plastic cup vs a plastic bottle and a paper cup

Depending on which ferry @kookaburra75 MV Sorrento has the onboard Portsea Lounge where you can have your tipple in a glass
Be a bit rocky today by the looks of it - enjoy!

Surfer Flyfrequently's husband did the windows at the new Sorrento terminal - just sayin' 🤭

They didn't have a lounge on the ship coming over. I'm not sure which ferry we'll get going back. MrsK says she can rough it if need be.

In the meanwhile, we're making do at the Hotel Sorrento

Slightly off-topic.

For those of you who hadn’t heard of Ted Lasso, it is on Apple TV and well worth a watch.
So son has raved about Ted Lasso and they spent their fifth wedding anniversary in Richmond last month. Amd when he's doing his work, people comment that MrP just pulled a Ted Lasso move. Ok. Didn't mean much as we hadn't seen it. We never had Apple TV until Last month. We got Apple TV. Watched the first episode. Ah. Not our thing. Tonight we tried again watched Episode 2. Then 3. We are hooked.

Ok. I'll make it relevant. This is their picture of the Ted Lasso pub in Richmond. UK.

I’m waiting for all the episodes to be released and the new slow horses and then I’ll get Apple TV for a month

I’ve been going to the lane where Ted Lasso lives for years because there’s a wonderful jeweller there and I’ve got several pairs of earrings from it

We will so have to check this out next year. Will have a bit of time in the UK. When I saw these scenes I thought it might have been filmed in their area, Tunbridge Wells, especially that square.

I have that picture of the phone booth too but DIL is posing next to it. 😂
