| Saturday 30/12/2017 | Arrived at The Mercure Hotel in Bristol. En route we stopped for FIVE hours in Worcester where we did a mixture of shopping. Breakfast in a Witherspoons and a leisurely wander about inside Worcester Cathedral. On arrival at our Hotel in Bristol we were parked behind the Wolves FC team coach |
| Sunday 31/12/2017 | This was a "Free Day" in Bristol. Our Hotel was just two minutes walk from the river where we purchased an all day ticket to travel up and down the river. Our first stop was at the SS Great Britain. Following this we went into Bristol City Centre. Our evening meal in the Hotel was 5 courses spread out over 3 hours and included live entertainment and also a disco. |

Further to my earlier entry
Sage-Virus-attack-Defeated I have now made several further
changes to my website. Most things may appear cosmetic but in
fact it took many hours of research, trial and error to get
things working. the latest version of PHP is version 7.x but most
things were written and created in the era of version 5.x. Due to
this the creators of software such as PHPBB3, Coppermine and so
on have been upgrading their software accordingly. However not
all of the software has been or can be upgraded for one reason or
another. I have now managed to work round this problem by creating TWO web sites on the same computer, the main website runs PHP7, anything that doesn't work or does not work correctly is maintained on the second website running PHP5.4 It was quite a feat setting this up and for anyone interested, while it was still fresh in my mind I have written a guide here. |

On our way back from London we called into the
Coventry Transport Museum. I have been to plenty of similar
museums in the past but I consider this one to be the best so
far. There are several floors of exhibitions ranging from pedal
cycles - penny farthing, cycles with multiple seats - right
through to self driving electric cars. From Double decker buses
to vehicles that have broken land speed records. Entry is free but there is provision for voluntary donations. In addition there is a very nice cafe. |

Déjà vu
| Déjà vu, from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has already been experienced in the past. Déjà vu is a feeling of familiarity, and déjà vécu (the feeling of having "already lived through" something) is a feeling of recollection. | |

During
May 2016
Carol, John, Gail and Steve spent a week on the Isle Of Wight stopping at
the
Langham Court Hotel
Shanklin. Gail and Steve had room 202, Carol and John had room 203. Both
couples had booked the holiday with
Travelstyle.
Both couples plus Pete and Karen decided to book a mystery tour
with
Harry Shaw Holidays
to see in the new year 2017. Not only did we all end up in the
Langham Court Hotel
but Gail and Steve were allocated room 202, Carol and John room 203!
We found this to be a great Hotel who went that extra mile and did lots of extras to make this a fantastic stay. The Manageress hosted a couple of quizzes. Pass the parcel, Provided a buffet To let in the New year. On new years day during the afternoon everyone was treated to a bowl of soup and several sandwiches, later tea/coffee and cakes. Everyone at the hotel was given a new years day card, every guest even had a surprise gift at the dinner table. Everyone had a great time. Live Entertainment was provided every night. |
| 02 | Amongst our Christmas presents this year (2016) Christopher bought us a "Raspberry Pi 3" pre-loaded with about 20,000 games. This little box connects to our 49" Television set, you then add a couple of game controllers wired or wireless and any of the popular controllers such as nintendo, snes, sega and so on. Then you play all of those favourite computer games from the past such as Space invaders, frogger, bomberman, donkey kong, super mario brothers, lemmings - you name it and it is more likely to be there than not! All of the games are identical in every way to the originals. |
|
Meals a plenty! Every Thursday during December our group of 6 booked festive meals at various local pubs before going to the Thursday night quiz. Christmas dinner and also our Boxing day meal this year took place at "Farmer Johns." |
