Just booked a four night break in the Algarve for the end of March, at the Tivoli Marina Vilamoura.

I'm very envious Hugh.

This made me smile (French advert).

Just booked some flights with BA to Larnaca in late September for a week away (we have a friend who has a villa near Çatalköy in North Cyprus).

I used BA Avios points and BA Amex Companion Voucher, so two Economy return flights Heathrow - Larnaca cost a total of £70 (if we booked flights the standard way, it would have cost us £610 in total).

Result!

That is a result, love Cyprus, great time to pick to go to :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks - we are also going for a week or so at the end of May, just need to finalise dates (going with the friends whose villa it is).

Car passed its MOT today, only one trivial advisory. :)

Finally cracked the Rubik's Cube. Something I've been wanting to do for years. Took around 9 hours to learn it over 2-3 days or so.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Back in the 80's my uncle solved it on paper without touching the cube. Some people's brains are just wired that way.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

When i was a teenager used to often complete it without a solution, i never really knew how i did it, it just happened randomly after getting the first 2 layers easily completed.

30 years later i can't even figure out how to complete 2 layers easily let alone complete it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My nephew can do it in around 30 seconds, some 26 seconds of the record.


The fastest is 0.89 seconds, by a robot.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I used to be able to solve the Rubiks clock. Now that was a challenge (mainly cuz at the time I was permanently stoned hahaha)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I cheated. :D

I peeled off the sticky squares and put them all back in the right order then stuck it up with Uhu glue so it couldn't ever be mixed up again.

I was given it by a friend when they became popular, I hated that Rubik cube and I swear it hated me back!!!!!!!

I am happy that Covid hopefully is near an end and we can go out and enjoy life again

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Lets hope so. I think we all need something good to look forward to.
