Any questions on what teddy is doing to the sheepy should be directed to either a Welshman or to Bloke himself. Answers on a post card to....
Especially the sheep!
This is Paul, AKA ‘Bloke’ We have been friends now for about 17 years. A plotted history with bloke through the famous, ‘Canada days’ and also the infamous, ‘Essex days’
We are going to have to hand wash our own dinner plates!! How are we to cope!!
As I was tending my Bonsai tree today I was thinking about 'Karen'
After the lovely days off it was back to work and one more day left to get the boat ready for the first leg ,San Remo to Gibraltar, before starting the trans atlantic crossing.
Its always nice to bump into friends and always surprising when you are so far from where you met them.
A couple of fab days off in San Remo with Claire, eating italian food, drinking italian wine. Very Nice..
The Royal Hotel in San Remo is a little rich for my blood and even though there was a special visitor arriving to share a few well earned days off, a stay at the Royal looked unlikely.
It was at about that time that we were leaving Porto Cervo, I was invited to move from the depths of deck 2 and the door slamming of the crew corridor, up to the deck 4 accomodation, where I enjoy such luxuries as a bonsai tree and a sea view.
With a flurry of YSL and Prada luggage and some Italian hugging and kissing (some of the crew were dissapointed, in some cases, that this was not French kissing or hugging), our guests departed happily at around lunch time. We were then left in the billionaires playground with no guests!! Time to leave quick quick!!!
Some jobs on board are clearly designated to the separate departments. Engineers, for example, look after the engines and generators... house keeping, the cleaning and guest cabins, the service staff look after food and drink service and the deck team look after the outside of the boat.
Quite a lot of water has gone under the bridge in the last month. Its been busy and then just routine. Some of my family are quite unwell at home which makes me sad and I hope that they will all be ok.
