I would be amazed if anyone got that title without the aid of Mr Google. Crappy weather day again (no 70 out of 74 this year) brightened by the fact that one of my favourite singers (Glenn Hughes…once of the mighty Deep Purple) shall be plying his troth in the Waterfront in September. Tickets went…

What an adventure! Komodo Island was amazing! 3 hot sea days from Darwin to the Indonesian island of Komodo – scenery was simply spectacular The pier was more than a little rickety, but men were on hand to haul you up! It was definitely a step back in time One dragon scurried up the beach…

It’s been ‘one of those weeks’….. The weather hasn’t been too bad at all which has meant that one of the ‘challenges’ I set myself when the boss was away was started and is 90% finished. Just a few more feet to cut and a few more things to the dump and that’s it sorted….

I’m sure we’re all over the moon to see that the boss is still enjoying nice warm, sunny weather Down Under…..and I’m sure you, like I, have no wish to see her boat get caught in some giant cyclone, or typhoon, or monsoon, or tsunami……😂 Every time it looks like the snow is going it…

Stunningly beautiful beaches – guess what? It’s too dangerous to go on them! Sharks, salt water crocodiles & at the minute an influx of lethal jellyfish and that’s forgetting the stinging biting sea creatures! Played safe with a visit to the art gallery – who is even surprised Discovered that wagon wheel ice creams exist…

Day 21 I think Still rubbish wifi on board but plenty to look at Amusing myself with art classes There’s even a little bit of my work staying behind on the ship It’s Auckland for the world map Shows are great too Darwin today – bugs & heat! Thoroughly enjoying it

Wow….that’s brisk weather. March 2018…in like a lion, out like the Easter Bunny. -8c at home last night but it felt colder when I was walking Sebastian at 10pm. That wind ‘wud cut yee in two’. It’s a really lovely type of snow though. Very powdery. When we were walking up the road this morning…

Brrrr…. I’m sure we all enjoyed the photos of the boss swimming on the Great Barrier Reef and none of us were feeling in the slightest bit envious. Bitch 😂 Talking of the boss….if I see one more post/message about ‘ships wifi bad’ I’ll scream 😂…I’m half expecting moans about ‘weevils in the ships biscuits’…’scurvy…

Day 17 I think No wifi for posting Bucket list ✔️ today snorkelled on Great Barrier Reef Current location & it’s a wet one

So, my thinking that once the orders were delivered yesterday I’d be able to ‘toodle around’ for a few days. But no…… Having wondered why, after the deluge of orders for it last week, we hadn’t got any sales of G&T Marmalade on eBay I checked only to find we had sold out the listing….

I feel that I should only fill in the spaces when the boss isn’t posting….so here goes I’m assuming she’s on the boat again as there’s been no middle of (my) night texts. She did leave me her schedule but I haven’t looked at it 😁 I must try and remember when she’s back again….I…

Up in time for the sail in to Sydney & my first time sailing under the bridge Organised confusion on board. Marta on reception sorted out new cruise cards & thanks to the cabin stewards we got moved into our new cabin Passengers with onward travel only were being cleared to get off, we took…
