Train to Bournemouth
a really grey drizzly day and a packed sweaty train to London. How do people commute? Packed like sardines paying exorbitant prices for train travel. People queueing to get on at Clapham trying to fit into a tiny space in the train. most had to wait for the next train. Horrific. Cup of tea, thats one tea bag and a few molecules of milk, £1.60.
anyway a good days work in bournemouth, a nice snadwich made for my lunch in a house that is as near perfect as one could get. will be first in line to buy when up for sale.
fun in the evening with the hedgehog let loose to roam around the bathroom, a room of no escape!!
Cruise around Spain
Not so sure what one writes about a whole weeks cruising. Grandeur of the Seas was the boat. A 2 am wake up call for a 6 am flight to Palma and lunch on the boat at 10.30 UK time. Not bad. Appalling lack of food choices at Gatwick and frankly Gatwick and Heathrow must be in competition for the worst airport in the world. Thomson airways, decent charter airline.
the places were quite interesting. Barcelona, Ibiza,Malaga and Gibraltar. No deaths on board this time unlike xmas but there was an emergency helicopter evacuation and a return to port at Malaga because of another medical issue. huge number of dolphins seen in a dolphin safari in gibraltar. What was astonishing though was the food. It was pretty much available 24 hours a day and yet folks had to push and shove in a frenzied way each mealtime. The size of the cohort on board was frankly again worrying and appalling. The average BMI had to have been 30. Photos will follow later this week
A Great Place
The rants and warblings of an active and some would say disturbed mind. A Brentford Fc supporter and a psychiatrist and photographer. Welcome to my musings and rants.
