14th May A far from purrfect plan


Cats up and down the land are this morning sharpening their claws and perfecting their hissing and spitting in preperation for their owners attempts to try and have them micro chipped following the recent announcement in the Queen's speech

Describing herself in purrrfect English as not nearly as stupid as her ach nemesis ' the dog', who spends half his life chasing and retreiving objects only for his owner to throw them away again, feline femme fatal, Luna, spoke exclusively to Grace Under Pressure's very own Kitty Litter about her plans to foil this micro chipping meanace.

"If this strange women who lives in my house and acts as my servant, thinks that she has any chance of injecting anything into my ear then she has another thing coming. I saw what happened when she took 'the dog' to the vets under the pretence of just getting his teeth cleaned and he came back without his bollocks. What a half whit I ask you!" 

"I just play the game of letting her to think she's in chanrge by offering the occasional rub against her leg, throwing her the odd glance to suggest I am interested in anything she is doing and even pretendign I respond to this stupid nme she has given me. But if she thinks I am going to fall for some government animal welfare plan dreamed up by Prime Minister Carrie Symonds, well she had better get ready for a trip to A&E to get her face stitched. She needs to remember that I am the one with nine lives."

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
