12th June Diplomacy has reached it's summit

 

US officials were said to be thrilled at just how well talks had gone yesterday until it was discovered that President Joe Biden had in fact held three hours of intense discussions with one-year-old Wilfred Johnson at the G7 summit in Cornwall yesterday, after mistaking him for his father, Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

A Whitehouse spokesman revealed,“In order not to confuse President Biden, he had simply been briefed to expect someone with a mass of tousled hair, a childish attitude and bouts of undecipherable gibberish and so was a genuine and easy mistake for him to make. I mean God we are just relieved he managed to get down the steps of AirForce 1 without  falling."

Mr Biden was especially struck by the common bond the two participents shared in that they both had their food mashed up and needed to be winded afterwards.Reports suggest Mr Biden was especially pleased that a good 90 minutes of the meeting was taken up with a nap.

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is able to confirm that when the two respective leaders did finally meet up later that day, Joe and Carrie got on famously. Meanwhile down on the beach Boris, Jill Biden and Dilwyn the dog played a game of fetch, with Boris eagerly retrieving any stick that the wife of the president threw for him in the prospect of getting a trade deal treat.

  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...
