24th October Charles on emotional rollercoaster ride

 Insider sources at Buck House have revealed that the past few days have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for the Royal Family and especially for the Prince of Wales who is reported to have suffered the contrasting emotions of being worried but also very very excited at the news his dear Mama had been taken into hospital for ‘checks’.

This comes hot on the heels of news that sent Charles into a sudden spiral of depression last week when the Queen announced, that following her doctors advice, she was giving up alcohol so that the next 20 years of her reign would be more productive. 

Charles who spent the day in very close proximity of the nearest toilet, for fear of putting his TennaLady pads to the test, is reported to have described the level of anticipation as 'like when one watches ones England team's involvmement in a penalty shoot out, hoping against hope one can finally that final step, but seeing ones hopes repeatedly dashed. By a German. One's Mama is like Michael Myers in the Halloween movies, that that coincidentally are Camilla's favourites. Just when one think she is finally dead, she's miraculously ressurected to resume her reign of terror."

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to confirm that Prince Andrew is also reported to be greatly upset as the death of his Mama would at least have afforded him a final chance to appear in public before being shut up in the Tower of London or some American Correctional Facility.

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...
