7th September Living on the breadline with Rish Sunak


 Many people might expect to feel a little down in the mouth after coming seconnd in a two horse race, but according to news reaching Grace Under Pressure not so Rishi Sunak, after losing in the Tory leadership campaign.  

Climbing out of the right side of the bed after the mother of all benders on Krug chanpagne, and leaving his multimillionaire wife to have a lie in unde the 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, Rishi started the day with a few lengths of his indoor swimming pool, heated to a cosy 27 degrees by burning £100 notes.

Then sliding his feet into a pair of £95 pound designer sliders  and donning a Versace cashmere dressing gown, Rishi enjoyed a breakfast of Lobster Scrambled Eggs, Cinnamon Brioche French Toast Skewers with Caviar butter, Venezuelan Chocolate Pancakes and freshly brewed ground Kopi Luwak coffee.

A quick glance at the broadsheets and the massive task that faced in coming PM Liz Truss and Mr Sunak broke into a broad smile assured as he was that he wouldn't be given a challenging role in the cabinet. It was difficult to imagine how life could get any better. 
 
Difficult that was until the butler handed Mr Sunak his phone in order to heck his current account balance, a move that required the former chancellor to have to turn the screen sideways in order to fit all the naughts onto it. So today pray for Rishi and those like him, doing it tough in leafy Richmond.

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...
