12th October Suede simply smash it


This is simply magnificent. My ear worm of the moment, it has been on repeat play every since I heard it on Radio 2 a couple of days ago. And why is it magificent I hear you ask...oh all sorts of reasons.  

A swaggering guitar hook. Beautifully poigniant, raw, honest and heartfelt lyrics that just resonate with what a relationship can entail. A soaring sing a long chorus. It just gets better and better as the song progresses. And just when you think it is about to fade out...it doesn't. 

All of those things combine so that I just keep playing it over and over and over again.Very loud. There might even have been some shapes thrown!!!

So why not follow my lead. Put your cuppa down, put your headphones on, turn it up loud and just soar. This is Suede and 'The only way I can love you'


 I'm not the kind of person who never feels uncertain. So many ways to do what I do wrong. My love has many faces, secret, vicious places. And all of them are there for you 

 All day long I'll hide from the sun. I'll feel like something's just begun and I'll love you The only way I can love you All day long I'll hesitate I'll turn off the light and stay awake. And I'll love you The only way I can love you 

 And if I disappoint you, just know I wrote this for you. Another way to do what I do wrong. I pretend I don't adore you But I'd take a bullet for you. Yes it's a sweet and bitter love 

All day long I'll hide from the sun. I'll feel like something's just begun and I'll love you. The only way I can love you 

All day long I'll hesitate I'll turn off the light and stay awake. And I'll love you. The only way I can love you 

 All day long I'll hide from the sun. I'll feel like something's just begun and I'll love you. The only way I can love you. All day long I'll hesitate. I'll turn off the light and stay awake. And I'll love you The only way I can love you

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

 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...
