28th April Just Dancing in the dark


Its interesting how sometimes the most popular songs of an artist are not neccesarily your own particular favourites. Over the past few days I have been having a Brucie moment, that's Springsteen not Forsythe just in case you were wondering, by trying to put together a faviourite top 20. 

It has proved an impossible task, being a list that constantly seems to change almost daily. And also one that would omit many of what would be regarded a die hard classics by 'Th Boss''. So today I have decided to upload three songs from Bruce's back cataloge which would never make a Top 20, but which I simply love and have often been known to play on repeat cycle. So sit back an enjoy One Step Up, Man's Job and Happy.

 

 When I look at myself I don't seeThe man I wanted to beSomewhere along the line I slipped off trackI'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

 

 Now if you're lookin' for a heroSomeone to save the dayWell darlin' my feetThey're made of clayBut I've got something in my soulAnd I want to give it upBut gettin' up the nerveGettin' up the nerveGettin' up the nerve is a man's man's job

 

Some need gold and some need diamond ringsOr a drug to take away the pain that living bringsA promise of a better world to comeWhen whatever here is doneI don't need that sky of blueAll I know's since I found you, I'm happy when I'm in your armsHappy, darling, come the darkHappy when I taste your kissI'm happy in a love like this

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...
