22nd May Who do you feel sorriest for today?


It is a difficult question but who do you feel sorriest for this morning? Is it poor Philip Schofield who came out of the closet only to find himself back with Gordon the gopher in the broom cupboard after being unceremoniously kicked off the sofa by  Holly 'butter wouldn't melt in my mouth' Willoughby? Or is it that ever so unlucky Suella Braverman, who after breaking the law thought she could dodge the law, as a result of her making the laws.

It can't have been easy for Phil these past few months. Admitting he was gay, being caught queue jumping at Queen Elizabeth's funeral, discovering his brother was right up there with Rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville on the Peado parade but worst of all having to sit on that sofa and listen to Alison Hammond witter on and on and on.

As for Suella, well its just been one success story after another hasn't it. First failed Email 101, when she sent classified documents via her personal account, then she failed to get a sinle asylum seeker sent to Rwanda at a cost of millions of pounds. Now she can't even manage to keep her speeding conviction quiet by conveening a secret, hush hush one to one speed awareness tete a tete.

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to decide just who it feels sorriest for, and so in the interests of equality and fair play, has decided not to feel sorry for either of them.

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...
