4th January Aiming for the bullseye


An almost 60 yr old man from Hucknall, who may or may not be about to have yet another exsistential midlife crisis, has revealed his new sporting icon for 2024, and the person he thinks he can most look like by the end of the year, if he sticks to his strict training program.

Having realised that looking like one of the newly reformed Gladiators was perhaps setting the bar a tad too high, the unnamed almost 60 year old has revealed that he will, God willing, transform himself into a Luke Littler look a like in time for Jools Holland's 2024 ShootaGranny.

Speakng in an exclusive to Grace Under Pressure's very own rapidly rounding reporter, Mr Ann Onymus, revealed, "It wasn't his endless dedication to training that appealed to me, but rather his diet of kebabs, omlettes, pizza and a can of Tango. Having succesfully completed the 5km to couch program I've been looking for inspiration to take me to the next level of sporting inertia. In Luke I think I've found my man."

"And just think in a years time when he's legally able to add in all the calories from drinkng beer, we''ll really be able to go for the bullseye."

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...
