8th February Wills to the rescue


In exclusive news that is sure to warm the cockles of everyone's hearts, Grace Under Pressure can reveal that the panic is over! 

With his Papa currently convalesing and being looked after by half the NHS, his wife Catherine still on paid sick leave and being looked after by the other half of the NHS, his Aunty Anne single handedly dealing with Huthi rebels, his Uncle Andrew still persona not gratis and his younger brother 'Ginger' not trusted to have scissors, Prince William has heroically returned to the front line to cut all the ceremonial ribbons that need cutting up and down the land.

Ardent royal watchers were apoplectic at the thought of a nation being bereft of ribbon cutters, cord pullers and sheet tuggers but good old Wills has shown just what kind of stuff he is made off by upping his game and going once more into the breach at this time of crisis. 

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to confirm that Prince William has managed to build up extra strength in his hand in preperation for this red ribbon routine by repeated cutting ties, the ties between himself, Harry and Meghan but it is quite possible.

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...
