29th December Let the annual declutter commence

 How to Declutter Fast: 6 Simple Tips ... 

So with the last working day of 2024 well and truly completed and with only social jollies in his diary for the rest of the year, an almost 61 year old man from Hucknall is just about ready to start the annual declutter of his home.

This yearly event is one that sees him attempt (often in vain) to make more space, get rid of unwanted stuff and generally be able to navigate down the entire length of his hallway without the danger of breaking a limb in the process. 

This annual decutter is required following another year of charity shop mooching that has resulted in the acquisition of more clothes than he can ever wear, more books than he could ever read, more DVD's (yes he is still old school) than he could ever watch, more music that he could ever listen too, and more baubles, trinkets and shiny things than he could find a place to display.

With a determination that would make Stacey Dooley blush, Marie Kondo almost faint and Mrs Hinch feel positively sparkling, this almost 61 year old has commenced the descision making process of whether to keep, donate or trash, without simply movig stuff from one location to another.

And as can be seen from the image above it is always what to do with the high heels that provide the biggest dilemma.

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...
