So, home again, home again, lah dee dah. It would be lovely if it were not for the fact that it has pee'd down nearly everyday for a week, I mean it is seriously wet out there. For those of you reading this (if anyone is reading this) living outside the UK who may think "It always rains in England, it's what it does!" Well yes and no; granted it does rain a lot but not as much as you think. Scandinavia should be especially grateful to the UK as we are the first landfall the weather systems make as they come up the Atlantic and hence we break the weather, get the rain and cloud and they get all the sun in summer, at least we have daylight in the winter.
Anyway, it doesn't always rain here, it just seems that way as it rains whenever you (whoever you are) visit. This truly is one of the most beautiful places on earth when the sun is shinning, there is nowhere like the UK on a hot balmy summer's day no matter where on the island you may be.
Mind you, as I said, it has pissed down for a week and a couple of days already and that is quite enough thank you. Especially when I have only been in the country that long on this vacation, it really is enough.
It now looks like I shall be back on the ship by the last week in August, two months on the Symphony and then two months on the Serenity is not too bad, a little change of scenery to keep the boredom away.
That's enough for now, it's time to make a meatball sandwich, set up my new printer, pour a glass of wine and settle down to read a little more Christopher Hitchens. You never know, I may even have a wander up to the pub, rain or not it is summer you know.

What a Day
@ Tuesday, Mar. 27, 2007 – 02:11:35
So it is 2:51 in the am and I been mucking around with this thing for about an hour, between one thing and another. I have no idea why, it's not like anyone really wants to read what I have to say, or fior that matter who I am going to tell about the damn thing. Still as everyone else seems to be doing it I thought I would have a go, if nothing else it will b e a journal for me. If you do happen to be reading this and there arfe spelling mistakes, I assure you for the most part they are not spelling mistakes, they are typing and proofing mistakes, honestly.
Anyway after all that hard work, not just this blog creation but other stuff too, I think it is time for bed as I need to be up in about 5 hours..
My word what an exciting forst blog entry this was, gripping stuff, thrilling!
