Had a lovely evening celebrating the godson’s birthday yesterday, even though they were both at work at the time. We managed to see them for half an hour beforehand and were able to hand over a gift. It was a bit of a working gift – new kitchen shoes, but what he wanted, apparently. After that, we went to Georgio’s and watched one run up and down stairs next door delivering what the other had cooked, so that was that, and this is this.
This ship comes in every year and has done for a few years now. Yours to rent with prices starting at $490,000 a week plus all expenses, fuel, food etc., but it does house twelve guests, so it’s a bit of a bargain really. Either that or it’s obscene; depends on your point of view, I guess. Interesting to look at, but if I had that kind of money, I’d hire something more trad, like HMS Victory. The Cutty Sark would do. You can’t really see it in my photo, but you can learn more about it here.
That was the view the other morning, and this morning was pretty much the same. Temperatures in the courtyard starting the day around 28° and rising to 37° by mid afternoon, humidity between 40% and 80% depending on the breeze. Fan on in the sitting room when there, beside me at the desk here, and overnight. You get used to the constant white noise.
And that’s about all the news today.
