I haven’t had too much time to write any posts these past few days thanks to having to catch up with real life. So I will throw in a few quick words while the chicken is roasting away in the oven. The ship world is quite secluded and at times lonely, at least when the internet is not working. Here in real time there is living to get on with, washing and cooking and cleaning. Meeting people in the flesh, having to drive the car, bring in the pellets (the what?) our house is heated with wood pellets which require bringing in by moi when I am home. 4 tonnes by truck to the house and then by hand into the cellar, phew, I have 2 down and 2 to go. The back is giving out. Time to drink some Green Tuborg and listen to Green Day.
