Friday everyday?

Haven’t been down to the boat for a while now, starting to wonder if she still floats and imagining that when we get to the boat she may be missing or only the top of the mast may be sticking out of the water. I think that all sailors that own a boat must have this same fear of leaving the boat for a long period of time. The weather just has not been conducive to sailing, well not for me anyway. Rain, rain and rain again everyday for the past month now, with a glimmer of sunshine on the odd occasion.


Anyway my father in law has been staying with us for a couple of weeks now because he is in-between work and is finding it rather difficult at the moment. I believe we have managed to lift his spirit slightly by offering him our garden cottage to live in, but I think he must be getting sick of hearing about boat, boat, boat. That seems to be the only thing that Lola and I want to talk about.

Went to court yesterday regarding a shooting incident that happened in our offices a few months ago. What a waste of time, the ‘victim’ is back together with the shooter and is trying to negotiate together with him in order to drop the charges of attempted murder. People can be so stupid at times, I mean she has obviously forgiven him for shooting her and now believes that he won’t do it again. What a moron. As the saying goes, once a victim second time a volunteer, maybe she enjoyed getting shot by her husband or she has some sort of death wish. Anyway I don’t want her working for me anymore because the whole office was absolutely traumatised by the incident and now she is back together with him and he will arrive at the office to fetch her from work placing all the other people in the office under pressure thinking that he may again snap at some or other point.

Thursday today and we normally meet some friends for lunch on a Thursday at one of our client’s Portuguese restaurant. This time we decided to be adventurous and we are going to meet at a new place that we haven’t been before. I will miss these particular friends whilst we sail around the world, but fortunately they are a little more affluent and would possibly afford to fly over to meet us in some of the places that we plan on going to. This would be a good reason to then have a couple of Fridays in a row. ‘Ahh should we have a drink today, oh yes it is Friday so why not.’ And then tomorrow, ‘ahh should we have a drink today, oh yes why not it is Friday.’
