It has been a couple of days since I last wrote my blog. Little has happened other than lots of work. I can't understand why I get up at 0600 and work through to 1900 when everyone else seems to knock of early. Am I crap at my job or just conscientious, I really wish I knew. There just seems to be a never ending pile of work and now according to the old man I have functional authority of Navigation on top of everything else as the Navs on here is not FNO qualified. I almost rang Clyde marine this morning after he told me but I didn't. Another year or so and I get the long service medal. If I could only get a shore appointment for a couple of years I could recharge my batteries.
I suppose I shouldn't moan, at least I have a secure job with a good pension and a loving family. There is just so much I wish we could do but we just haven't the money. I would love to buy some land and build an eco friendly house. Although it would have to have opening windows as I believe you can never get enough fresh air. I would love to be able to buy a wood, well I like trees, probably because I was a tree in a school play thirty years ago. I want to be able to send little Elizabeth to private school so she can have the best start in life as the state school system is unreliable. Finally I want to buy another landrover, I should never have sold Flakey but I think a Disco would be nice if I could ever afford it.
Anyway enough of my dreams, it has been a long day but at least we have apple juice onboard. I have been good the last few nights and not had any but I have fallen off the wagon tonight. I think I will drink up though and go and watch a bit of TV as I will be up early tomorrow.
