I really can’t believe it has only been two weeks since I joined this ship. The days seem to go by in a flash and it seems an eon ago that I was home in Devon with Debbie and the little ones. When I found out I was coming here I knew it would be hard work but I thought at least we should be in my home port most weekends. The thought of being able to see Debbie and the little ones gave me something to look forward to. As always though things change and were not going into my home port for another few weeks so I don’t know when I will get a chance to see them again. I think I will try and find some where with WiFi next weekend because at least then I might get to see them with Skype.
Things have been very busy this end so I find very little time to read my book let alone go down the gym. I had promised myself I would go down at least every other day but I have only managed to get down there three times so far. Mind you after a 12 – 15 hour day I have very little energy left to do anything. I am sure as I settle in on here and we get into a steady routine with our programme things should become a lot easier and I will hopefully get down there more. I just don’t want to pile on the pounds after doing so well last leave in shedding them.
Well second Sunday on a trot at sea, I do miss my Sunday routine from home of going to the Church in the morning and then stopping at the Green Dragon on the way home. It doesn’t help that I am feeling a little spiritually empty at the moment. I know he is all around us, you only have to look out of the window at sea to see the majesty of creation. It is just that I am very bad at putting aside a little bit of time each week for a little bit of quite reflection. I really should make more of an effort to find a quiet time each week.
