I'm Back
Lads. had a fantastic holiday and atwe and drank anything and everything. Have got so many 'e's to answer swear it will take me a month. Hope you 'orrible bunch of lazy Welsh, Scottish, Sth African, Canadian, Aussie, Kiwi and Limey layabouts have got the ship sorted by now, and would one of you kindly tell me where we are and how many spuds I need to peel for din-dins. Met Fay the tropical storm while in Florida and gave her a shake up. Told her she didn't scare an old airy ***** seaman like me. But frankly I was terrified. Good flight out as a very nice Scottish lady at Gatwick upgraded us all to cabin class and very nice to. Now back fatter and balder than ever but with a strange thirst for a fair dinkum pint. Went to the water park Aquatica twice with the grandchildren and hurled myself off great heights down terrorfying slides just to keep up with 'em. Funny thing tho as all the annoucements were by an Aussie warning us to obey the rules, but he began everything with the words Kia Ora which I thought was Maori. Anyway must go just glad to be back on board with you bunch of old reprobates. Mike
