The winter has been unseasonably cold.

The locals say have they haven’t had such a bad winter since 1995. The marina itself was very safe, albeit a couple of the pontoons parted during a particularly wild night, but the marina staff were quick to remedy. The biggest problem was condensation – it was very wet & humid and, at times, we were unable to open the hatches. Simply cooking or boiling the kettle had the windows dripping.

Today as a result of the Brexit fiasco I applied for my Irish Passport. As I was born born in Northern Ireland I am entitled to an Eire one.

 

We believe that the boat itself will be OK as we have the original purchase invoice and it looks like it will satisfy the VAT issues on leaving so long as we can prove by a marina receipt or similar that we are in Europe on Brexit day.

So in summary: I will be Irish, the cat Greek, the boat deemed European, so just leaves the problem of a new wife…………..

Gordon & Louise perhaps after Brexit and unable to return to Blighty. Well would you want to any way ?

Lily has settled in well and the lovely Vet Myrsini who is also a homeopathic practitioner reckons she can help with my cat allergy.

So I have had my interview and been given a lengthy form with all sorts of medical history and lifestyle questions to complete. It does ask some interesting personal stuff e.g. How are my stools? How do I feel when I have a stool? Do I have erection issues? are amongst the more notable, though for the life of me I cannot see the connection with a skin rash, lol.

I duly completed this and handed it in

Currently awaiting feedback and magic pill.

But I think Myrsini is thinking about arsenic ,lol
