September 6
Sorry, loyal readers, but I’ve been a bit busy. Not in the kitchen so much as in the bathrooms which you may not want to know about in minute and fascinating detail. Actually I was expecting a lot worse – seasickness, unsophisticated people, etc. etc. But what do you know – they’ve been sick all right, but I haven’t had to mop up even one disgusting emission. If somebody’s too sick to do it themselves then one of the others (there’s a few of them with iron constitutions like my good self) whips along and fixes it all before I can get to it.
All right – I can hear you yelling TELL US ABOUT THE BABY. He’s a boy. Healthy. But the biiiig news is that his mother is Vima!! That’s right – the one who sent the message that started off this whole rescue. The general feeling on board among the crew (although I can’t speak for Willem) is that they were right to save her. Even if the lot of us die because of it (sorry Mum!).
Yep, it’s still rough out here. We’re not out of trouble yet. Am I worried? Nah, but then I’m always one to look on the bright side.
Ta for baby info BoatBoy – about time too.
ReplyDeleteThe Taris people would appear to be thoughtful and self-sufficient from your observations. That’s a good start.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inane driveller BoatBoy. Which doesn’t surprise me because only somebody with a deficient intellect would think it was a good idea to rescue every stray mongrel that puts up a good sob story. These people are TROUBLE. Mark my words. Don’t say you weren’t warned. RR (which stands for Reject Rabble, in case you’re interested).
ReplyDeleteTrouble, you reckon? Another way of looking at the evidence so far is that they’re loyal, brave and self-sufficient. I believe those are characteristics we can use in Aotearoa.
