Seriously, I kind of tripped/fell off my bed (thank you iPod cable) whilst carrying an armful of MLP. I didn't drop a single one, or damage them, I did though punch myself in the chest and take enough layers of skin off my hand for it to bleed. Successful adventure!
I've spent the last couple of days scrubbing some MLP that I bought in a bundle, and that were a little bit skanky. I've kept two of them, but managed to get the majority of them up on eBay - taking advantage of their free listing day :) I've now confined them to a box so they can't attack me again!
Last week my Mum and I went across to Portsmouth, for a very belated Mothers' Day treat of lunching in the Tapas bar over there. We then went a little bit silly and decided to go for a boat tour around the naval & commercial dockyard. I do have a bit of a secret love affair going on with Royal Navy ships, especially as I got to attend the commissioning ceremony of
HMS Albion when I was in school. Thank you CCF.
I was very happy to see HMS Illustrious looking not too worse for wear after getting her hull punctured earlier on this year. How can anyone failed to be impressed by the awesomeness of this ship?
There is always a queue of container ships lurking about off the coast of the Island, it was nice to see one actually getting to lighten its load for once.
Also *points up* HMS Warrior always makes me think of the "Jolly Roger", as it appears in the Disney version of "Peter Pan".
In some ways, it's quite a treat to live on the Island as the Navy like to play around in the Solent from time to time:
I was about to read "Stargate: The First Amendment" but now I have a hankering to read "Peter Pan" instead :)
