Minerva
Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and other handy things, the Greek equivalent is Athena. It is also the name of a nicely old fashioned (the interior) cruise ship that called into Symi on Monday, early in the morning. Its arrival attracted the attention of the Alarm Cat who wanted to make sure everyone on board was up and ready for their day.
The cruises they offer include distinguished guest speakers such as: “Rear Admiral Namechange CB CBE, who will deliver engaging talks relative to your itinerary.” Can’t wait for that one – snoozing off over my fine dining “of international dishes to tempt you” while learning all about double ended crankshaft sprocket maintenance and the benefits of a well lubed intake valve. No, I’m sure he is a wonderful speaker and I just realised it said ‘engaging talks’ I thought it said engineering talks. I need to get out more.
Anyway, that was the highlight of Jack’s day yesterday, that and a good long snooze on the bathroom roof once he’d got over the fact that he only had three breakfasts and stopped whining about it.
Just to keep you in the loop; I’m away on Wednesday so there may not be a blog on Thursday, then I’m away the following week for three or four days so I’ll have a bit of a rest then too. But before all that, here are a few more random photos from recently.
