The end is nigh… August 13, 2007
Posted by chris in : Uncategorized , trackbackWell its nearly the end of the month and so its nearly time for us to leave Luxembourg and return to the UK. Kelly’s job has turned to complete crap and both of us now need to re-start our careers. So I guess it is inevitable we must return to London. I have to say this is not something I want to do or I am looking forward to.
I have promised myself another boat as a “treat” to take my mind off the dreadful reality of the tube and the choking traffic and its disgusting stink that is life in South East England. The trouble is what sort of boat and where to keep it? The more I think about it the less sense it makes. Its cheaper and easier to take a couple of spots on a charter boat.
So the depression builds. London, no boat and the crap food and overpriced everything that is England. Stupid stickers on your tanks and grumpy shops arguing about filling things. Regulator service costs that make it more sensible to just buy new kit. Shit vis and crap weather.
On the up side we will be a bit nearer to some real diving and at least the English charter skippers don’t stop in late September and put the boat on land until April. I hope to get to meet some of the people we’ve made friends with through YD and through the e-club. Plus there are old friends in London from the last time that we need to have beer and curry with.
Its going to be a big change. So far its a big disappointment. I always thought when my dad died I would go travel. But instead we are turning the clock back and facing the misery of living in London again. Shit.

At least the beer and curries aren’t crap! Not if you find the right places anyway. Unlike Yurrup. Never get a good curry abroad
