It’s been a while since I was in the journalism game (was I ever in it?) but I’ve nabbed a wee scoop: the second of Tasmania’s beleaguered ferries have arrived in Scotland.
Spirit of Tasmania V arrived in the Forth Estuary in the early hours. She’s expected to dock in the port of Leith on Thursday.

A parcel for me arrived from Greece earlier. I can’t think of a better way to explain this other than it *smells* of Greece inside the package. And it’s not cocaine.

Accidentally booked the American Tourist Hotel. Website offered upgrade to room with Acropolis view. Get to room - view only possible by leaning over side of balcony. Great views of “Lido Dream Girls Bar”, “Babylon Strip Show” and “Kinky Opera House”, however.
