Well, the prospect of Storm Claudia took us a bit by surprise… we’ve spent the day topping up supplies and then moving to somewhere where we won’t get it by a fallen tree.
Wish us luck.

I love it when the canal goes OVER a road.
The motorists probably have no idea that they’re driving under a canal.

We’re moored so much in the middle of nowhere that we haven’t heard a shitty fireworks all night.
Good. BAN THEM.
We live in a country that doesn’t allow a plug socket to be placed in a bathroom, but somehow, you can buy explosives in Tesco…

I have borderline PTSD from the level of hangover I had in the sushi restaurant here (champagne was in the drinks package).
But watch because Ephesus is AMAZING.
But watch because Ephesus is AMAZING.
This week, more hijinks aboard the MSC Divina. Watch us be absolutely blown away by ancient city of Ephesus, get force sold carpets, drink our weights in champagne, then get a 9/10 level hangover (which we try to treat with sushi 🤢)
(Also many wild cats and puppies!)

We brought back this GORGEOUS dual espresso mokka back from our travels in Italy.
It’s definitely cheering us up on cold mornings. ❤️

Every video that goes out on the @floating-nomads.bsky.social channel has to have the subtitles created properly. Or the AI does this.

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.
My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

It’s lovely to wake up and see the USA with the first bit of hope for a while.
Unfortunately our unfettered press will be determined to make sure that the same doesn’t happen over here.

Just read that Zohran Mamdani was born in 1991.

The irony is surely not lost on people that democracy, human rights and the rule of law (the core of the ECHR) were cornerstones of conservative (small c) thinking.
