Walking the plank
... onboard with Steve doing a couple of odd jobs. I settled down to the Daily Mail Saturday Cryptic crossword....couldn't quite get it completed though Tom!
Tuesday 28th August 2012

But by then Rex was pretty much out of steam anyway so we went to a restaurant and had excellent fresh octopus and then sole. Our thought is to have fresh fish in most if not all ports.
