Don't panic Middy Nerys "You'll never walk alone"!😉 WO Rooky and Chief Cash have reported for duty. Lt. jg (Feline) is busy retraining his Red River Patrol crews for the Catnip raids!🙄 Oh well! I guess SEALs eat fish as well 😉 Lt. Commander C.H. is drifting about somewhere! If you come across him haul him aboard please. He might be muttering incoherently about motor mounts and weevils in his keel or some such 🙄 wrap him in a blanket and give him a hot toddy in the Gun Room👍 He might be accompanied by CPO Jacko? Sub Lt. Dodgy has come aboard unannounced, commensurate with his Black Ops. slithy tove duties! ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe." (The Admiral is musing over his Grauer Burgunder 😋 whilst watching an excellent series of documentaries about the WW2 submarine wars in the Atlantic and Pacific - Hell Underwater!) Midshipman Fireboat was also sighted but he's still tied up debugging and protecting the MoD computer net from hackers and Russian (and US☹️) intrusions! Thus not available for deck duty. PO 1st Class Steve, from Down-under - ANZAC Division, has put in an appearance but is still absorbed in the trials of his new-fangled Hi Tech rowing boat. Beyond me but he seems to be enjoying it 😉 Commodore Figtree has retreated to his Man Cave to recuperate from the unfortunate Ocean Going Tug debacle. You win some - you lose some! I fear Congress, SWMBO Commitee, will delete the program from his Western Command budget though!🤔 So it looks like you have the deck Middy, with the able support of WO Rooky and Chief Cash.👍 Have this week seen with pleasure the construction reports of various candidates for the Admiral's new yacht (er .. I mean barge😜) Good works chaps👍👍 Steady as she goes Midship(wo)man. (Allow the Admiral to digress for a moment😉) Origin of Woman! Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden so the Lord agreed to create a companion for him. Using one of Adam's ribs (Ouch!) as 'raw material' the Lord set about creating his companion. When He was finished he took three steps back to contemplate the result and - spontaneously exclaimed -- "WO MAN!!") CU on the , will be expecting a full report of the nights excursions!! Just try to keep the fuel bills down please 🤔 Sec of the Navy tells me Congress has been on his case again about fuel budgets! G'night All💤💤💤 Weather report Munich area attached. "Paddy's Hurricane" 😉
