that's what I call service!

1:58 a.m. GMT The last couple of nights have been extremely uneventful and in some ways quite frustrating, very few people seemed to be paying any attention to my playing, so I ended up playing mostly instrumentals both nights. At least I had the benefit of finishing early on each occasion though.

Yesterday afternoon whilst in Zeebrugge I went for what is becoming my usual walk down to the beach and back. On the way there I got stopped by the Belgian police and was half-expecting them to demand half a dozen different forms of ID. Instead they asked me which boat I worked on, then asked me if I wanted a lift anywhere!!! You wouldn’t get that in the UK!
