Hi Andrew. It looks like they have a long way to go yet before she's er...shipshape.
ReplyDeleteAw...that's so sweet. I deleted my account because I needed a proper time out (I can't leave it alone while I have an active account). I wasn't in a happy place and twitter was making me feel worse rather than better.
But I'm back now - @fauxbrarian. Look me up!
it's kind of sad to see that it has gotten run down....i went on the alma doepel 10+ years ago on an evening cruise out of sorrento and it was a beautiful old boat
