It's been a while....

so I am back, this site has been tempramental to say the least which is why I haven't been on for ages so got a fair bit of catching up to do....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

well, hello, got my sober head on today.....only for a few more hours mind and then its the countdown to 2007... what a year its been eh? Firstly, apologies for my waffled last 2 drunken entries , basically took a shortcut thru a underpass that pedestrians atre not allowed to walk under, especially not when drunk, flailing, shouting and stopping every passing car in order to get a lift home, Dear Lord, I even stopped an ambulance! yes.. well the cops came and took us back to Cap D'Ail... my collegue was less than impressed the next day and even warned me that he won't venture out with me again if I behave in that way... oopsy... can get away with Justine drunkeness with you guys, esp Lisa and Moosey etc but with normal people in the outside world as it were... they don't know what to do with me... so good thing as from 2mrw I'm on a month detox, no more alcohol., the cigs will be gone from my life for good anyway but gonna get fit fit fit... signed up for personal sessions with power plate thing, like Madonna, its so good, bloody hurts tho... well anyways, this year has gone way too fast, its frightening... but here's a toast to all my friends, Happy New Year guys. Love you all, and thanks to each of you for being a superb friend. xxxx

Bonjour!!

Hi, sorry I've not written for a while, been soooo busy... working hard, all is good and I'm really very happy... been a naughty girl as some as you know but knocked that on the head.... how very adult of me. Well, been out on the piss pretty much most nights drinking my body weight in red wine. Been back on the fags.... I know I know... its bad but it will be illegal smoke here in Jan and July in UK, so may as well stop then.. Went out with the crew on Lady Libra which is next door to us as have always gotton on well with them, so was very sweet, we went to Monkey bar in Monaco for dinner and drinks and then on to La Rascase which is a cool bar with live music open til 5am... danced a lot til about 3.30am.. was superb.. was on watch on Fri which was a good thing as shattered and then had a full on booze filled day yesterday... enough drinking for me for a while... til Chrimbo anyways... gonna cook a ham and a turkey for Chrimbo lunch. xxx

Update...

Well the sun is still shining here.. been about 20 most days, def still t-shirt weather here... www.masqueradeofsole.com is the site for the yacht and send me an email if you want the address.. if you fancy posting me something.. the owner is on board for a week from Tues so its been pretty manic getting things ready. I'm loving my galley, really big.. will get some pics up here soon.. other than that nothing much to report.. working, sleeping, working really... I'm on watch duty all weekend so not going anywhere but once the owners off I'm due for my long weekend so intend on getting the train to Italy which is only 15 mins away and doing some cultural things... need to find out more about the ski slopes, app they are about 2-3 hrs from here, and very beautiful.. right, well.. gonna update my cv as have decided not to take the job on Shoshanna next season.. yes would have been nice to have next years work sorted but after thinking about it I would be taking a step backwards, from being the sole chef on a 28mtr Gemini, to then crew chef on 43 mtr, here, to a 22mtr.. nah.. plus it was live off, so would not be saving any money at all... well thats that... email me with any goss.. xxxxxxx

Life on Masquerade....

Fab crew, super big cabin all to myself, got a flatscreen tv and dv in there too... we all do! Massive collection of dvd's for crew, sky tv in crew mess and internet up here in the bridge....so pretty chuffed. Working from 8am til 5 everyday, we have to take turns being on watch tho' so not every wkd off... have asked to work Christmas as prefer to have New Years off, and we'll get 5 days off for it which is cool.. well, must go, just thought I'd drop a quick hello.... xxxx

Off I fly......

Landed a really really well paid chef job on www.masqueradeofsole.com
gorgous motor yacht, she's almost double the size of Gemini , so the
galley will be HUGE... and a bugger to clean..all the stainless bloody
steel... lovely captain, the crew are all English, and I'm the only
chick, so got 4 men to keep in line.. have my own cabin this time
which is great plus get a long weekend off once a month and weekends
off to go skiing as the slopes are right there.... the yacht is right
on the border, apparantly if you stand at the bow you are in Cap D'Ail
and walk to the stern you are in Monaco... will be getting me an
offshore account there pretty sharpish methinks.. I turned down the
New Zealand job as well as the St.Lucia delivery as I knew this was in
the pipeline, will be great for my cv and I can do the carribean next
year. I phoned Bernie to accept the position on Shoshanna back in
Palma next April til Oct so have work lined up all the way til then!!
Hoorah! Au Revoir! will hopefully be pretty fluent in French by the
time I finish as I'm quite good now but have never had the chance to
practise.. there's internet on board so'll be updating this pretty
regularly...xxxxxx
