The Bilson

So one of the main things that you have to deal with here is people coming and going. Now living on a ship with everyone, of course you not going to know everyone, but the people that are close to you, the people you work with, cabin mates etc, well you get to know them pretty well!

Well 2day Friday 1st May i lost one :( I have good news to report that he didn't fall off the ship (and im writing this after the actual day so i know he got home safely!)

He name was Luke Bilson, and he deserves a post of his own i feel! It seems strange that he was only here for 2 months cause i feel like ive known him for alot longer than that! Now one of the reasons he deserves so much credit is that he managed to survive living with me! Yup he was my bunk mate, and for any of you that know how clean i am ... ok for those of you that don't ... im a very messy person! I will get a pic of our room, and our section of our room on here, but lets just say its pretty small for 2 people!

Another grand job he did was sharing the same schedule as me, im on the cooking team, and he was on the dining room team and thankfully on the same shift as me, which meant we got all the same days off, which is really nice here. Most people do mon-fri (apart from the nurses) whereas i do shifts so when you have wed/thu off there isnt much going on so its been great having someone around to do this that and whatever!

Luke was truly a blessing to have here and im looking forward to the Christmas reunion already :)

On the plus side ... its lovely being able to use his cupboard to chuck my dirty laundry in :) and im using his two shelves :) ... Its kinda funny really, we have room checks here, and well were normally rubbish, and our bit of the cabin is always messy, and well all because of me and me being messy! ... Well how things have changed now!!! Im actually tidy!!! its all cheating really :) i just have more places to stuff my stuff :) ... i find it really funny though cause next time they come to do a room check and see how tidy my place is ... i can just imagine them thinking "oh that Bilson boy musta been a messy one, look how tidy it is now" ... and if they did ask ... since he has left and all ... it would be rude not to blame it on him ... ok i wouldn't really ... im messy and don't care who knows it :)
