I DO Like
Mondays..
Good Morning Loyal Subjects and those from far
off lands.
One trusts that you all had a pleasant
weekend. This morning you find your King bathing in sunshine, life is
good, a tuna found its way on to the Royal hook last eve and the cook promises
to make sashimi, sushi and kokoda for the royal yacht today. Just as well as one
has been trying to run down stores as those Austalian types are reputed to
conviscate much of the food when one arrives. It stems from thieir criminal
backgrounds you know, they just cannot resist theiving when they meet an
unsuspecting foreigner. One supposes that they must get tired of a diet of
ostritch and kangaroo steaks but really, the Royal baked beans should never be
touched! Ah well, it has meant one has had to eat such things as tinned
crab and foi gras with ones papdoms and pot noodle and one will be damned before
letting them gettheir criminal fingers on the Royal chutneys so they
have been liberally applied to everything!
Strange thing has been ones manic craving for
sugar. One normallly doesnt like such things, however the royal yacht has
been scoured for jelly snakes,boiled sweets, foam fizzy things, which are really
rather good and jelly beans. I think it may be the lack of alcohol, one has left
only one bottle of champagne to be drunk beneath the Sydney harbour bridge on
arrival and a three year old bottle of Advocat (and one is not that desperate
yet).
Okay a sailing bit for you nautical types. The
trade winds have well and truly run out here at 150 east (sailing blah
blah) and one is subject to high pressure systems running between Australia
and over New Zealand. This means lots of wind changes which in turn means one
has to push buttons several times a day..and night, most inconvenient!
Yesterdays plan was to reach down into the centre of a high to find the
stronger winds on the west side and jibe to reach out across them at great
speed, which one has. The speed however has been a tad dissapointing and one
still has 380nm to go. This also involved avoiding two reefs, 300 miles
from anywhere, and so just to show off, one sailed between them, thereby
claiming them for Matthew..One shall be sending the fishing boats and oil rigs
forthwith.
This morning too the King was entertained by
a troop of performing dolphins which was most pleasant.
For your information the repair to the coffee pot
was a success so thank goodness one didnt have to resort to instant coffee,
highly unsuitable for ones new found status.....which reminds me, after a long
study of 'This Is It' by that marvellous artiste and fellow King (of
Pop) formerely known as Prince Michael Jackson, one would hereby
like to annouce that 'Heal the World' will be the new National Anthem of
Matthew Island. It was a close run thing with 'The Way You Make Me Feel' coming
a close second but given the female subjects will be in National dress of very
small bikinis to save material resources one thought that a 'green' theme
would be good ..also the other just may be a liitle raunchy with all that bare
flesh around..bad for discipline, dont you know!
So to my Daily Duties. one cannot sit here alll day
writing when one has a Kingdom to run!
Adieu
His Royal Highness and Lord High Admiral, and
Private Secretary to the King, and Royal Cook...and cleaner
upperer.
King Graham
