That’s another leave done. I’ve been home longer this time. It’s been a strange one. You will remember the Coronavirus that gave us the lockdown in 2020. It kept me home for longer. It kept us from doing the things we enjoy, swimming, cinema, eating out, etc.

We found new ways to enjoy being together. Cycling was one. It’s been fun helping you learn to ride, gain confidence, and to ride with you. Your confidence grew in many other areas. We’ve been cooking together, which you have absolutely loved. We also did school work together.

You’re excited for your brother or your sister coming, you say you think it’s a brother. What we didn’t tell you was you’ll have two siblings. We won’t be finding out if they are boys or girls until they are born. Another little surprise.

I’m going to be going from Spain to West Africa this time. It means African pirates will be a hazard once more. Otherwise it will be the same routine for me. Work sleep eat repeat. We’ve been told if we need medication, to take an additional 3 months worth. Just in case.

I’m packing now, I always seem to leave it to the last minute. It’s not a task I enjoy, or am particularly good at. I like my home comforts, so I take with me the washing tablets we use at home (which helps keep things smelling like home), I bring some supplements with me because the food on board is usually pretty terrible.

I also take my own protective equipment with me, mainly a good pair of safety boots and a couple of pairs of proper leather riggers gloves. The PPE we have on board is substandard. The company have been told, but they don’t really care. It all comes down to budget.

I am due home in October. I hope that we can do normal things like swimming when I am home.

Obviously the twins will come too. It’s going to be wonderful that our family grows, you can be sure that I will always make time for just us. Doing our stuff.

I sometimes worry about the age gap there will be, but I know that MrsN and I will be able to guide you through and help you grow.

I guess every parent feels nervous when they’re expecting another child. I’ll always be there for you to talk to.

MrsN woke me up just after 0530. She was crying. She’s not looking forward to me going. I’m surprised too, she hates my snoring. This is the worst bit about going. The build up. The anticipation. The knowing it’s approaching quicker and quicker.

On that note, I’ll see you soon.

I love you son.

I wouldn't worry too much about age gaps between siblings. I'm seven years older than my brother, there's about the same from my nieces down to my nephew. All always got on fine.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

All the best, although I now have a probably entirely inappropriate image of an African pirate, with a tricorn hat, cutlass, jolly roger and an eyepatch.

October! That's a feck of a long time away. And just ask those Senegalese pirates if it is OK to listen to some Youssou N'Dour during your captivity, they will probably give you Djembe drum lessons...

Cheers all.

Today has been a bit of a weird day. It always is before I leave.

I don’t do well with people crying, MrsN has been crying on and off. She understands that we can’t have the current life we have without me doing this. So it’s just one of those things.

October is a long way away. If the whole world shuts down again I’ll be stuck on board.

We’ve not even gotten the cots or baby furniture yet. The idea is that I get home and buy and build it all straight away and then the twins come.

Guthers it’s good to know you’ve had positive experience of the age gap, I guess the worry is that Seb isn’t here full time.

Time for a shower and shave and a lie down. I don’t sleep too well the night before I leave.

MrsN wanted to drive me to the airport. I’ve said no and booked a taxi. She gets far too upset.

She is working from home on a digital project for the midwifery unit. Her boss has been very understanding. So hopefully she will get some work done to keep her mind off stuff tomorrow.

All the best everyone.

When I was a kid, the family went on a holiday to the Isle of Wight.

My dad and uncle took us out in a small boat to go fishing and somehow managed to allow us to drift into the shipping lanes.

Fecking great thing coming towards us with its horns bellowing out.

Pretty much as illustrated right there.
