Hemingway at Walloon Lake, Michigan 1904
MasterM packs his bag
for a week of Marlin fishing
in Madeira
passport - check
tickets - check
gift for host - check
(MrsM expresses surprise and delight
at this organised approach to packing.)

MasterM displays books which have been chosen
specifically for holiday reading!
(MrsM is enchanted)
MasterM says "I might need something to read
if the boat is captured
by Somali pirates.
(MrsM doesn't blink)
Just kidding..."

MasterM selects some smart clothes
in case they go out to eat in a restaurant!
(Stop! Stop! This is all too much for MrsM!)
MasterM counts the T shirts in the pile
"No...that is not enough...
I expect they will all get covered with fish guts
so I might need some spares."
(MrsM is back in her comfort zone with a bump.)

The amazing ability of boys to bring you back to earth with a bump.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the Hemingway photos.
Has he grown a Hemingway tache?
ReplyDeleteI hope he has a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that MasterM has the life of Riley...!
ReplyDeleteI am starting to be slightly jealous of MasterM. But I understand ... I was young too, ONCE.
ReplyDeletePaola
is MasterM a Pisces ??
ReplyDeleteVery impressed with his packing skills! Maybe he can hire himself out as a packing coach. I know some men who could use his help! And love the photos... K x
ReplyDeleteI would be reassured that Somali pirates aren't normally that interested in fish-gut reeking marlin fishermen.
ReplyDeleteA very cool trip.
The 'p' word again!
ReplyDeleteMarlin fishing seems very glamorous. What happened to sticklebacks?
Is MasterM reading The Sun Also Rises?
ReplyDelete(suggested due to many hemmingway pics and the mention of fishing)
If not, may I recommend it?
