On the chart we 120 miles north of Lombok island and heading for the protection that the land ,mass of Borneo may affords us.
A slight lessening of sea conditions during the day but as it was raining in the afternoon no chance of my bronzy stroll.
Not much else to report to day as we slowly but surely devour the miles ot our destination.
The two bits of music today come from a modern poet of our times.
(There is swearing in both these tunes so if likely to be offended please don’t open the links.)
The first is of how an unhinged fans obsession can have terrible consequences.

The second is the outpouring of the pain that bad parenting can leave and is a harrowing tale so be prepared for the hard hitting and brutal honesty to portrayed in the lyrics.

(ps My mum and dad were fine, there is nothing autobiographical from me in choosing the second tune. I just appreciate powerful writing and a well put together powerful track)
Cheers
