11th December - I Saw Three Ships

(disclaimer, I know next to nothing about boats, especially the fishing type and haven't bothered to do any research. Sorry about that. Call it poetic license)

********

Dear Diary

Today I witnessed a miracle. Just when all hopes were gone and our fishing crew had all but given up. Help came in the form of three 'ships'.

The Thunderbirds, who managed to rescue us as well as help to keep our livelihood intact.

You see, we are a family of fishermen who risk our lives to provide food for ourselves and our small town.

We know the stakes are high, but we have no choice but to go out there to earn our quota for the week.

Our crew are highly trained, heck, some of us are lifeguard volunteers. We'd been out a couple of days getting our nice haul, when a vicious storm hit. Huge waves pummeled the decks, causing The Faithful Liz to list dangerously.

We hung on for dear life, struggling to keep our lovely, sturdy girl afloat.

Then the mast split from the force of the waves. It swung from the rigging and punctured the hull, the engine flooded and we were stranded with nothing but our wits and a nasty sea.

Joshua barely got the SOS signal out, when bright lights appeared. Thunderbird One was hovering over us, its distinctive silver casing and lettering, flashing with each bolt of lightning.

"This is International Rescue, " the voice barely discernible over the roar of the sea, "looks like you guys need our help. Just hang in there, Thunderbird Two is on it's way."

Something else was said but it was lost as our boat suddenly capsized, throwing all five crew into the churning salty water.

As we tried to keep afloat, waves forced our heads underwater ... to espy lights underwater and a yellow shape coming closer.

Thunderbird Four was here.

Now what the heck could this little submersible do?

Apparently quite a lot actually.

A deeper roar overhead notified us of the arrival of the big green Thunderbird. Between them, they coordinated a rescue like no other. Not only did they manage to haul us out of the water, but they righted our boat, pumped out the water and plugged up the damage. Placed floating pontoons on either side and the little yellow sub, effortlessly towed it through the choppy waters.

It happened that we were but a couple of miles from the coast, but it felt a lot further.

Whilst sitting in the safety of the hull of Thunderbird Two, we were told the reason why they happened to be so close ... was that they'd been returning from another rescue and thanks to their 'eye in the sky', caught the SOS signal and thought they'd pop in. No biggie.

No biggie?

Heck, that was one hell of a feat they pulled out there. Saving our lives ... and our livelihood.

Have to go now and sign off this report. The prettiest nurse I've seen in a decade, has arrived with my favourite hot beverage. Sweet tea with a drop of rum in it.

Closing this report down to give her a kiss.

Signing out

Captain Fred Jenkinson fourth generation fisherman (and his grateful wife Elizabeth - aka Liz, third generation RN ... registered nurse ... the one bringing the tea btw)

who's your favourite active footballer?

Ooof, I don’t think I can answer this easily. Since I am trying hard to be a positivity blog now, I hope you won’t mind me turning this into a “who are my favourite (feel good) active footballer(s)?” And since I love lists, I will turn this into a team specific list (which is t o t a l l y not fueled by nostalgia at all):

Bayern:

Thomas Müller

Manuel Neuer

Javi Martinez

Serge Gnabry

Niklas Süle

(Honourable mentions: Joshua Kimmich, David Alaba, Leon Goretzka and by god I need to get to know more of the kiddos, Phonzie seems lovely.)

Arsenal:

Hector Bellerin

Rob Holding

Calum Chambers

Mohamed Elneny

Shkodran Mustafi

(Honourable mentions: Matt Macey, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock - basically all the kiddos Per brought up there, good job, dad.)

Bundesliga (first I wanted to do a German NT list, but... There isn’t much “feel good” with the current squad, which changes everytime anyway, so yeah. I haven’t paid much attention to the Bundesliga in a long time and have to get used to A LOT of new names, so... For everyone who knows me, the following list won’t have many surprises, its basically me mourning names that aren’t playing for the German NT anymore, so have some boys I love and adore):

Christoph Kramer

Jonas Hector

Lars Stindl

Sebastian Rudy

Ron-Robert Zieler

(Honourable mentions:  Holger Badstuber yes, he counts, shut up, Bas Dost, Patrick Herrmann, Christian Gentner, Max Kruse, Sebastian Rode, Julian Brandt, Nils Petersen, Makoto Hasebe... And probably more tat I just forgot...)

World wide (again, you won’t find any surprises here, at all, I am very biased, I usually just pay attention to my faves and sometimes have general opinions on players/teams, but this is my feel good list, so it has to be there and I just miss these guys):

Lukas Podolski

Sami Khedira

Mario Götze 

Aaron Ramsey

Kieran Gibbs

(Honourable mentions: Basically EVERYONE who didn’t fit in the list above who left Arsenal in recent years and made me cry, plus a few Bayern players as well, for example: Nacho Monreal, Santi Cazorla, Emiliano Martinez, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alex Iwobi, Danny Welbeck, Laurent Koscielny and, yes, Olivier Giroud, despite everything. Then we have players like Mario Mandzukic, Thiago Alcantara, Rafinha, Dante... And probably a few other former German players, like Lewis Holtby... Okay, I think this list is turning into a nostalgia only list, so let’s leave it for now.)
