    Couple points:
    1) Malinda is never early or late. She arrives precisely when she means to.
    2) The ad for Hello Fresh is the best and they should buy it from you.

    Great version ;) Fun fact: This is a sea ballad from New Zealand from c. 1860-70. The song refers to the "wellermen", being the supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were amongst the earliest European settlers of Otago (South Island, New Zealand). The supply ships would bring the sugar, tea, rum, spirits, tobacco and clothes that made up the "wages" for the crew.

      I find that watching kitten cams helps me to relax. It is funny how watching sleeping kittens, (and they do sleep a LOT), can reduce my stress level so well!
      One cam I watched here on youtube is Club Smoosh, owned by Sarah Donner who like me has depression and she uses the cam to help with her own depression and her band (Kittens Slay Dragons), dragons being a nickname for depression helps to promote awareness. Well worth watching and there is chat with others who also have depression.

      @@marykay8587 Centuries old would be an overstatement, a Wellerman would be a supply ship run by the Weller brothers, who's company was founded in 1831 and became one of the larger players in whaling and trade in New Zealand, however, by 1840 the whale population in the area was in a decline, and if I recall correctly, the company would go out of business at that time.
      Which means the story the song narrates would have to be set to that rather limited time frame. The song itself is apparently thought to be from the 1860s or 70s, though.
