Tuesday 7th April – Day at
Sea.
We are now
at GMT + 5 (BST + 4)
It is a hot,
sunny day and the sea is calm… We went to a cooking demonstration in the Grand
Lobby at 11am – which was entertaining - and then went on deck to sit (in the
shade) and watch the world go by. Nesta went into the Kings Court and made
cheese and ham rolls and brought them out on deck so we could have a picnic (some
of the other passengers didn’t half give us some strange looks but we’re on our
hols!)
There is a
cocktail party tonight (to which we weren’t invited) and we were going to gate-crash
but the film we went to see in the afternoon (Noah, starring Russell Crowe)
wasn’t just bad – it was too long - so we couldn’t make the party…
Instead, we
went up to the Winter Gardens to support Lee (our choir master) who was giving
his first solo show. He was quite good!
We
eventually went into the restaurant for dinner and Garry, Jenny, Dianne and
some German man they had picked up somewhere arrived late from the cocktail
party and were extremely raucous on the table behind us!

Day at Sea.
Editor’s
note:
We hope
you’re still reading these posts – but we can only tell if you are from the
comments you make – so please feel free to comment!
Good news –
the tropical cyclone that was heading for Mauritius has changed direction and
we are therefore promised more warm days and only moderate seas…
We actually
sat in the sun this morning (from 8am to 9am!!) until it got too hot - so we
then made ourselves comfortable on our balcony.
We decided
to have a cinema day. We watched “Chef” starring, amongst others Robert Downie
Jr and Dustin Hoffman. It was funny and enjoyable but watching all the food
being cooked made us hungry so we went for lunch at 3pm!
We spent the
rest of the afternoon back on our balcony until 8pm when we went to see “Paddington”
with Hugh Bonneville and Julie Walters. – It, too, was a good, funny “feel good”
film and we enjoyed it.
We weren’t
feeling hungry so didn’t have dinner but had a drink in our cabin instead and
an early night – early start tomorrow!
Of course we're reading your blog. It's much more fun than reading the never ending General Election coverage! But don't worry, I've saved all the election literature that has been delivered, so you can read it when you get back.
