Monday, 28th September

We gained an hour last night so, despite having stayed up until after midnight enjoying the ship's disco (!!!) , we managed to get up early enough to have breakfast in the restaurant. Until now, I've eaten very healthily, mostly fruit and vegetables, but I fell at the first hurdle today and opted for crispy fried bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and fried bread.

Harold, I wish you'd been here today. This morning I attended a painting class! Lovely instructor, but a huge class and we were copying a black and white photocopied picture, so my end result was far from a masterpiece. However, I had to buy the set of paints, so am now equipped to be creative on the balcony, should I ever have any spare time!

I dragged Dave along to the Wii session after lunch, just to watch me make a fool of myself, and later on attended a classical concert. I know nothing about music, as you all know, but could tell the pianist was good as he did lots of twiddly bits and kept crossing his hands over. He played Bach, Beethoven and Liszt. I liked the Liszt best as it was the twiddliest, and the shortest.

We're in the North Atlantic now, and the Captain described the seas as 'moderate to rough' this morning, but we have a tail-wind which means there's still virtually no movement onboard.

Semi-formal tonight. The LBD will make its first appearance!

More soon, if we can get a satellite signal - it's very flaky and has taken us 24 hours to be able to put this one up. (if indeed it goes...!)

Love
Janet

  1. Wow how busy are you Janet? Not a lot of evidence of Lord C's activities, although I have in my mind's eye a vision of the Lord disco-ing !!!
    I am feeling a little envious now !
    Gill's documents have arrived today.
    Love from Julie
