22/7 Another sea day


Sunday 22nd Good to be back at sea

C was up on his private deck at 6.30 again. Very apt to be doing Sun Salutations to the rising sun. We were one off the pace in the Science quiz after forgetting who discovered the cure for rabies, which most people knew. A lazy restful day. Our luck picked up later on and we won 2 sessions in airline emblems (thanks Dieter for Solomon airlines) and animals even though they insisted the Chinese zodiac included the wart hog ( for which the German and French answers were both “pig”).

We had a big go at the gym before dinner, having to prise the Fn French off the joggers to have a turn. There is a 20 minute limit but somebody has torn all the signs down and these cochons would not budge despite their machines reading 34 and 43 minutes. We have never seen such behaviour before.

The American/Israelis were back in force for dinner. Yaldon is staying awake all night and sleeping through the day but they are treading lightly because he has been at the wacky backy at home and they are trying to steer him back. They bought him a skydive yesterday which he was quite blasé about, although J managed to elicit some admission of feeling nervous.

They had had enough of the evening shows but we went along because they had scheduled another production show – Elements (earth air fire and water) .The costumes were extravagant in the extreme and contributed to the dancing. The singers were ok but we have all seen the man dangling from ribbons over and over and he needed to take it further.
