Saturday 25th
No morning trivia today – just the
quiz corner, which was different again. The crew had a full emergency drill. We
spent a couple of hours in the gym then went to lunch. One of the chefs offered
to make us a risotto with mushroom and asparagus so we thought it would be fun
to watch. He did it very much the way my Masterchef recipe works, except that
he throws in all the stock at once. And he started with a lot of garlic. The
rice had been pre-cooked and chilled.
We have been watching the guest
lectures on TV in the cabin rather than sitting in the live sessions because
then we can split our attention. Alternatively we watch TV in the gym. We
didn’t manage to win anything all day – the older Americans were only at the
first session and the English lady turned up this evening for the late session.
Martin and Virginia were at the Gold Members cocktails and didn’t play. We
turned up and had one champagne but didn’t stay.
I went to the internet centre and
signed up – we qualify for 2 hours free each which is excellent. We went back
just before dinner when the response was faster and checked our internets. No
news but I was delighted that the Eagles had thrashed Collingwood and were 3rd
with one week to play. This evening we logged on and posted the blog up until
last night. The evening show was pretty unexciting – 3 young chaps who had
appeared in American soaps trying out as singers.
