I forgot on an earlier post, but good friends cruising friends from South Australia are going through some very tough health hiccups at the moment - and I don’t have their email address with me. You know who you are and I know you read this blog, so all I can say is that we hope everything comes good and we are thinking of you.
With two more sea days, you could almost fill in the blanks yourselves by now.
The major news announced at afternoon quiz was that Garry’s daughter has produced another grandson for him. We had already scanned the evening dining room menu and opted for the buffet, so we missed the blue balloons on the table! Congratulations anyway.
I went to the tour desk and they printed out my feedback on the Columbo tour so apart from an acknowledgement of receipt, we’ll see what happens. Glenda on the tour desk was very busy inputting from the pile of feedback sheets and I suspect most of them contained a negative comment, despite enjoying Columbo itself.
After a very nice beef stroganoff (more like a beef goulash) and a nice piece of fish plus fresh vegetables, we decided to see what was on in the Vista lounge and managed to catch the ‘Liar’ show. For those not up with it, a weird word is displayed on screen and rather like the board game, ‘Balderdash’, the contestants give their explanation and the audience has to guess who is telling the truth, by casting their written vote.
Food and beverage Director (Gareth) and the staff Captain (Mikele – no idea how to spell it!) were real stars ably supported by Alex from the entertainment staff, Steph as dance captain and Dawn, Circle Host. We had more belly laughs at this than one or two so called comedians!
Clocks on 1 hour again tonight, which appears to be taking its toll on several people. Not jet lag, but time change hiccups.
Saturday September 28th – the last day of winter nights for kiwis.
Another straightforward day and no change from the normal routine other than we (mistakenly!) thought that the others weren’t going to the dining room - so we went to the buffet again! We enjoyed the Thai vegetable curry and also the Thai chicken curry, mixing freshly cooked prawns accompanied with another piece of fish. We are trying our very best to eat more fish, but it often isn’t labelled, so we have no idea what it is…
On to the theatre to see Rochdale lass Lisa Lawton. A very nice singing voice and a warm, homely sort of show. Although not a huge fan of singers generally, this was a good show and Lisa deserved an 8/10.
A late coffee to round off the day of course.
Another hour on tonight, so we are rapidly approaching Australian time again, with I think, just another hour to go, probably in two half hour chunks – just as NZ moves forward an hour anyway.
