Sea Day Cloudy 29c  2.5 metre swell ship moving about a bit.

Bettys hair washing day today so I went to Breakfast on my own so that I could g to the port talk. Betty had a later breakfast but she did catch me up at the talk. Today the port talk was about  Athens and as always it was quite interesting. We sat with Bev & Ian and Bev offered some cough mixture for Betty’s cough so they went to get it and Ian and I went to the La Patisserie on deck 5 to order coffees. Afterwards we could have played doubles table tennis or gone to Zumba class or tried the Fun @ sea Champagne Hoopla or even attended morning trivia but we decided to read our books. At lunch today the Australian Pie was served but no Pie Floaters (Only the SA people will know what I am talking about) Ballroom today was a review but we have decide to give it a miss as we are not happy with the way John is running the class. He insists on making every dance progressive so we stay out and dance on the carpet which is not very enjoyable. If he is doing a dance we particularly want to do we may go again. Betty and Bev went to “Runway At Sea Fashion Show”  the clothes were modelled by passengers. I did 3 laps around deck 7 which was quite an experience as the wind was blowing so hard that down one side you were blown along and down the other side you had to battle gale force wind which is why I only did 3 laps.

Showtime for us was vocalist, dancer & musician Nathan Foley. Those of you who remember the group Hi Fives will know his name. I know three girls who will remember him. He now has a solo act singing music from the 50s,60s 70s & 80s. He is a bundle of energy. Early start tomorrow for us, on our tour of Colombo so we did not stay up late.
