It wouldn't go - slow connection - here's the gist-
G says that he feels like the Ancient Mariner.
I didn't explore further as the things we are not short of are food & water & we have yet to see an albatros!
We sailed on Mon night at 11,59pm, a storm force 8 promised & everything stowed/held down - apart from the shelves in the shop, apparently.
This opened yesterday.
Veterans of many cruises are surprised by the swell - a lot of "rock & roll" ( but no sign of seasickness)
Highlight of the day was watching the newly filled jacuzzi pour most of it's contents over the adjoining sunbeds. I was noted at lunch as the "lady who laughed". Rather a lot, actually.
UPgraded to a junior suite - champagne, fruit & flowers on arrival, daily canapes, fresh cut fruit & chocolates on the pillows. Only one grade higher. Fantastic.
We thought that this was normal until we looked at the plan to find our Muster Station & realised that there are only 4 larger cabins & we should be in the bowels, not on deck 7/9.
We checked out our cabin - list on the door of jobs to be done - all possible!
Praise the Lord!
I've joined the choir (practice daily for 1 hour when at sea), we go to lectures, the gym the spa...
A floating" "Mount" (Woking) but with other like-minded youngsters.
I walked a high speed mile around the top deck after breakfast in the fresh air whilst G taught an inmate to use the internet, then a lecture on Alexandria, lunch, a tour of the bridge with the Captain, the gym, choir practice then dinner in the Yacht Club (posh - Italian, 5 course)
Now to bed, up at 5.30am, then off to Alexandria, back late.
Christmas decorations going up today.

Glad you're having a good time - all fine here - Christmas tree up & just had a Christmas meal with Lee, Sue & Ben.
Looking forward to J's perfomance on Wed and Ireland at the weekend!

T now needs to sit behind a 'judges desk' when we watch 'strictly'. It has to have a glass of water on it, and some paper for him to furiously write comments. No-one but Layla and Anton are given his good scores. I even had to phone in a vote for them..but it didn't do them any good, they are out!!. It is a serious business watching Strictly with T!

E your stories about T are hilarious!
