Day Thirteen–At Sea

After the poor weather yesterday it was pleasing to wake up once again to sunshine coming through the balcony doors. The wind however was still quite blustery although it was easy to find a spot that was protected from the worse. The kitchen staff were busily setting up the tables for the on-deck barbeque so it was anticipated that the crew were aware of an improvement in the weather.

We have had quite a success in the quizzes over the last few days, but as always a winning streak must come to an end. Today was that day!! The quiz was a TV comics quiz, usual format recognise the star from the photograph and then answer a supplementary question. We only failed on three questions,unable to recognise one guy completely [I still can’t remember who he is!!], getting the wrong name for Mrs Merton’s son and forgetting Ralf Little’s name. Unfortunately that was enough to lose by ONE POINT, so no prize today.

We all decided to eat at the BBQ and after collecting the children, settled down to enjoy our burgers, chicken and hot dogs.

Joseph loved sitting on the sunbeds and playing with his Daddy.

While Poppy met up with Ruby, her friend from Kid’s Club. You would have thought that they had been separated for months rather than the ten minutes that had been apart!!

The entertainment tonight were a Tamla-Motown soul tribute band called “The Tops” who were excellent. They played a number of classics including “Mustang Sally”, “Land of a Thousand Dances”, finishing with the Four Tops’ “Reach Out I’ll be There”. They not only sang well but also performed all the moves expected of this type of band.

Wonderful company tonight again in the main dining room, altogether yet another successful day. Tomorrow the last port of call – Malaga.
