At sea - still

Today is our third sea day and there is a slight swell running. Just enough to let us know we're on a ship.  Formal night produced some absolutely stunning outfits. It's very elegant when everyone dresses up.  Now to the important stuff....trivia. Louise and I are so proud of ourselves - until now our top score has been 11/20 - nothing to be proud of I know. But, today, we scored 13/20 where the quiz person said that the questions were much harder...are we smart or are we smart.  One of the questions was "what word can be used after - coal, blue and great?"  Now, I didn't have a clue, but Louise who comes from the UK knew.  The answer is "tit" - the bird variety.  The guy at the next table who we now refer to as 'the tit man' said he's off to England soon and will be able to tell everyone he's there looking for great tits.  Carol has experienced a credit card problem for some reason. The result is they won't let her spend any money until it's cleared up.  So, guess what, we have to buy her drinks etc.  and no, we're not going to do it for nothing.  She's going to have to earn it by fetching and carrying for us.  We all went to card making yesterday. Carol and Louise said it would be an activity that John and I could really become involved in as a couple - sort of a shared interest.  I don't think this is going to work....and he's absolutely refused to go to quilling today.  And, early notification for the social event of the season when we get home.  We've taken lots of photos of the fruit and vegetable carving demonstration and there will be a 'slide show' when we get home.  I know there will be keen competition for places so get your name down early.  The only other thing I need to say is that I'm looking after my health...I've had smoked salmon for breakfast three days in a row, simply, of course,  for the Omega 3s and because I'm a little worried about antioxidants....have forced myself to drink just a small quantity of red wine every day.
