Friday,3 June 2016,at sea en route to St.Peter Port,Guernsey.

The day is dull and grey,it is unlikely the weather will improve in the next few hours The ship provides activities to suit every age and taste. As every morning there are numerous fitness classes in the gym,two chairobics sessions during the day,fitness body sculpt boot camp late afternoon [this is for the very devoted only] and a gentle sundown stretch at 6. You can line dance, fence,knit, do needlework,even make a hat for tonight's Royal Ascot. [Yes, it is another formal attire tonight ]. There is something on the agenda called FRIENDS OF DOROTHY and FRIENDS OF BILL W,but I have absolutely no idea what it is and have absolutely no intention of finding out. As I am writing a fruit and vegetable carving demonstration is taking place in the Grand Lobby,a feast for the eye,always very popular. And as I am writing am sitting by the window in the most glorious Library,[to me the nicest place to sit on this ship], surpassed only by that on the Queen Mary,I can see people walking by the window,some hurriedly,some taking a more leisurely stroll,clockwise or anti-clockwise,at times almost bumping into each other.I may go and join them but it looks rather windy,may have to go up to my cabin and put on something warm. How I love this life.
