Having thanked the fortune-teller

I took a slow walk back to the ship,picking up today's Daily Mail on the way.In spite of every possible information available on the internet,there is something quite special about a newspaper.I love reading magazines, too, and bring several with me on every trip.I stopped in the Oriental dining room for lunch - some beef curry and a side salad,nice.Then I sat down to my Toshiba and at 3 was ready to sunbathe on the balcony.The sun was glorious,the breeze at times quite strong, then the clouds took over the sky.Quick shower and at 6 was standing in a long queue in front of the dining room..Had the nicest of the nicest tables, 106, by the window,quite special,even though we were still stationary and I spent 45 minutes looking at people returning to the ship.Dinner was very good indeed-Lancashire black pudding,award winning no less,with a fried egg, bacon crumb,cheddar cheese, onion and sage soup,pan fried red mullet fillet,potato gnocchi,Mediterranean vegetables,shellfish ragout,baked New York cheese cake with raspberry coulis.On the way back to my stateroom I stopped in the Headliners theatre to see the last half an hour of the show called Gravity, by the Britannia troupe,having missed 15 minutes.It was a lovely end to a lovely and quite an educational day.
