Is it Tuesday or is it Wednesday?

I have lost the sense of time and that's how I like it. It has been a glorious day.A long walk on the 14th floor just after seven in the morning,the sun rose at 6.33,but it was hidden under ominous dark clouds,yet a rainbow in the cone-like shape appeared unexpectedly and joyfully took its time to cross over the horizon.Breakfast of porridge and freshly squeezed orange juice was satisfying and I retired to my cabin.At 9 a thirty minute workout.Just when I think I am in good shape, 30 minutes of vigorous movement reminds me my muscles are far too many and they ache in unison! Aaah,the joy of the balcony,of being able to shed my inhibitions together with all my clothes and let the by then powerful sun-rays do their magic.The vast expanse of never ending blue water rocking this mighty vessel and you never want it to end.Yet the ocean can be so very fickle and unpredictable thus so very dangerous.The strong winds suddenly raised the waves and dispersed the innocent merry playful clouds and covered the sky with an almost black blanket instead, only to chase that away,too, quite quickly and efficiently.And then there was the captain's talk at 12 over the loud speaker and time for lunch.The lunch was a pleasant affair in the Waterfront dining room,Swedish meatballs and tandoori chicken with rice.I was craving a nice desert,a really,really nice desert and went up to the self-service to look for one, but it was mouse after mouse after mouse,all soft and floppy,so took two pieces of the freshest bestest brown bread and 2 slices of cheese,some red melon and quite pleased with myself went to my cabin only to be met by a room attendant who has seen me carrying plateful of food several times before,we had a good laugh,I said I have a lodger, a stowaway in my cabin. Then it was the balcony again and before I said Jack Robinson it was time for shower and 19.00 theatre show,DIVAS,tribute to Gloria Gaynor,Whitney Houston,Adele and many more. Dinner at 8.30 in the Waterfront restaurant was excellent,a savoury pancake,yes,I got my pancake,filled with mushrooms and it was sooo good,then pea soup,very green,very pea as pea soup should be and tasty and even though I ordered Jack Dory,got sweet and sour chicken instead and I did not mind at all, it was delicious.I even had a pudding,rum baba, and I didn't find anything wrong with it,had the lot quite happily with a nice cup of tea, tea looked anaemic,but was nice, next time must put in less milk. And so to bed. Well,that's what you were expecting me to say,because that is what I would usually do.But tonight there is a party for the employees starting at 22.00,so we,the travellers, are being treated to a movie "Flight" under the stars, with Denzel Washington.I have seen it,so have decided to walk on the 14th floor,just one floor above the screen.Wonderful.And now to bed. Yes,now to bed.
