Still Day 1 at sea with the sun now setting on the horizon at the stern of the ship. The evening breeze still allows for shorts and t-shirts, although I wonder for how many more evenings this will be the case. I have achieved my 10,000 steps target in good time, after losing miserably at whist earlier this afternoon. The organiser, Michael invited me to join him and Sandy for formal afternoon tea in the Queen’s Room. A string trio played for the guests, recreating something that might well have occurred in the days of regular timetabled steamship travel. The sea has been calm, flying fish came into view on many occasions, one falling victim to a bird which must have hitched a lift on QM2! Now, it’s time to don the white tuxedo for a Gala evening. What I do like is not having to wear a jacket for dinner on casual nights. I have heard nobody complain that standards have dropped, the usual comment on a sea voyage!
Thanks for reading, David, 19.19 hrs 1/2/22. It might be difficult to post a blog tomorrow at 20.22hrs, 2/2/22, but I will try at 22.22hrs tomorrow!
