It must be 11th November
Saw some porpoises today. And more flying fish. And a diving bird of some kind. All in about an hour. Also, two military ships, Mexican I presumed.
And still the crew fret about my boredom. I’d said to Antonio I planned to do my washing today – I was only letting him know because the guidance says to avoid doing chores when the crew are trying to do theirs. I had to hide the washing from him to stop him doing it. Mind you he got me at the next stage – by the time I’d got to empty the washer into the drying room, he’d already done it. I think he was sat waiting for it to finish. (He had the last laugh, as well – I’d messed up my white shirt by putting it in with a brown jacket.)
The Chief Engineer is taking me into the Engine Room this afternoon.
Which he did. Very hot and noisy it was too. One day I’ll show you the pictures, if you’re really bad.
Right, well even I’m getting bored with writing up the minutiae of my ship life now – so you definitely must be. So only posts of specific interest or pictures until I’ve at least visited a port or two from now on. By way of a reminder though, here’s my daily programme:
0730 Rise for breakfast (every other day)
0815 Time for a little snooze
0930 Rise properly (steward is normally in for a tidy at 0945)
0945 Cup of tea in lounge
1015 Chat with Antonio (generally)
1045 Perhaps another cup of tea
1100 Walk around deck – wave at dolphins etc
1200 Lunch/Dinner
1245 At leisure
1500 Get on deck as sun-bathing is just about possible at this point
1700 Shower, shave and dressed for dinner
1730 Sundowner on deck
1800 Dinner/Tea
1845 Moonlight stroll
1915 At leisure
2300 Sweet dreams
