At Sea

Attended a lecture yesterday afternoon on Seals.  Think I slept through most of the talk, that’s why I generally sit in the back of the theatre unlike some who sit in the front row and nod off!!!  Then we were invited to a cocktail party with the Venetian Club - this function was for repeat customers with Silversea.  We’ve had one previous cruise but the top cruisers last night had over 500 nights.  The captain and officers attended, Maggi in her long black skirt and jacket.  All the expedition staff were there looking so handsome in suits & perfectly combed hair!!!  They really scrubbed up well LOL!!! Dinner was lovely, the theme was Italian and wines from Tuscany but we were able to convince the waiter to bring us the Sicilian wine again.  

The sea is a little calmer today but last night was very rough.  And having a shower this morning was like treading water at Bells Beach!!!!! The lecture just now was on whales - have decided I don’t want to be a whale but will explain why when I get home!!!  Some good news - just found my specs in our room - they were under a cloth on the dressing table.  Seems odd as I’d looked everywhere but all good.  

A cooking demonstration is now happening in the theatre - it smells so good, probably should have gone. 

As you can gather, not a lot other than trivia today, hopefully more tomorrow when we get near the Orkney Islands.  Like our kids used to say ‘are we there yet?’
