Today was a weird sort of day.
It started last night when we couldn’t sleep. Norm finally fell asleep about 3:30 and I
didn’t sleep at all.
When Norm woke at 11 we went up to get something to eat then take a walk. It was colder today, not a lot, but the seas
were quite active all night and day. Not
my favorite thing. So, at noon we heard
that the wind was at 25 knots and the Beaufort Wind Force was 6. Previous days the force has been 3 or 4 except
overnight one night (which I didn’t know about because I was asleep) when it
went to 7. All I know is that the
stronger the wind and the greater the force, the more the ship rock and rolls.
We were invited to a Champagne Afternoon Tea which we attended. Very interesting ceremony involved in having
the Afternoon Tea and they can feed you until you cry uncle. First you are offered various teas which you
have to smell and then decide which you will have. Then they bring a 3-tiered tray of
goodies. The teas are timed to make sure
they have set the appropriate length of time before being served. When you’re about halfway through the tray,
they come back time after time offering a variety of small sandwiches. After the tea, it was obvious that there
would be no dinner tonight; there wouldn’t be room for it. The photo below shows the initial offering.
We went to the Royal Court Theatre to see a show called Apassionata
which was an extravaganza of dance featuring the Cunard Singers and Dancers –
fun! It didn’t blow Norm’s skirt up but
I really enjoyed it. Afterwards we went
to the Royal Ascot Ball and even danced!! Hallelujah!
Sending love R/P
