King Neptune and all that...

Quote of the Day: “He didn’t like cooking smells in the house, so he had another kitchen built in the garage, and his wife had to do all the cooking out there. But then he was a little odd. He was Austrian.”

Crossing the Equator is a great excuse for a whole heap of nonsense! King Neptune arrived on board at noon, and shortly after there was much ranting by his entourage, throwing around of spaghetti, smearing of goop, and kissing of fish – who on earth came up with these things??? Everyone gets a certificate saying they have made the crossing, and the Cruise Director’s staff get to dress up for a few hours – plain old fashioned silly fun…

Apart from that, it was another cozy day at sea. I did my usual sea day things: breakfast (those wonderful omelets), coffee, gym, read, sleep, snack, lecture, coffee and scones, trivia, gym again, dinner, show, drinks, and before you know it, it’s nearly midnight. So where did the day go?

Unfortunately the internet on here is now running very slow, same as last year. Rumour has it that it's on purpose to make you buy more time as you try to organise your arrival back home...

Oh, and the choc art is progressing rather nicely too: 74 chocolates and still going. It’s taking longer and longer to rearrange now, and taxing my imagination… and Mr Sumee still hasn’t commented!!!
