At Sea – January 27, 2018

After not being able to fit a swim in my busy schedule yesterday, I was up early and in the pool by 8:30.  Water aerobics started at 9.  After an hour in the pool I was hungry and had bacon and a roll (and, of course, orange juice) for breakfast.

Changed and headed off to Sit and Stitch at about 10:15.  Stayed until almost 11:30 before heading to trivia which was another hard one.  We had 7 out of 15 and the winners only had 10.

1)In what year was Ringling Brothers Circus founded?

2)Who wrote “The Time Machine”?

3)What was the name of Darwin’s survey ship?

4)What was the name of the original Love Boat?

5)What animal gives birth to identical quadruplets?

Headed back to my cabin after trivia to bag my laundry, get my book, and leave my knitting before heading to lunch. 

Met Cyndi at 1:30 in preparation for arts and crafts.  Today’s project was a Pandora-style beaded bracelet.

Sat out in the sun and read until after 4 and then to afternoon trivia where we had 11 correct but two teams tied with a perfect score of 17.

1)What is the currency of Norway?

2)Who was Hamlet’s girlfriend?

3)Where was the Panama Hat invented?

4)What is Taphephobia?

5)Who wrote the 007 novels?

Listened to Jamm in the piano bar who was playing golden oldies before dinner.  Cyndi and Ed were at the Captain’s Dinner so there were only five of us.  I had fruit, a salad, prime rib and cookies and cream frozen yogurt for dessert.

Went to the show which featured a comedian.

My computer continues to refuse to resize pictures.  The little blue circle just spins and spins and spins.  Guess it is time to talk to Claudia, the techspert.

Alofi, Niue tomorrow
