At wake up time, rather than Mark & Dave’s Wake Show on Princess TV, we hooked into BBC World News to follow the EU vote, which was very interesting, with Scotland effectively wanting to stay, London wanting to stay, but the majority of England and Wales effectively wanting out. When we left the cabin it was neck and neck, with a small lead to the ‘Remains’.
Nothing out of the ordinary for a sea day, other than no morning trivia. Apparently, as we later found out, they were two or three staff members short.
An opportunity to try and make some progress with the blog before the ukulele beginners class – who seemed to cope with the given tune just as easily as the advanced class.
Just for a change, we then headed to the theatre to watch the movie ‘Man from U N C L E’ which was OK – leaving the door wide open for a follow up.
We didn’t win the afternoon quiz. It looks as though the winners are going to be the same couple of teams at every quiz.
Once again, we went via deck 14 for another go at the pulled pork and coleslaw.
To the Vista for another Adam Dean comedy magic show in which Joanne was one of the stars, mainly because I managed to deflect Adam getting Paula on stage – for which she was very grateful. A very good show but even though we have seen the tricks before, very entertaining, but still worth an 8.5/10.
Dinner for me was lamb chops – and very nice they were too. It was a toss-up at one point between them and the Curtis Stone seafood in a creamy broth, but I’m glad I stuck to the lamb. Neither of the ladies who had it were very impressed. The late show was Kiwi singer Chris Powley. An excellent show and not just because of his singing, but because it was an entertaining show, with more laughs than we have had in some so called comedy shows. His closing number, with a tribute to the late Sir Howard Morrison of ‘How Great Thou Art’ would have made Howie very proud. A standing ovation and well deserved. A quick chat with him afterwards confirmed that he is a very nice guy. Got to be worth a 9/10 at least.
Internet had been down or impossible during the afternoon, but a late connect to check emails was successful.
The BBC News Channel was obviously full of the ‘Brexit’ win and it was blatantly obvious that no-one had any real idea of what that would mean, it was all speculation – and any of us could speculate. Will it mean a stronger trade ties with the Commonwealth or better access for Kiwis and Aussies wanting to work in the UK? No-one knows - yet.
Sorry, a ‘no pics’ day.
