Quote of the day: “The bingo’s off, and the buffet is closed. If the power doesn’t come back on soon, I might just have to go to choir practice after all.”
Breakfast this morning was rudely interrupted by a sudden loss of ship’s power: lights went off, and the ship slowly came to a halt. This lasted about 15 minutes or so, but fortunately my omelet was already on its way to the table, so I didn’t have to go without.
The same thing happened again around 9.30am, while I was at a lecture in the theatre. The lecturer continued with a few jokes, but finally had to call it a day. The next 3 hours were spent with nothing functioning, so I used the time to write this blog, and have a quiet read and a doze in my cabin… best place to be, as the toilets in the public areas were already starting to pong a little!
Fortunately the seas are calm today, so we weren’t rocking around too much, but the lack of air conditioning meant it got quite hot… So no coffee until the afternoon, and a late lunch all round. Oh, and I think everyone now has a greater appreciation of the delights of running water and flushing toilets!
