The
clocks went forward an hour. I went to bed at midnight (which became 1am) and
finally decided to get up at midday. I'd woken a few times but felt too weary
and tired to get up. I didn't know if it was the result of preparing for the
cruise in a hurry or if it was the new sleeping tablet that the doctor had
prescribed. (It had seemed okay at home though.)
I
made it to the end of the cha cha lesson and then
to lunch, but went back to bed at 2pm and listened to a story and dozed until
5pm.
I
thought I could start on my diary before dinner and found to my horror that
Microsoft Office would not work. The last time I had used it was on my last
cruise, and I had no problems then. I have no idea what has gone wrong but
everything this time will have to be typed on stickies or Word pad and then copied
into emails to send to my home computer, to be recopied into Word.
The
Black and White Ball was on in the evening and I wore my new black jersey dress
with gold beading. I'd had the hem taken up for my short height in the weeks
before leaving, and hoped that the length would be right and I would not trip
over again this night! I managed okay.
Great
dancing again in the ballroom, but the quote of the night was from a very
strange lady (who later became a friend) who stopped on her way out and told
me: 'I like your hair. Don't change it. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS. It's
gorgeous.' Quick, where's a mirror?!
