Still at sea - 8th January

This should be our last full day at sea for a while. We are still in heavy seas and last night a different drawer decided to slide in and out of It's, very noisy, own accord. Fixes on the desk drawers and the wardrobes worked at treat though.

Our stay in Maderia has now changed from a full day on Saturday, to arrival at noon on Saturday and departure on Sunday afternoon. Our tour is postponed to the Sunday morning, and there's an extra trip on Saturday night, though I doubt mum will feel up to that!

The sea is a lot calmer now, so after breakfast mum and I ventured outside on deck 7. A bit blowy, and the ship is still rocking but it was nice to get some fresh air (sort of force fed air at times).

We had our lunch in the Avon restaurant again, then mum went for a rest, and I went to the gym, and then a stalk about the Canary Islands. Table tennis again later, and we're getting to know the other players. There's a small number of new people each time, but a definite core of got players. Most in their 70's, and a few of us in our 50s at a guess. Lots of walking sticks, but seriously good players even so.

Tonight we shall probably go to the show, the Balmoral show company presenting 'The Fab 30s'.
