Queen Mary 2 Day 9

MRide much smoother as seas mellow. Then Captain announces at mid-day location speech that the will get much bigger during the afternoon and evening as the winds from the storm increase. 

I am bemused by the woman Sheila met who is writing a book on art galleries. She chooses to do this sitting at a high top in the loud, noisy, full-of-movement Carinthia Lounge. More power to her! 

Dr Crowe presented on the wonders of the Solar System. The planetarium presented Stars over the Atlantic. I wish today had not been foggy so I could have looked through Dr. C's telescope. 

A bit of Christmas appeared in my cabin after lunch: 

 

It inspired me to hang my Christmas stocking!! 

 At dinner, Sheila mentioned this couple she met from Jacksonville. After dinner, we're walking out as they exit and I recognize Tenika Hughes the news anchor from Jax! How cool is that!

Then kareoke in Golden Lion as Robert sings and Pat, Sheila ans I are the women in the midst of a herd of guys!? What a tough life!!!
