Today was music day.
Superb lecture on Hamilton.
A presentation discussion of why The Music Man beat out West Side Story for the Tony Award.
Relaxed in Carinthia with harpist Fiona McGee. She played Greensleeves for me, so I bought her a coffee.
I was entertained by the guitar and voice of Paul from Amethyst who usually play in Golden Lion as he entertained an afternoon crowd in Carinthia. He melded George Gershwin and LED Zeppelin classics into “Stairway to Somewhere” and referred to Chet Atkins as “the Jedi Knight of the guitar.”
Promised Tracy I would send the Seafoam scarf pattern, so I emailed it.
Had a moment when my cabin steward had put out the packing liner on my bed. Edwin said his paperwork indicating all of his cabins were disembarking tomorrow. Quick trip to Purser’s Office disproved that notion. While there, I got a copy of my bill - good news, despite buying bracelet, I’ve not even spent half my cruise credit! Perhaps I’ll eat Alternative Dining twice on the westbound crossing!
Took Karen’s order for embroidery floss from John Lewis.
Tomorrow’s plans have altered. It’s Sunday so much is not open until afternoon. Also, Athens Ocean Cruise Terminal is closed for construction as it’s being made longer to accommodate a new Italian ship. Then, the Queen Elizabeth Dock was damaged and is being repaired. Long story short, QM2 will be berthed at Mayflower Terminal (no surprise why it’s called that!) which at the upper end of the port. Hence my plan to walk to Solent Sky won’t happen. And, nothing open until noon n Sunday. The new plan is to take the $6 shuttle to West Quay, cab to Solent Sky, cab to Mayflower Dock and be back aboard by 4:30.
Knitting great today. The usual “we will keep in touch” sharing of contact info as the majority leave the ship. Odd how quickly one bonds over yarn!!
High tea with Karen.
Hoping to meet Latrice for drink after dinner.
Found my Matthew Diffie original cartoon sketch about veterinarian pricing. I should have had him sign it.
