As we’re at sea for the next couple of days, it’s time to wake up our brains and take advantage of some of the onboard activities!
“Reporting Terrorism, Writing History” – First of three live presentations by ex-BBC Correspondent, Margaret Gilmore
“Infinity Express” at Illuminations (the Ship’s own Planetarium) – The History of the Universe
“Political Parties and their Social Media Strategies” – Radio 4 series of ‘Media Show’ Podcasts
“Godiva Chocolate Afternoon Tea”*
Well, three out of four isn’t bad, I suppose! *Under International Maritime Law, “Chocolate consumed at sea for the purposes of enjoyment and critical review does not contain any calories”. I know it’s true, because I just read it on Facebook! #flakenews We ate in the Britannia Restaurant again tonight – and it was superb! Then it was off to the Ship’s Cinema to see the film: Swallows and Amazons before finishing-up in the Golden Lion Pub.
Wednesday, 11th
The clocks went back 30 minutes last night (weird amount!)
As we’re at sea, it’s another formal night tonight, and we’re going super-posh and eating in the Verandah Restaurant.
Before that though, another lazy day, feeding the brain! (in my case, that shouldn’t take long!)
“Identifying the Terrorists” – The second of Margaret Gilmore’s presentations about terrorism
“Fleet Street vs Online News Reporting” – Radio 4 series of ‘Media Show’ Podcasts
“Sea Turtles – Ancient Ocean Dwellers” – A 50-minute presentation (that felt more like 5000!) in the Ship’s Theatre. Great subject, knowledgeable Speaker, Death by PowerPoint
It’s Colombo in Sri Lanka tomorrow where we’re on a half-day walking tour of old Colombo – visiting the Pettah District, Khan Clock Tower, Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque and the Old Dutch Hospital complex.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
