Tuesday 31st march: We are ploughing through a much heavier, rougher sea than we have experienced for some time. As I look out of our balcony doors, apart from watching the horizon rising and dipping I see long white capped swells and large waves hitting the sides of the ship and spraying high wide arcs of white foam. Quite picturesque really if you're not susceptible to nausea or vertigo which some passengers certainly are. George has taken the ever available sea sickness pills from the clinic but I seem to be, as George puts it so delicately, tough as old nails....charming.
George has gone slightly mad and actually excercised seriously this morning in the presently empty gymn and wellness spa. He has been sound asleep for the past hour but has now recovered enough to knock back a few health drinks....Pernod in this instance! I, having exerted myself not at all, am into the red wine....well a third of a glass before lunch to celebrate no classes or rehearsals! The afternoon is set aside for 'firming up' my lines....so was this morning but I'm reading such a good book (Coastliners by Joanne Harris) I decided to put off the evil hour.
We are having a special sit down and be served dinner tonight as there are so few of us on board; apparently it is as good as the Captain's dinner which was wonderful. Let's hope the sea calms down or there will be even fewer people in the dining room! Poor Nilo is feeling very ill again and there are a number of greenish faces in the corridors.
Will end this until later or tomorrow and finally run lines with George..........oh dear!
