Day 10 - Tuesday 18 December - Transatlantic Crossing Day 3

Urgh, 4:10am wakeup :( This insomnia is killing me.

So went to check the internet in the morning, and it turns out when it froze up last night it never logged me out. So nearly two hours all used up. PISSED.

Gave up sleeping around 6:30 (actually 5:30??) and went for a wander. Photoed/videod the Gym, Commodore Club, Board Room and Atlantic Room with noone in them.

Queen Mary 2 Gymnasium - Exercise bikes and elliptical machines

Queen Mary 2 Gymnasium - Weights equipment

The Boardroom

The Boardroom fireplace

The Atlantic Room (with curtains still closed because it was still dark)

The Library Bookshop

Kings Court bay window seating

Kings Court main area before anyone got there

Kings Court corridor - so rare to see this devoid of people!

Picked up a bread roll at King's Court and ate it while the sweetie got ready. Then we had breakfast, much the same as always.

Weather information on the tv in our room. We think this was the roughest the weather got.

Went and finished the comic jigsaw.

Then to the second talk by Bill Miller - Getting there was half the fun - The Last Atlantic Liners. There was a bit of repetition of content but it was still pretty good.

Went around to the starboard side to work on the other jigsaw, but it's not as much fun.

Two Sisters (On the Terrace) (1881), by Renoir, on the jigsaw table

Had lunch with the sweetie.

Then to the planetarium show to see Asteroid - Mission Extreme, narrated by Sigourney Weaver.

Wandered around and ended up at the library so borrowed a Roald Dahl collection of stories. Some of them I've read but others I haven't. And if I don't finish by the time we get off it won't matter.

Plugged things into charge then collapsed into bed from 15:30-17:30. So damned tired :(

Got ready for dinner. This was the formal night that I mixed up with the first one. The first one was the black and white ball and this was just a non-named one. Shoulda worn my dresses around the other way. Oh well.

Dinner is basically a lottery of food. I have no idea about half the descriptions, and even what I do order is completely different to what I expect. I think I should just choose by throwing a dart. I need somewhere between Kings Court and Princess Grill. Oh wait, that would be Britannia. Ended up very full again.
