day 50, at sea

We're sitting on the balcony again and it is another beautiful day. The direction of the ship means that we get the afternoon sun and so we have been getting a nice tan even though we aren't exactly trying to do that.

Sophie, we are very impressed that your exhibit is at Exton! We will definitely go and see it we get back.

Sarah, we like Crazy Rummy best too. Believe it or not, we met some people in the card room playing a game called "May I" and it turns out that this is yet another variation of Crazy Rummy! Can you believe it?

I am still feeling poetic. Here are two of my favorites-remember no Internet!

1." An Emerald Isle set in a silver sea". If you get the author too, that is extra points. I couldn't find this on the internet so maybe the quote isn't exactly right or maybe I am just incompetent at looking things up!

2. I think this is the only good line in the poem but it is a great one. "If I should die think only this of me, that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England".

By the way, we both won at whist yesterday again. There is a prize for men and a prize for women. We aren't going today. There may be some people who are glad about that! It really is mostly luck.

We skipped dinner last night in an effort to control her weight. I think the two guys that make up our room think we're kind of weird. I can almost hear a number of you agreeing with that!

By the way, for those of you who don't know, there is a place at the end of the blog to make comments. We would love to hear from you, partly to know who is reading this.
