Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we saw boats and birds. Not a lot of both, mind you, but it does indicate we are closer to the coast than previously. In the Captain’s message at 12 noon today, he said we were 54 nautical miles off the coast of Western Sahara. Boats we have seen from time to time – usually big tankers but today we saw a little fishing boat.
And plenty of these birds – 54 nm from the coast, that’s amazing…long way from land.
It was a very overcast and grey day. Being Monday I got to do a lot of work, which was helpful because tomorrow we are in the Canary Islands.
This afternoon, we took a walk to try see if we could go to the 4-D movie. That was on yesterday’s things to do. Well we are now striking that off! This sign had something to do with it. I had visions of wrecking my back.
Chairs that move intensely back and forth and side to side and you need seatbelts!
Looks like a bit of a torture chamber. I’m not a movie person in the first instance. This would work when I was 16, but not 60. Onto tamer things. This, I wouldn’t mind trying – the bowling alley…
I have to convince Mike though, because his ‘frozen’ shoulder is still not 100% and it’s his right shoulder so it would put him at a distinct disadvantage. This is what happens when you get older!
Ah a walk on the deck. A bit windy but very refreshing. Mike trying to raise his right arm!
This is our position now:
And with that I’m off to dinner. I over-ate the other day and got tummy gripes, so today I’ve cut back and only had muesli and fruit for breakfast. I’m now 100% hungry. Mike bought a proverbial chemist with us, including pills for tummy gripes. Such a help!
Genesis 1:20
Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.”
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
