Very entertaining show last night, as seen on the West End, Pride and Prejudice (sort of).
Our dining companions this week had warned us off it as being not very good and full of gratuitous bad language. It’s an irreverent version of the story we know and love, performed by five women who take on several roles each. It’s also a musical, with famous pop tunes. The performers are very talented.
Went straight to bed after dinner.
Our last full day on board is a sea day. My timetable had a couple of clashes which was upsetting, but I decided to go to another Zumba session since I’ve been enjoying them so much. I fitted in the last astronomy talk on space telescopes but couldn’t find time for the last spy talk, which was on trade craft. Hopefully they replay it on tv before we arrive tomorrow.
I also made time for a Pilates class, my first ever. Unlike Zumba, it wasn’t cardio to music, but rather strength training. It was really tough and I’ll be aching all over tomorrow. I’m sure it was good for me but it wasn’t much fun.
It’s now early evening and we’re back in our happy place, up above the bow on deck 12, the Commodore Club. As I sip my cocktail, in my posh dress, listening to the saxophone player, looking out at the view, and reading my book on the history of cod, I’m feeling very satisfied with my holiday. Thank goodness Simon’s health allowed it to happen!
