One Really Lazy Day – November 17

 

I don’t think I accomplished one thing of any importance the entire day.  I didn’t even finish one row of knitting.

 

I had Sunday Brunch with Judy, Bob, and Sandy.  I know, it isn’t really Sunday but because we have a number of Sundays in port, they had a brunch today.

 

I played 1pm trivia and then couldn’t decide what I wanted to do.  I didn’t really have any desire to do anything, so I headed back to my cabin to think about the afternoon.  I walked outside for a bit and realized the perfect thing would be to sit in one of the deck chairs on Deck 3. I usually cannot sit more than 3 minutes without having to do something, but I enjoyed just looking out at the ocean and sat for over an hour.  I had taken my knitting with me but I didn’t even get it out of the bag.

 

Eventually, it was time to head to the Crow’s Nest for 4pm trivia.  It was one of (if not the) worst trivias (even including the ones when I didn’t have a team) that I have attended.  It was supposed to be a Lightning Trivia.  In lightning trivia, the question is supposed to be read twice, then 30 seconds to write down the answer, and then the answer is given.  One problem today was that we could not understand a lot of what she said (strong accent and mispronunciation of words) and some of the questions did not make sense.  Most of the questions were about Africa with a couple of questions about the US (like what state the most turkeys come from), and even to guess how old she is.  A few times she didn’t even give 30 seconds for you to write down an answer.  Some people got up and left.  I will not be putting up any questions from this trivia.

 

I made my four lap walk and then got ready for 7 pm trivia.  

 

There was only three of us for dinner.  I went to the show which was Saxophonist Akos Laki, who was very good.  Tonight’s show was supposed to be the singers and dancers but Covid has hit them, so they won’t be performing for at least a few days.

My usual lap around the deck after the show.

Another sea day tomorrow.
