The first two days of this cruise which were full of wind and rain have been long forgotten as the sun once again blesses us with its presence. Good morning on this beautiful Friday at sea. I am sitting here with my skinny cappuccino and my bowl of All Bran Rope cereal.

It’s 7:45am, the sun is out, the sea is calm and it is a perfect start to the day……………..unless of course I was to tell you that I was sitting writing to you in just my underwear so I won’t……….I don’t want to spoil that perfect day at sea image.
Another busy day awaits me. Last night after thwarting the kid with the laser pen and once the show was over I had a whole choice of things to do. I couldn’t decide whether to watch the midnight comedian show, have a cigar with some blogger friends and the press or just visit the lounges……………..so…………………I went to bed………………..I had to………….I was running on empty and last night was the first time I have been to bed before 1:00am and the seven hours of sleep I just had has set me up for the very busy day that awaits me.

First, I have a morning show. Usually this starts at 9:30am but as I have received 60 letters I decided it would be best to start it at 9:00am to allow me enough time to read everyone’s dedications before the 11:00am debarkation talk. By the way, I am now drinking a bottle of water to wash down this lump of dried fruit and wood shavings Heidi is making me eat for breakfast. The bottle tells that the water has come from the mountains of Switzerland and has flowed there for hundreds of years……….now if that is the case…………why does this bottle of water tell me that I have to drink it by October 2008? It’s one of those things that really annoys me………………a bit like the fact that when Heidi puts her mascara on she does so with her mouth open……..like some basking shark……….it is impossible for her to do this maneuver with her mouth closed and I have witnessed that this is an affliction suffered by thousands of women……………….and that’s me in the doghouse.
