Day 106 of 113. [8 more sleeps].
The clocks are going back again, tonight. That means we are now on New York time, or, three hours ahead of Langley Time. That is the last of 24 time changes we have had the last 3 1/2 months.

The clocks went back, for most of us, last night. Fellette was up like a flash and dressed ready to whip out the door for the 6.00 am sunrise service where she is singing in a choir this morning. I then reminded her that it was only 4.45, 'the clocks went back!'
I have found that the best way to handle time changes is to adjust your personal timepiece as soon as you are aware there is a time change. As a result of our extra early rising, we had our usual tea and coffee at leisure before heading up to the pool deck for the service.
Normally at home, we would be having a Family Dinner of turkey and maybe ham today. However, this dinner will be held sometime in May so we can still have that family time together.

Our Easter Sunday…
- Up at 4.45, tea and coffee, in the cabin as it was still dark out.
- Up to the pool deck for the 6.00 am Easter Sunrise service where Fellette was singing in a little choir.
- A breakfast with two table mates who attended the service.
- 8.00, down to the Queen's Lounge for the Regular Easter Sunday Service.
- A short read on the deck.
- Down to an interesting question and answer period at 10.00 with the captain and four officers in the Queen's Lounge.
- 11.00, another interesting lecture on Spanish plundering of the New World, treasure ships and sunken treasure, interesting.
- 11.45, quick dash to the Main Dining Room to photograph the Easter Brunch Buffet.
- 12.00, a lunch with Fellette in the upstairs buffet. The Easter Brunch scene was too much for me to take in, for a number of reasons best left at that.
- Another short read on the deck.
- 2.00, back to the Queen's Lounge for another interesting lecture on geology and volcanoes. English woman, very pleasant to listen to.
- Back to the cabin to try and get some rest and do the blog.
- 4.00, shower, shave and get ready for two table mates who we invited in for a chat and drinks prior to dinner.
- 5.30, formal dinner, the last of 17!
- Back to the cabin to post the blog.
- 7.45, down to the Queen's lounge for the evening show, singers tonight.
- To bed around 9.30. Busy day…
Pics.
- The mini-choir.
- The Congregation, around 200.
- Teddy bears and Easter candies from the ship.
- The inquisition of the ship's officers.
- Next seven, the opulence of the Easter Brunch Buffet.
- Last pic. Not too sure who may be living in this cabin. There is much 'door art' on the ship.
