Like Watching Paint Dry...

Thursday, January 29. Cloudy. 28 C. 

At sea, somewhere in this immense ocean. Creeping along at seven knots an hour.  I am not going to try and describe where in the world we are except to say that we are approaching Papua New Guinea and will be in Australia in 11 days.      

There is really nothing to write about. Life is really great if you like doing nothing. One needs to keep ones body in shape so that takes some doing. It is also a good chance to catch up on reading but I can have too much of that in a hurry, Fellette is quite content to quietly read for hours on end. 

I dislike to keep referring to our age as a reason for not being interested in activities aboard the ship but that is God's Honest Truth. Over the years I /we have done almost everything possible onboard ships from Dancing Lessons, Tai Chi, Trivia, Horse Racing, Knocking Golf Balls into the Ocean, even shooting Clay Pigeons off the deck but declined on that, and Lectures galore. We are not interested in Wine Tasting or Cooking Lessons and Spa Sessions are of no interest. I think that everyone undergoes many moments and hours of boredom [relaxation] but unlike me they do not write about it, daily. I see the same people/couples on sea days playing crib or other games together, endlessly. Watching their iPhones seems to be big time time waster! Some just read, some sleep on deck chairs. Some just bake in the sun, believe it or not! There is never ever everybody doing the same thing all at the same time. There is a heck of a lot on napping going on I will tell you! 

Felette and I had another appointment with the Ship's Doctor this afternoon. It was at my request. Fellette still has a very swollen bosom from the car incident 29 days ago. The bruises have gone away and she can sleep normally I would say but her entire chest is still swollen to the point of restriction. We had a deep and thorough examination and talk with the doctor today. Believe it or not there is still more time to go before things should be getting back to normal. There is always the possibility of us pursuing further tests in Australia which they would be happy to arrange. Right now we think the plan may be to look for a larger brasserie whilst in Cairns in 11 days. How about that being the highlight of the day and Too Much Information!
