Sea Day 3/9 – sunshine and breeze

Sea, sky, and breeze is what I get when I open the French Balcony doors. There is enough space to stand there, barely.

 

And, since the network seems to be letting me upload photos this morning – I am providing you with three views – from the door, from the “balcony” end and of note – one of the walls in the sitting area is mirrored. Which also serves to prove that I am actually on the ship.. I mentioned before that Windstar, in an effort to do? increase profitability? make the ship more comfortable? – whatever – had “stretched the ship. I am now in the front original portion of the ship. The bathroom has also been completely refurbished. Strangely enough, the carpet hasn’t been updated and a lot of the furniture is worn… 

Beyond that – I was able to connect with YouTube for a short while this morning which let me see the Las Palmas live feed. Then everyone got up..

I am ignoring the lecturer – for those who are not technology inclined – learning about smart phones might be a good idea… and how to avoid slow, expensive and totally messed up screens..

There was also cross stitching – I worked on three projects. I should finish the Barbara Ana – Dreaming of Klimt tomorrow – less than 500 stitches to go.

The last part of “There is no Planet B” by Cloudsfactory.net dropped yesterday. 200 stitches done and another 2k to finish. 

I also put more stitches into my LongDog sampler. It is the quickest stitch of the batch since it is. monochromatic

Now, the other thing I would really like is if Nitka posted the “Winter Dog” so that I could stitch the last of the Four Seasons before the end of the cruise….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
