More rocking and rolling and at 2am we were awake so I switched on the TV. The Grand Prix wasn’t on live but the sports news channel was enough to find out that Hamilton had been tapped by his team mate. Oh dear.
I finally woke 8am and did manage to watch the last 5 laps. Better than nothing! Paula was still asleep so I managed to watch most of ‘The Sting’, one of my favourite movies and one that brought Ragtime piano back into popularity for a while. The title tune ‘The Sting’ is in fact ‘The Entertainer Rag’ and when (if) my left hand is restored, I am determined to learn how to play it, having started to learn it well over 30 years ago.
Juts for a change, breakfast was with ace Rock n’ Roll dancers Graham and Linda. (That first pic is Graham resting his feet, ready for some energetic dancing later.)
After trivia, once again, no seats so no morning coffee, but lunch at 12:30.
For our last formal night, we had an early show – impressionist Danny McMaster. We’d seen his show before and enjoyed it this time too. An amazing range of characters and almost all done very well. On then to the Captain’s farewell drinks in the Atrium, but this time, Paula steered well clear of the red wine! We caught up with new evening musical trivia friends, Theresa and Errol from the UK. (Picture 2.)
Dinner was one of my Princess favourites ‘Veal Orloff’.
The last Production Show for us was a tribute to ‘The Beatles’ – ‘ Here There and Everywhere’. Not very impressed. As noted before, the scenery is virtually non-existent and the mismatched male singers (one tall, hefty and bald, the other small and swarthy – who can at least sing); mismatched male dancers (one tall, thin and young, the other solid, dark and squat and looking more like a boxer) made it almost awkward to watch at times.
However, tomorrow is the big day, August 25th, with so many promises and treats.
Can’t wait!
Clocks back another hour tonight.
