Cruisin'

Have returned from holiday, so everything is crap as it is no longer sunny and my tan is due to fade.  There is also no ice cream.  Schade.


When on a cruise ship, I have learnt that there are certain things you must avoid doing:

1.  'iceberg, right ahead!' - even if you say this when on the back of the ship (i.e. sailing away from the non-existent iceberg) people still panic.  So don't do it.

2.  'this lifts going down a lot  faster than usual' when in a crowded lift.  Only the deaf will remain in the lift with you.

3.  'what flavour ice cream is there?' when the sea is choppy.  People will get sick.


I still haven't unpacked.  My room is like the dead sea; near impossible to wade through when I need to put mascara on.  Which reminds me, putting mascara on when you are on a ship is near impossible, I kept jabbing myself in the eye.  Walking in heels was also a lot harder...I did my usual 'walking in heels routine' where I pretend I'm super Mario, and I get points for overcoming obstacles like steps, slippery floors, and pensioners.

I am thinking of learning a musical instrument again.  I'd quite like to revisit the piano, but I also really like the idea of playing the bagpipes.  I could be like the pied piper of Hamelin, and could adapt my skills to get all of the rubbish men out of Scotland, leaving only hot and eligible gentlemen.
