Well it's been another delightful day. I've managed six days in a row in the gym and now intend a rest day tomorrow when we hit our second port. Today's workout was 30 minutes of uphill walking on the treadmill at 5km per hour speed and 5% incline. That's great on both accounts as on each of the last five days I have been slowly building up from 4.5 speed and 4%. The plan tomorrow morning is to relax and enjoy some personal space time, maybe a watercolour or a pastel drawing and a coffee and a read of a brilliant book that I am enjoying regarding the birth of the Tudors. Our onboard daily regime seems to have settled into a healthy breakfast of cereal, and a glass of orange juice and water. Coffee seems to be inevitable, and sea day art class at either 1030 or 3pm depending on how I feel. Gym late afternoon, and then into the jacuzzi early evening for a long soak before changing for pre-dinner drinks. Today was a bit special as we enjoyed our usual on deck lunchtime sandwich, and then saw 'the Theory of Everything' in the stunning and spacious cinema.
The morning art class resulted in this effort. The poem was written just after I sat down and saw the image that we would be interpreting, and was written as I was sketching the outline for the painting.
