Food Glorious Food

Sorry for the problems you might of had reading my last blog entry, changing the font to red (very appropriate) seems to have done the trick. A sure fire sign that stormy waters are ahead is when wads of seasick bags mysteriously appear on all the stair landings, this coupled with many empty chairs in the dinning room. We have had a couple of days of heavy breaking seas, which you must expect at this time of year in Mid Atlantic. At this time of year, as we get closer to the Azores the winds should start dying down and it will warm up (fingers crossed). With the limited amount of deck pursuits that can be carried out due to the adverse weather, inside activities become very popular. One of the most popular pastimes is finding a quiet corner, settle down in a comfy chair and pretend to read, which very quickly becomes eyes closed and snoring and in extreme circumstances combined dribbling. I ventured around a corner by the Theatre and happened on a husband & wife snoring/dribbling formation team that were managing about a 6 on the Richter scale. Eating at any opportunity seems to be another favoured pastime 24 hours constant  grazing can be achieved by following this timetable; The Plazza, Continental Breakfast 6.30am - 7pm, Marco Pierre White at Cafe Jardin, Breakfast 7.00am -11.00am, The Plazza, Brunch, 10.30am - 11.45am, Ligurain Restaurant, Lunch, Noon - 3.00pm, The Plazza, Afternoon Tea, 3.00pm - 5.30pm, then same venue, Neptune's Seafood Buffett 6.00pm - 9.30pm, Marco Pierre White's, Dinner 6pm - 10.30pm, Late Night Snacks 10.30pm - 3.30am. As you can see some very serious troughing, how the serious eater can sustain themselves in that three hour window when no food outlets are available? The answer dear reader is to be found in your cabin info pack, Room Service available 24 hours, this information is brought to you by our sponsors Gavisgon and Settlers. Still it is time for me to put on the Tuxedo/ Dinner Jacket and dickie bow tie in readiness for the Captain's welcome aboard Cocktail Party or as I refer to him "The Driver" and some free P&O house wine, I will give you a full report in my next bulletin.
