Perhaps not fully recovered yet

Usual early morning and felt quite good and the nurse had released me from quarantine in the suite. We went to have breakfast and then returned and Jennifer went to sit outside the  Arts CafĂ© to enjoy her book whilst I stayed in the suite catching up on the daily blog and checking on bank and credit card accounts to see if anyone is trying to steal from us, its has happened before which is why I check the accounts every day to be sure.

The room staff arrived to clean the room and in view of my recent issues I was directed to the balcony as they fumigated the room for safety sake, which I thought was excellent.

Chelsea were hosting Brighton and Hove Albion and Stamford bridge today and it was going to be on the Ships Sport channel and so I watched this for a couple of hours , Oh Chelsea why do the same old trick, 2 nil up and rest on you laurels and become casual which allows the opposition to go in hard. Just before half time the acting Captain was sent after two yellow cards and so we would be down to 10 men for the complete second half. So as you would expect Brighton went hammer and nails against us and soon after they got one back to make it 2-1 and then by a stroke of luck we were awarded a penalty and somehow we survived. The guys need more discipline on the field as we have had the most of amount of players this season being suspended in the Premier League, its not good enough.

We had a late lunch by the pool and during this time Noel got a message that the Call Genie that was set up to communicate with my sister in Dartmouth Care home had somehow stopped working which is pain. Speaking to the supplier, yest on a Sunday, apparently the system had lost the Wifi signal and we think we know why and tomorrow we can find out.

Noels nether regions are still not back to normal but as we did not want a three course dinner we would go to the Pizza restaurant on the top deck but the size of the Pizzas were huge and one would have served us both and so we both left about half, but they were good. We returned the site and decided to watch a film and ended up watching ARGO and excellent film, we have actually seen it a couple of times but it’s still worth watching.

And so to bed with Noel suffering a little bit with the Pizza, perhaps a light fish would have been better!
