Cold Canada!

The main reason for remembering yesterday was just how cold it was. We were woken up in the early morning by a show outside...a strong mans voice directed an acting out of the towns beginnings....as a piece of drama it was very effective. As any sort of welcome it failed...venturing out onto the balcony made me aware of extreme cold...I got back inside fast.
I have watched a lot of TV in the last weeks.
The days of trial like confrontations in the Kavanaugh affair made for riveting viewing....and still does.
What continues to amaze me though is the support Trump gets from the Americans on board.
Apart from one woman who apologised for him the rest are solidly behind him. Their faith in his ability to deliver is extraordinary. I have learned to just ask questions without comments...
Today being a day off I intend to book up an outing to get to the shops in New York, not just because I would enjoy it but it means I avoid another long queue in the huge hall in Brooklyn.
That wait over three hours coloured my ability to enjoy the rest of the cruise...I blame my newly minted grey hair on that experience...I was close to collapse...
I am fully recovered now...but I don’t want a repeat performance..
This has been a very different cruise for me...but also illuminating...
Friends made...memories stored, conversations enjoyed...it’s been very different but travelling alone is still good for me........though on this particular cruise I feel the ghost of David with me .
Soppy old woman!
