Did they say why?

Do you mean Empire of the Damned? It is a different series to Nevernight.

Yes a string quartet while we were eating. It was all very pleasant.

Yes he said another four weeks before publication. He must have given away at least 50 copies today and signed them if you wanted as well.

This is the entertainment area where they have functions on board and where we had our morning tea.

Shows how big she is if you know how large the Sydney ferries are!

Excellent. Such a big ship!!! I have done quite a few cruises but never on something so big. I would be nervous of catching Covid or something if I did an actual cruise.
Anyway the morning tea was obviously delicious, we had a talk by James Bradley and a free copy of his book Deep Water: The world in the ocean
Some nice freebies from Cunard too.
I will post a couple of pictures later.

Happy Birthday Lisa 🎈🎁🎂📚

I will try and remember photos. Not that I will be in my best frock and hat. Just normal clothes - the ship is in dock after all! We get a chance to have a tour as well which I am looking forward to. Let's see just how posh the staterooms are!

Happy Birthday Mark 🎈🎁🎂📚

Some remarkable totals there! Well done everyone!!!

Just returned from a Dymocks lunch where the guest speaker was Dervla McTiernan. She was interviewed by Dinuka McKenzie. It was very enjoyable. Dervla was so nice to listen to with her beautiful Irish accent and she had some fun stories to tell.
This may sound very indulgent but tomorrow I am going to morning tea on the Queen Elizabeth which is currently in Sydney Harbour. Also arranged by Dymocks.
