Oh well done, G-CPTN. Sorry to hear the skipper's not quite feeling up to scratch yet but we can get this new ship ready to go as soon as he's properly on deck.
Okay, well I've found my cabin ... right next door to the pool. Good-oh.
Now, are Fluffy, Spot and Sooty safely on board?

Igor the doorman is here.

I'll find the bargirls later. Maybe we need some new ones. Variety is the spice of life.
Oh here they are fresh from Bavaria. Bar steward as well.

That lock scene is reminiscent of the locks of the bit of the Rochdale Canal
that goes through Manchester City centre when I went through 35 years ago.
In fact it looks in better nick.
And it has the advantage of not being lined by druggies shooting up.

Before I fell asleep last night (actually, after 02:30 this morning), I remembered something that I had to do today, however, when I became conscious today (11:30) I couldn't recall WTF it was that I had to remember.
I should have made a note on the desktop . . .
By mid afternoon I realised that I should be sending a birthday card to my youngest grandson for this coming weekend - and decided that that had to be what it was that I should be remembering - at least nothing else has cropped up so far.
Card sent.
My amnesia is extremely short term amnesia.
I think about something to do and then immediately forget about it within a couple of minutes.
Actually, it is usually well within one minute!
