Passenger Talent Show

It was rough last night. Throughout the night doors banged and crashed, and stuff was strewn across the floor in the morning. The forecast is for the swell (about 6 metres) to continue, not getting any worse, and hopefully decreasing as the day goes on.

Today, in the classes, we revisited Perspective, and Contre Jour, with a rural Yorkshire Dales landscape featuring some farm buildings.

In the evening, we were treated to the Passenger Talent Show, which was a rich and diverse collection pf performances. We had a lady opera singer, who was rather brilliant (and she’s from my classes, so I was particularly happy to hear her sing), a pianist, a lady who did some Joyce Grenfell (George, don’t do that…), and an other lady who recited Albert and the lion. A couple playing guitar and clarinet gave us their rendition of Acker Bilk’s ‘Stranger on the Shore’, while another lady did a crazy, but very entertaining mime to the Court of King Caractacus… something or other… which got even crazier when she had everyone on the audience doing it as well… whacky, but funny. The finale came from the people who had been learning to play the Ukelele throughout the cruise. All very entertaining!
