OMW it's getting close!
The excitement and dread is beginning to build around the team but everything is still moving along pretty well. Have pretty musch finished all the paperwork I'm supposed to have done already so real free time is looming!
Have finally added the expantion pack (Open for business) for Sims2 that Laura baought me having finished Andy's Website (check it out here) and have spnt many happy hours on it over the last few days.
Should be going to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx in Egypt - am so excited!!1 Have wanted ot see them ever since studying Egypt in school when I was about 10 :) Have watched "The Mummy" in honuor of the impending trip!
Really looking forward to being home and seeing everybody. This contract has shot by, the Fjords seem like an age ago but can't wait to get back have a break and then go visiting - who knows I might actually have a proper holiday for the first time in 5 years - wonders will never cease ;)

OK...who pulled the plug out?
Well now, that was an interesting evening!
We lost power on the WHOLE SHIP. Engines, Air Con EVERYTHING!!! Right in the middle of the biggest Dance number in the Gala Evening show everything (except of course for the emergency lighting! and the , thankfully, full moon outside) went black.
Tony's (SM) been working in ships for 8 years and that's the first time he's known it happen. It was pretty cool really it took about an hour for them to get the generator's working again meantime the ship took on a whole new feel! The PAX were cool and just stayed where they were mostly. The corridors were lit by the occasional overhead light and the emergency strip lighting (like green fairy lights!) on the floor, the outside by the moon and for once in the entire season the ship was quiet.
One of the things that is most difficult to adapt to when going home is the lack of background noise - the engines humming, things banging about ,the stabilizers going in and out, the anchor going up and down RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY WALL - OK the last one is a joy to get away from! So having the ship that quiet was very bizarre.
Anyhoo it finally came back up and we did the second show and most of us had forgotten about our little foray into a horror film by the next afternoon!
Only 4 1/2 weeks of the season left....Everyone's starting to feel a bit odd, it's that weird mixture of wanting to go home, needing a rest and yet loving the job and not wanting to leave the people here!
Oh, and I've designed a website for a company run by he ACD on here - it should be fully operational in a couple of days check it out here
