That's What Friends Are For

I discussed loo rolls falling off the holders today at breakfast. My friends agreed that it is a problem, and also thought mine was particularly bad due the downward angle. (Seems theirs were installed parallel to the floor.) At dinner, one of them surprised me with a present! She had MacGyvered up a little strap to go through the TP and keep it attached to the holder!

I can't wait to see what the cabin steward thinks when she sees it!

My other photos today is this. The floor. Specifically, this dark stripe in the pattern which I keep thinking is spilled coffee. I'm going to get myself so used to thinking, "it's not coffee, it's not coffee" that I'm going to walk right into it if someone actually spills coffee on the floor.

Not much else to report. I didn't get much sleep last night (still adjusting to the new sounds and the (literal) motion of the ocean. The exhaustion made me not as good as I should've been at our first day of multi-day trivia and our first Name That Tune competition. My friends had been talking me up as just being awesome at all of this, but my brain was very much not at its best. (We were still competitive in trivia and we won the Name That Tune anyway, but it was a squeaker. It was also TV Theme Song trivia and we may well have won because I was the only one in the room who watches "Doctor Who." We thank our Welsh Entertainment Director for throwing that one in there. I'm definitely going to aim for More Awake tomorrow.

(Also hoping to be less, er, green. I'm still "pinballing" down the corridors, but hopefully, without the nausea.)

(Honestly, that's all I've got for you today. I just didn't want to end on, you know, that word. Which I guess I'm still kind of ending on by calling attention to it. Flowers. Kitties. Crimson, Eleven, Delight, Petrichor.)
