Cruise Postcard #4




Smart-casual dinner.




Next black gingham/embroidered dress, casual metallic sandals.




I’ve picked up a few lovely summer dresses in the Next sale.   I’m abruptly moving from knee to midi length due to OAP leg issues - you might say it's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction (see what I did there?!).  Serendipitously, I’ve found a few #retirementdressing beauts in the sale.  This one is a light cotton, perfect for cruise temps.  It’s like wearing in-built air conditioning!
Food on-board - Breakfast this morning.










I'm mega impressed with the food on-board.  I imagined it would be cold rubbery buffet food.  WRONG.  The buffet breakfast food is freshly prepped and cooked (some to order) and nourishing.  The dining room food is out of this world and in just the right portion sizes to allow me to taste three courses yet still feel comfortable leaving the table.

We’re happily grazing on fresh fruit and vegetables.  And what's the best?
We're eating BETTER than we eat at home!!!I

Off for a swim now.  See ya!

A la perchoine,
Mary x.
P.s.  I suspect using data may result in me being whacked by my service provider on return so I may now resort to just posting on Instagram and then resume my daily diary back home.  So why don’t you follow me on @thepoutingpensioner?!!

    I still can't find you on Instagram. So strange. Will have to wait for your return to see the rest of your cruise news on the blog.

      I'm really surprised you can't find me, Jay, a search OF my name should find me. I've gone "private" but if you make a request to follow I'll say YES!
      Hugs, x.

    Hi Mary, bit late to read this post .....but have to say I have this dress from the Next sale ! I bought it for sitting out when it's warm .....gave up on the shorts a while ago ( much to the relief of the neighbours lol !) It's so cool and comfy, yet quite smart & I can wear a bra with it ��
