Anyone for a drink.....?

Well, with all the new deck space we will have on Arcadia's extended Lido Deck it's only right that we have a new bar to go with it. The Aquarius Bar is getting a face lift. Well, actually, it's been completely demolished and redesigned as the photos below will indicate!
Going......

Going.....

Gone! And a new rectangular shaped base is set out.

The new fridge units being installed.

Work on the aft end of Lido Deck is proceeding at a cracking pace. The elements have contrived to make this a more difficult task with snow and rain deciding that they are more important than the teak decking. However, huge canopies have been erected to keep them at bay and allow the wooden decking to be started. It will look very impressive when it has been completed.

Before venturing out into those same elements to go to the Christmas Market in Bremerhaven last night I took time out to look at http://www.bestblogsatsea.com/ and I was impressed by the range of 'bloggers' out there in the cruising community. I was trying to pitch where I should be in relation to others and found it easy to see why such a community grows. It's great for news! Check it out for yourself - it's well worth it.

I have succumbed. I made that trip to the supermarket today. Nope, no tortilla chips and salsa dips, chocolate bars and cheesy nibbly things for me.

OK I lied. Did you not know that 'comfort food' is fashionable again (was it ever out of fashion?) and there are absolutely no calories in refit?! I think I'll have to try on my 'blues' uniform this week so that when we change out of 'khakis' towards the end of refit I can be sure that everything will still fit - just in time for the Christmas cruise where, of course, I won't be over-indulging in anything that's not good for me. I think bacon has just flown over my head and I am as convincing as Mr Unconvincing on National Unconvincing Day...... Anyhow, as most of the work in refit is going to plan, I think I can treat myself to a quiet Saturday night in in front of the telly. And I won't be opening any chocolate or nibbly things. Honestly......
