Valentine's day

Who better to spend valentine's dinner with than Ric and Ellie. They met on the ship, feel in love, and they're getting married in the ship in a few weeks! We've been diving together, shared many meals and are planning some future excursions together. If you want to be around happy people, you can't do any better than them! 
I only think of these things at the last minute. It was as we're starting to get ready for dinner that it occurred to me that it would be nice for valentine's to make dinner special by sharing it with another couple. I thought of Ric and Ellie and sent him a Whatsapp message less than an hour before dinner time. I wasn't sure he would even see the message in time, let alone be available and respond, but he did. 



They talked about how they were attracted to each other. It was inevitable, like 2 objects in space that are drawn together by a magnetic force, they just found themselves bumping in together. Ric says "Ellie was smart, beautiful inside and out, active, funny ... And tall!
We sat and talked for the full 2 hours of dinner time in the thistle dining room so we didn't have to get up to go to the buffet. It was a delight.
