Immediate Danger

Stavanger was extremely wet - TSH and Diva both needed a change of clothes on return from their short walk. Rosendal looked very pretty from the ship, so TSH and Diva decided to stay on board, especially since it was a tender transfer.

TSH's hearing aid is bluetoothed to his phone and he is quite accustomed to the sound of notifications coming directly into his ear. But this morning the sound was different - longer, louder and almost painful. He looked at the phone and saw a message in (to him) incomprehensible Norwegian, headed 'Immediate Danger'. In red. Not a good moment. But Page 2 was in English and explained that it was a Norwegian authority test of their emergency alert system. Relief. 

Diva counted 14 surplus coat hangers and decided to move them to the shelf with the life jackets.

A waiter said that she would not like to live in a tiny Norwegian settlement because she needed 'more drama'. Diva assured her that it was possible to create your own drama.
