Felt a little better.
Went to the coffee shop for breakfast, and to see the Terrys and Scilla off. Scilla has completed this year's optometric stint on St Helena, and will be back in January next year 
We have become good friends with Steve and Maureen, and will miss them. They are off to visit their children and grand children in the UK and plan to be back on 11 August. 
If you look closely, you will see the ladder from the platform next to the ferry with a passenger or 2 climbing up it onto the RMS.
When I came to St Helena, the doctor would not let me use the ladder. I had to sit in a box cum cage for the frail and decrepit, and the crane on the RMS (normally used for unloading cargo) lifted the box up over the side of the RMS and let us down into the ferry. On the other side, another crane lifted the box up with its precious cargo, and dropped us safely on St Helena soil. Most unexciting!
In the evening we went to St Paul’s cathedral for a “cultural evening” presenting musicians from South Africa. The first part of the evening was devoted to classical music. Nadine Roussopoulos played the violin, and was accompanied by Olga Rademan on the piano. The second half of the evening was taken by the 2 cabaret performers - Roland Perold and Shannyn Fourie. Truly gifted musicians.
