C is for....




...so many things, I couldn't pick just one so here's a few! Hasn't Thursday come around quickly!


Chocolate – mmm delicious, my one temptation. I just can't resist it. Milk. Plain. White. In a bar. In a box. I'm not fussy. Oh - except that I don't like gooey chocolate cakes and puddings.


Candles – lovely smelling scented candles. The only thing is that I don't find them particularly scented once I've lit them – is it me?


Cruising – newly discovered but an absolute passion now. The first one was only last February and I've had two more since then! Oh – and another one booked for six weeks time. If somebody had said to me two years ago that this would be my preferred holiday I would have said they were mad – especially as I'm frightened of water and can't swim! Watch this space (well not this one in particular but you know what I mean)for more details to come!


Crochet – as a child my aunt to taught me to crochet. Trouble was she crocheted as if she were knitting – you know – all with the right hand instead of holding the yarn in the left and hooking it through. I started again in the autumn having been inspired by some lovely crafty blogs that I'd happened upon. I thought I'd make a granny blanket and embarked on my mission here, I've probably completed enough squares now to make a small blanket. Just need to do the boring stuff now of sewing/stitching them all together – I'll let you know the outcome! Meanwhile, I just had to start the next project – going for waves this time oooh – back to cruising!


Thanks for taking the time to read – I do try to read all of the posts that are linked here, sorry if I don't get around to leaving a comment on them all!

  4. I love chocolate but I prefer milk but I'll eat other kinds if that's all there is. I just might not eat as fast LOL.

    I think some candles are better than others as far as keeping the scent when it's burning.

    I would probably never go on a cruise just because I don't swim and I do get seasick.

    Right now I do some knitting. I bought a DVD though to learn how to crochet but I never looked at it yet.

  5. Oh, you had me at chocolate! I prefer dark (it's good for you, right?) but I'll eat it just about anyway I can get it! Love scented candles, but I agree they seem to smell better before they're lit - go figure. I've never been on a cruise, mainly because my DH would probably freak out. He likes being next to the water, but not so good ON the water. And I just don't have the talent or patience for any kind of needlework, I'm a home ec drop out lol. Thanks for stopping by, aren't those kids great? Have a great day. Kathy

  10. I've been on one cruise and there was a hurricane. We spent the entire cruise sailing away from the hurricane. Instead of Mexico we ended up in New Orleans where 700+ passegers got off the ship when they found out Carnival would reimburse them and pay for their trip home if they were disatisfied and told them before the first port. We stayed on. We weren't having a bad time, but it just wasn't what we had expected. Going back to Galveston the crew outnumbered the passengers. We didn't get sea sick either, but many did...even crew members. I actually liked the rough seas, but we couldn't go out on the deck. We'll probaby go again someday just to see what a cruise is really supposed to be like.
