Blog Event

Oh dear! I have probably missed this event when I was so full of good intentions. I was out yesterday morning and when I sat down yesterday afternoon to write my post we had a power cut - this is not unusual here in Malta. The afternoon passed my by, I did manage to read by sitting close to the window. When the electricity came back on I had dinner to prepare and the the evening passed me by I woke up this morning and remembered I had forgot to post.
Anyway if anyone comes along to read my blog you will see I am not a great blogger but this was meant to kick start me into action.
I used to have a very busy life in the UK but now it is much quieter in Malta, because my husband is also retired we do lots of things together but I do find he stops me from becoming too involved in my hobbies.  Just as I am about to get out my sewing or knitting he always seems to say "Let's .......... and I miss out again.
Well if anyone reads this perhaps it will inspire me to do more.

  2. Hi Vivien, came over from the "Grow your blog challenge". Welcome to blogland. Never been to Malta, but I have heard good things about the country, so it would be interesting if you could post about the sights, the people, the cities, for us to learn. Thanks

  3. That's ok! If your husband loves spending time with you, consider yourself blessed and sew later. Family always takes priority...just sneak the sewing in when you can! Thanks for visiting me today.

  5. I'm here from Vicki's GYB event too. Don't worry if events have conspired against you - we'll still pop by to see how things are going. And as Jessica says - your husband should take priority: it's great he wants to spend time with you! That ciabatta bread looks gorgeous!

  13. Hello Vivien, and greetings from Canada. I am slowly making my way through Vicki's huge blog list, picking and choosing, as it were. You must be fairly well settled in your adopted country, but I would guess you still miss many of the habits of home. I am a newer blogger (late July 2012), also "crashing" the blog party, not an official participant, but I think the spirit of Vicki's plan is being respected.

    I blog primarily for myself, as a discipline; actually having followers and comments is a pleasant bonus. I have indeed met lots of interesting folks. I would encourage you to continue posting whenever the opportunity is presented. Do make time for your special hobbies and personal interests. I believe leaving room in our lives for our own pleasures improves our relationships with everyone we encounter!

    Take good care; all my best from snowy Eastern Canada... Monique
