Ramblings...

When I look at other people's blogs I am always surprised by the different styles of posting. Some are very short and to the point, with maybe a photo and a few lines of writing.Others are much longer. One in particular is a very long blog, with no photographs and endless prose. usually i get fed up straining to read it and give up half way. Some write on a theme every so often, others write what comes into their heads. There are some wonderful craft ones, especially from the States where crafting is strong.
There is a facility at the top of the page to go to the next blog, and I use this quite often because it is random, and you get such an interesting mix of styles to look at.
We sat down after lunch to have a look at the papers and watch the recording of Mastermind which we taped yesterday. Very good contest with six very evenly matched contestants. the chap who won had been in it before in 2008 and came second and he was absolutely thrilled. His specialist subject was on the paintings of The National gallery, which is such a wide subject but he got a full score and went on to win with 37 points. VT and I sit and try the general knowledge at which he is much faster, but he tends to shout out an answer so I don't get a go. He is really good at general knowledge, considering he didn't pass the 11+ and didn't go to a posh university. I think it is the crosswords that we do, enlarges your knowledge quite a lot.
Tonight we are having:
Goujons
Stirfry vegetables,
Hoi sin and ginger sauce
1/2 a packet of rice.

I agree with you I, too, like to looking at other people's blogs to see how they lay it out etc etc. Some people use such long words, which I'm sure that they don't even understand - you wonder what it is they are trying to prove!! I used to join in posts like Blue Monday or Treasure Tuesday etc but found that people, on the whole, only responded to you by giviing a link to their page or website - so now I just write when inspired to do so. You are good though to write every day and enjoy reading your posts. I am away next week on holiday so Happy Easter to you. Judyx
