Number 5 still has me covered in goose bumps (for the cold and the fear not the romance element!) but then I'm scared to go out of my depth in the pool so it would have been a totally wasted gesture on me.

2011-09-21T23:05:02.391+01:00

He threw it in the pool? I hope it was a big ring. I'd be terrified it would get lost or fall into the drain. Yup, I would have dived in too. ; )

I would so rather be cold than hot. With hot, there is not much you can do to cool down and I love cuddling in a blanket before a roaring fire or with my hubby.

I agree, what a fun proposal (minus the water--because I'm totally with ya on #4).

Ok, that may be the funniest and most original proposal I've ever heard. I wonder if he'd do it over the same way? Thanks for the award. I forgot to do it on my blog this morning, but I'll catch up!

Thank you for the award! Your proposal sure beats mine (a note under the door from a rather nervous college boy and his friend, lol!).

Thanks so much for the blog award, that is lovely of you. I love the way your husband proposed. Shame it wasn't on a hot day though!

JoAnna, I can't imagine anything more romantic than being proposed to in Scotland, my alltime fav place :)

Shirley, never too soon or any reason too small to stock up on choccies

Hi Claire - Love your 7 facts. An outside pool, eh? I would have to think very seriously about that one. :)

I'm stocking up on chocolate just in case...

Hi Claire,
I like your 7 facts - especially the story of how your husband proposed to you. My husband proposed to me at the Butt of Lewis (far NW of the Western Isles of Scotland).

Some crazy points here. Good on you for winning the award and I will be coming back here too. Some very good references to hunt down and lots of good energy. Best of luck with all, catherine

2011-09-18T06:39:50.037+01:00

Haha! Claire, you and my Mom and spiders! When we still lived in Zim, my Mom spent the ENTIRE night on the kitchen table (with my sister and I in her arms) because my Dad was on night shift and a giant rain spider amiably wandered into the kitchen. She let the cake in the oven burn as well, rather than risk putting a foot on the floor! :)

Thanks so much for the award - much appreciated. Here are my 7 things.

1.I've wanted to be a writer from about age 12, but never had the confidence, so I only started writing in my 40's!

2. I'm always on diet but never seem to lose weight (maybe all those chocolates have something to do with it?)

3. I prefer a mild temperature - one of the reasons my parents left Zimbabwe was because I was always getting sick from the heat in the hot months.

4. No matter how many extra language lessons I take, I can still only speak English. In a country where there are 11 official languages, and most people speak three or four of those official languages, I feel embarrassed at my complete inability to learn another language.

5. I'm a terrible procrastinator. I put things off as much as I can, especially starting new things (like a new novel or a new diet)

6.I'm cat mad (maybe this should be number 1?) I was 6 months old when I got my first cat and have had cats ever since. Husband had to choose between a dog or me and my cats! He said it was a hard decision, but luckily me & my cats pipped the canines at the post!

7. I'm addicted to blogging and social media. It's very sad really, but what can I do?

Thanks again for the award! :)

Hi Claire so glad you came by my blog and shared some thoughts today. I am now stalking your blog 4ever! I just received this award also and love your 7 things very funny. I especially love 4-5. I am also going to stalk your friends being awarded;)

Thank you, Claire. Pass it to me and I'll keep the spirit alive. Not sure I'm worthy, though.
