A long rave

@Mazarita OMG! I haven't heard that Get Smart quip for ages lol how funny. Great show growingup :). I know what you mean about not being keen on the facilitator that makes it hard .... you could always just pop back into bed again :)xxxx that sounds good to me!

I have to get my daughter to vodaphone to fix up her phone  but before we dothat we will go for a coffee which will be nice (as it always is with my daughter). She is so easy to get along with. Most importanly however I must get myself a Crunchie bar I have been having cravings for one for weeks! 😛

[Mazarita]

Hilarious with the crunchie bar, @greenpea. I used to be totally addicted to chocolate and sweet things when I was young. Even when I went on a 800 calorie a day diet to lose weight, I had to factor in a crunchie bar every day! By the way, I lost about a couple of stone in weight, while still eating daily crunchies, lol. Was a very unhealthy diet I went on though and I was obsessed with food every second of the day. 

It's lovely that you have good times like that with your daughter.

@Mazarita o0o0o0o0o ..... we should call it Maz's 800 kalories a day Crunchie diet! I will remember that 😄 I remember reading about some models who were just eating carrots and their pupils and skin went orange.

Then there was the Israeli diet of green apples for so many days and something else for some other days .... all these fad diets. Your diet sounds the best so far though. Was it just Crunchie bars?

[Mazarita]

No, I had basic food for the rest of the diet, like one-egg omelettes, cereal with skim milk, and sugarless soft drinks (not healthy but, like the crunchies, had to have them for my sweet cravings). Somewhere along the line of my life, I have almost completely lost my taste for chocolate believe it or not. Almost never eat it now! @greenpea

@Mazarita well I wish I could .... is it still dark where you are?

[Mazarita]

Yes, still dark here on my side of the flat. Might go over and open the blinds on the other side, which is where the sun first appears. @greenpea We are very east on the continent so it usually appears here a bit earlier than in most other places.

[greenpea]

@Mazarita Facing east is lovely ... we face west not so good at any time of the year.  Oh btw I have decided with much reading courtesy of your efforts that I veer towards secular spirituality. Suits me best. Now I just have to find others with like minds to converse with ...

[Mazarita]

The block of flats we are in does face east but there are no windows on that side of our flat. We do however have two giant window-doors on either side of our apartment. Just went outside for a smoke and there is indeed a bit of light in the sky now. 

Cool that you have identified with secular spirituality. I kind of identify with that too, although I prefer not to give any of my spiritual inclinations a group name. I consider myself to have a 'personal spirituality'.

@Mazarita Geez Maz I am so goody two shoes these days no smoking, no drinking, no partying, I need that Crunchie bar to remind me that I am a bad girl at heart 🙂 We have a whirlly gig thing on our roof and when it works (which it is now) it sounds like a express trains coming through it is hilarious. Don't like to ask the owner for a new one and it really doesnt bother me too much but when people come through they immediately ask what is this thundering noise lol 😄

[Mazarita]

I wish I was a goody two shoes with the smoking, @greenpea. I used to be a goody two shoes when I was at school. Didn't actually take up smoking until I was in my mid-30s (after my divorce). Lol to the crunchie making you feel like a bad girl. 

That whirly gig thing sounds weird. Is it one of those air vent things for the toilet? I seem to remember seeing them somewhere before. Must be weird for you and your visitors!
