Captain's Log - Day One
by la_spice @ 2008-07-21 - 08:29:22

Yes we finally made it! The Blogship Lollipop sailed out of Southampton Waters at first light.

We have a fine crowd on board so this promises to be a fantastic voyage.

Don't forget this is your blog and post whenever you want. Remember we are here for fun and laughter and friendship.

Our first port of call is Palma where we will meet up with CJ before heading off to who knows where.


So sit back relax and enjoy this taster of things to come.

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

(Christopher Cross Sailing lyrics)

Bon Voyage

*Pulls up another deck chair (steamer type obviously) and joins you!*

Cheers!

*finds a nice quiet spot, and lights a soothing ciggy, and with ciggy in one hand and cocktail in the other, sits and chills letting all of lifes stresses and strains just blow away and the delicate ocean breeze*

Mira merges from hre cabin. Stretches. Takes a deep breath of fresh sea air. Looks around , sees Spice , Decado and Jackf :wave: waves and thinks " I need some time to simply be and watch the waves ".

*sits down and stares out into the bluey grey waters of the ocean *

OMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

I can't stop playing the video - I've never heard this before but it seems the perfect way to start the day.

Oh, I remember it.
Round about the same era as the Rod Stewart song of same name, but much, much better :)

I wonder why I've never come across it before?

Never mind it suits the occasion and that's the main thing :yes:

reminds me of this:
http://melinda-in-surreality.blog.co.uk/2008/06/06/i-just-love-this-4282533
A bit weird, but I love it anyway. I could play it over.... and over.... and over.... and.... mmmm....
Though according to Facebook, I found out this morning that my ultimate love-making song is Unchained Melody... and now I've got THAT stuck in my head too.
Not a good idea :no:
Better think of something else :yes:

'Lonely rivers flow, to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me...'
:'(
At least my puss cats are glad to see me back :)

Especially when I've got a picture of a lovely French potter at his wheel.

Perhaps I should blog it with the u-tube snippet?

Better not - I've got ironing to do!!

I'd forgotten about that connection - I just like the song, but NOW you've got me thinking about Patrick Swayze!!
And I'm the one who gets accused of being a tease! :))
Get on with that ironing woman, for goodness sake!
