Big ship came to town

The largest, the tallest, the longest, the most expensive Oceanliner was in town yesterday. The Queen Mary 2. Apparently she is the length of 3 football pitches. That's long! We were actually just heading into town and had missed all the hype about her arrival so we weren't expecting this sight. I took this on my phone as we were driving past.

Been stitching up a storm recently and have 2 finishes but nothing i can share as its for people who read this blog.

Caleb turned 9 months on Sunday! This year has flown by, probably because i was in a sleep deprived haze those first few months LOL

*Warning, more boring blogging about chores*My chore rota is working a dream. Its making things more manageable. Like instead of "clean the bathroom" which is a big job, its all broken down. Yesterday i cleaned the toilet, today i cleaned the bath and shower, tomorrow the floor etc etc. I can do that! I skip quite a few things, especially if i have a busy day, but its been a good guide thats for sure.

Egh, I'm catching up with your blog, Cheryl, and was so sorry to read about poor Caleb's problems. What a constant worry that must beto you and your hubby. I'm glad everyone is feeling better now.
Yes, such a ship can be quite a sight. Last year, I spotted the... er, what was it called? The Euro-something (built in Rotterdam, that's why I'd heard of it). Very impressive. My, I sound like a shipspotter now, don't I?
Glad the rota is working for you!

She sure is a biggin'!! We get lots of cruise ships in Wellington in the summertime, and some of them are absolutely massive. Sure would be nice to go on one :-)

I was in Dunoon at the time and I watched the QM2 going back down the Clyde at night. It was like watching a massive lightshow sail past, what a sight!
