My Cat
If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why? Particularly this one. He’s loving, he’s kind, he raised our most recent kittens, they still adore him. He’s so chilled we don’t really need a fridge. When he visits the vets he explores everything then flops out on…
Anything is Possible
What’s a piece of technology you’re convinced will exist in 20 years? It could be you! You might have been technologically modified to perform all kinds of tasks! A chip in the brain connected to your oven so that you can switch it on at work, your robot can then be programmed to fetch and…
Seeking New Pastures
Which book have you read more than any other? I have read Pride and Prejudice more than once, apart from that I can’t think of anything. But then I am 69 and I’ve been hiding in my bedroom reading since I was a young child. The more things changed the more they stayed the same.…
Always
Are you a lifelong learner? Learning prevents older people from thinking their own, often rather limited life, means they know everything. It also helps the brain and mind because you’re using both. Too many, but not all older people, end their lives in the same armchair they’ve been sitting in for a decade. Wondering where…
Too Random for Habits
What’s one habit that has improved your life the most? I often find I do nothing because I can’t choose between all the things I could do. My only real habit was worrying and anxiety, not surprising with my background, and that one had to be kicked into touch. I’m not saying I don’t have…
My Life
What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it? Sorry to be so dramatic but it’s true. I’ve talked about it before so I’m not going to go into detail. Suffice it to say that it started the day I was born, and I was still…
Keep Moving Forward
What’s a book you think deserves a sequel? There are many series’ of books that I’ve read and enjoyed. But very few that have left me wondering what comes next. Often I prefer to visualise that for myself. The Bridget Jones Series was clever the way Helen Fielding brought Darcy into the present. I enjoyed…
No Idea
What villain actually had a good point? It’s too hot in the UK to have an idea, let alone think. I can barely come up with the name of a film. I guess it also depends on the point. Moriarty, nemesis of Sherlock homes, was there to challenge the great detective and thus prove his…
Italy
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I love Italy. I went there at one of the most stressful times in my life and was relaxed, happy, and content. I tend to be a city girl: London; Paris; Rome. I also loved Sedona in Arizona. That area of America will…
Certainly is for the England Football Team!
Is a little chaos actually good for us? I chose them because they’re a great example of overcoming obstacles. Chaos is rarely good to my mind. Many married couples will tell you that their big day was hell on earth in the lead up, all the worry – will the cake collapse? That sort of…
