What food would you say is your specialty? I have very little interest in food. I can easily forget to eat, and like my mother, I could live on toast. Except that I’m gluten free and the bread is mainly uninspiring. So I don’t live on toast. It’s hard when your staple diet is wipedContinueContinue reading “Does this involve cooking?”

What major historical events do you remember? Last time I mentioned the assassination of JFK. I’ve also talked about watching the Apollo Spacecraft appearing around the moon in 1969, alongside my Nan, who commented that the Wright Brothers had only taken the first flight in their aeroplane three years before she was born, and nowContinueContinue reading “Repeat Question”

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? We would like my husband to be able to retire, but for a number of reasons, one of them vital, it would be a ridiculous decision.

When the term WYSIWYG (wizzywig) first appeared in computing I realised it applied equally to me. For those who don’t remember the switch, it meant that youContinueContinue reading “I’d Like to be That Interesting”

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? This is a good question. If I feel great then a lazy day makes me feel rested unless I suddenly get bored which makes me feel edgy. Cats also need a lot of attention, loved cats are never independent, they have routines, expectations, habits, specific mealContinueContinue reading “Lazy Crazy”

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? I’ve gone way back for this image of a young Prince Charles, because this is when the man I admire for his successes launched who he was going to be. Instead of drinking and complaining his way throughContinueContinue reading “The King”
