What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? This is one of the oddest things that ever happened to me. I’ll start by saying one thing, extraordinary as it sounds: This did happen I used to live in Glastonbury, one of the spiritual centres of the UK, and not home of the famous festival.ContinueContinue reading “An Angel Coin”

Getting up/Housework
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can? I’m a night owl, my natural body clock means I don’t go to sleep until after midnight as a rule, tend to wake about 8, but have always had to psych myself up to face the day. As soon as darknessContinueContinue reading “Getting up/Housework”
Anton du Beke
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? Image from bbc.co.uk I’ve been to see many famous people, but Anton is the only one I can say that I’ve met, and I met someone totally unexpected. He is nothing like the image he used to have on Strictly, more like theContinueContinue reading “Anton du Beke”
Everything
What is good about having a pet? As are all beloved pets 🐾 My cats have saved my sanity if not my life. It’s that simple. When I felt that I had nothing to live for, I had them. I took them in, I committed myself to them, and that commitment and the love IContinueContinue reading “Everything”
Nothing
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). We were sitting here wracking our brains as to what that might be and came up empty. As our brains are normally filled with all kinds of garbage that was a refreshing change. We often think about what we would doContinueContinue reading “Nothing”
I can’t get into them
What podcasts are you listening to? Everyone has their own way of learning and taking in information, and I do learn by listening, but the weird thing is I need a person in front of me to hold my attention. Not weird you’re thinking. It is because I take more in if I look awayContinueContinue reading “I can’t get into them”
History
What was your favorite subject in school? Trouble is it’s scaring me now. I took history to degree level, where I learned that it isn’t about the past, it’s about applying the lessons of the past to the present to understand what’s going on, and predict the future as accurately as possible. One professor toldContinueContinue reading “History”
Badly
How do you manage screen time for yourself? I may be a wrinkly but if it’s modern it fascinates me. As soon as mobile phones appeared my fingers started to itch. I needed to know what this was about. Plus I did live in the country having moved from London, where there was a telephoneContinueContinue reading “Badly”
Time flies
Do you need time? Speaking as a person who was 21 a few short years ago and is somehow mid 60s now, I would describe time as a tricky thing. They say time flies when you’re having fun, turns out it flies when you’re not either. Even though time slows when you’re bored, it’s onlyContinueContinue reading “Time flies”
No idea
Just live! What will your life be like in three years? I don’t have a clue? Isn’t that wonderful?! I find that if you try to think ahead you will always see more of what you have now. Whereas if you go with the flow and keep your eyes wide open, you never know whatContinueContinue reading “No idea”
