What was the best compliment you’ve received? My dad was everything to my mum. She absolutely adored him. So when she told me that I was everything my father was, that was a stratospheric level of compliment. Until she said: “And it’s done you as much good as it did him hasn’t it?” Courage andContinueContinue reading “You Have to Smile”

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? In the UK a cross-country trip won’t take that long. Frankly I’d rather do Europe or Continental America, both would lead to more fascinating trips. In Europe you can just keep going and see all kinds of different scenery, cities, meet a wideContinueContinue reading “Car”

Who is the most confident person you know? I looked for an image implying confidence and apparently it mainly means underwear shots! Not my thing. However, my husband decided to wash my washing up gloves today and did this with them. I’ve had some hilarious captions on social media! When it comes to confidence IContinueContinue reading “Me”

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? We all have negative feelings, and the first thing I ask people is always: What caused it?

What activities do you lose yourself in? Except I wouldn’t do it outside and I haven’t sat cross legged since Methuselah was a baby. Not that I actually know who Methuselah was.

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? If there had been more of that in my family I would have spent more time with my brother Well not to the best of my recollection, however, in 68 years anything is possible. But then TV is not life and watching itContinueContinue reading “None”

Are you superstitious? No, but I do have a black cat. Got to hedge your bets as we say. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. 13 is a lucky number for me. I think I was a tax collector in a previous life. In the UK Friday 13th was considered unlucky in MedievalContinueContinue reading “Temptress?”

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? A Cow Because I think about things, ruminate a lot, and quite often find it takes time to digest life. A Meerkat Because I have the reputation that I will be moseying along, then suddenly something captures my attention. My head snaps up, I lean myContinueContinue reading “Several”

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. There is a lot of truth in here What on earth were you thinking? Why did you accept so much unhappiness? Why didn’t you follow every dream, chase it down, tame it, and make the very best of it? I know, ‘the past’, what two words are moreContinueContinue reading “Dear Me!”

Where would you go on a shopping spree? New York – No No I’ve always wanted to go to New York on a shopping spree, but not now. I can’t support the actions of their President. It is the right of every country to live as they wish, and the duty of the people toContinueContinue reading “Rethink”
