Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I guess the closest I could come would be a beach in Bude in Cornwall, with a huge soft ice cream, that was filled right down to the bottom of the cone, and had cream on top. Food is about more than eating, it’sContinueContinue reading “Nothing”

Who is your favorite historical figure? But in honesty I don’t tend to look back in that way. As an historian by degree I do love history, but only in as much as it’s relevant to the present. What has history taught us? How do we use that knowledge now? In the case of warContinueContinue reading “Marcus Aurelius”

Write about your first crush. My first crush was actually a man who worked for my uncle when I was a little girl. Knowing this, when they looked after me the day of my grandad’s funeral they let me ‘help’ him that day. My aunt and uncle were very kind people. Some of the bestContinueContinue reading “Live Long and Prosper”

What countries do you want to visit? I’m a bit of a home body nowadays, not something I thought I’d ever be, but I’ve learned that there is a lot of contentment in the simple things. So part of me wants to go everywhere, although China (as per the sign above) wouldn’t be on myContinueContinue reading “None/All/Some”

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I know I’m very kind I’m not bigging myself up. With very few exceptions the people in my life haven’t been a positive force and I’ve asked myself to put up with far too much. It’s not that people are bad, but at least 6 really were. Not abuse,ContinueContinue reading “Swings and Roundabouts”

How do you want to retire? Lovely but I actually stopped work 14 years ago, my career had never taken off, I’d just walked out of the most awful job with the most awful people I’d ever met. The most appalling boss I’d ever encountered. I’d had enough. I was working with someone I thoughtContinueContinue reading “I Am”

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Although dominan own me? The oldest thing we use, when Hito is in the mood, for our original cats’ comb. Purchased in Harrods in 1984 as their first Christmas present, along with a Harrods beer mat for their food bowls, the comb is stillContinueContinue reading “Me 🤣”

Describe one of your favorite moments. It’s pretty much always cat related. Except for meeting hubby. He’s from New Zealand, as far from the UK as it’s possible to get without meeting yourself coming back. I lived in Bromley in Kent, which at the time had everything you could possibly want or need, including aContinueContinue reading “Cat related”

What notable things happened today? As this was posted just after midnight UK time 🤣 the answer at 00:01 was ‘nothing much so far’. Looking back on yesterday normal things happened I spent time with one of my favourite groups of people. I had my hearing aids checked and was told that the hearing aidContinueContinue reading “An Interesting Morning Question”

What are you passionate about? This is one world. There is one race – the human race. We are one rainbow nation. We do not know how other people around the world think. That is a construction of governments and some religions. It is no better to be gay, heterosexual, LGTBQI, pansexual, cisgender, male ofContinueContinue reading “Inclusion”
