Do you make your kids finish all the food on their plates?

As a general rule, yes…but sometimes a battle is simply not worth it…equally generally, they are pretty good about hoovering up whatever is put in front of them…(talking grand-kids here so the rules might be a little different…)

Do you give an allowance?

Nope…they have both left home and are on their own, despite occasional hints … but we still feed them when they come round home though…

Do you actually park your car in the garage?

That’s the general idea and , yes, there is a car in there…with winter coming down here, we will probably have to get our act together so we can get the truck in there as well – had a couple of windfalls with ‘in-theme’ windows for the cottage/sleep-out and the big box things are displays cases from the Te Rapa Payless Plastics that Carmen scored from their closing down sale last weekend…both items need a temporary home til we get round to shifting them to either the storage garage (no, that’s not it in the picture; that IS the car garage!) or installing them…

What is one food you will NEVER cook?

Kina aka sea urchin…looks like snot and not interested in investigating further before the zombie apocalypse strikes…

I rest my case…

Do you have anything exciting planned for the summer?

Not really…just being able to bask in the sun and enjoy the great weather we never got this summer…first summer trip will probably be Brussels but it’ll be coming on to winter there so not sure if that will count? Hoping for an Aussie trip before Christmas though…
