1. Are you a napper?
Nope…not really…if I let myself nod off, then I will probably be out for hours and wake up at o-dark-30 all refreshed and energised which just perpetuates the problem. If possible, I prefer to push through to a normal(ish) bed time for a rest…of course it doesn’t always pan out according to plan…

2. What was your favorite subject in school? Most hated?
I liked English, reading and writing from the very start – had my first story published in the Sunday Times when I was seven and found this year that I still have the first exercise book in which I wrote stories…it’s all in pencil so I need to scan it soon before it all fades away…hated maths from Day 1…

3. Did you have the something old new borrowed and blue at your wedding? What were they?
Old was probably me, new would have been the wedding cake (rings and wedding dress we have bought a few years before), borrowed would be the two witnesses that we met at the hotel, and blue would be the lagoon behind the beach where we had the service…I’m travelling at the moment so don’t have access to any of the pictures so will update this is a couple of weeks…

4. What one thing are you determined to do this summer
Noting that we are the bottom of the planet, summer is a few months away..reroofing the house was the main objective for the ‘summer’ just gone and we got it done in the only four day break of decent weather all ‘summer’ – finished at 8-30PM on the Thursday night and it was bucketing down by midnight! This coming summer might be focussing on levelling out the lawn and pushing civilisation all the way to the fence around the house…

5. Ice cream or Popsicles?

Is that even a question? Ice cream -hands down!!!! And none of those dodgy marketing flavours…good old-fashioned vanilla or hokey-pokey will do nicely with fresh fruit in summer and melting over a hot butterscotch pudding in winter…

Cutting and running today as I still have to finish packing etc…
