My Little Life: Five Question Friday! 3/15/12.

1. What is one thing you wish you did not have to teach your children?

That there are some people that they need to be wary of, that not everyone is what they seem and really wants to be their friend…I miss the good old days when children could walk to and from school without fear of impropriety…it’d also be nice to see an end to the herds of unruly SUVs that congregate around schools twice a day…

2. What are you going to use since Google Reader is going away?

Don’t care…don’t use it…never could get RSS to work properly for me without feeling that I was spamming myself…

3. British comedy; Hilarious or strange?

Classic…even the stuff that I don’t like…subtle and not a smack in the face with a baseball bat like most US comedy…when the US can get Basil Fawlty, it will have arrived in the realm of true comedy as opposed to slapstick…

4. Do you prefer card games or board games?

I only really play with the girls so whatever they want but probably my preference is for board games as their hands aren’t big enough yet to hold cards properly, certainly without giving the game away to those sitting around them…personally, on the half day a year when I have time, I prefer board games…still waiting to try out the special rules in the Star Wars Monopoly I got for Christmas ’11…

So much cooler than boring Monopoly…

5. Will winter ever end?

Asking the same question here about summer – some rain would be really nice after almost six weeks without…so very happy we put that second water tank in last year…but last year, winter never did end and just rained through summer and back into winter again…didn’t think that was much fun but it was probably preferable to this year’s drought…

On the left, the North Island, nice and green albeit a little damp in March 2012; on the right, the krispy krittur, it is becoming this year…
