What would you "like to know" about the next poster....

USA -- in about two weeks!

What kind of car are you hoping to buy?

Something small, economical, reliable, cute, runs on air alone, always has a parking spot open up when you need one, dispenses free cash as needed, does the laundry for you, performs pedicures as you drive, and cooks dinner on the way home.

Know anyone selling one? 



Have you ever been stranded?

Not off the top o'me head, but do NOT buy anything from a guy named Syed!  (or Paul Tulip)

Have you ever been stranded?

Yes.  On a very long, dirt road in the middle of the animal park in Uganda, surrounded by tall grass.
What a laugh we had.

Have you ever left anyone behind?  (Intentionally or not?) *Does not include moving away

Yes, not intentionally though. Everyone was apologetic to me when they returned from where ever they went.  I have to say it was the dumbest feeling in the world standing there thinking.....OK, well I feel stupid and hoping know one was watching me. 

Have you ever done anything that REALLY scared you? Maybe an adventure or just an accident that turned out to be fun?

i took a group of about 100 american high school kids to the cliffs of moher in the west of ireland. way more kids than chaperones. none of the little buggers obeyed our rules, and all of them climbed over the warning barriers and out onto the cliffs themselves--a good 700' drop straight down onto rocks and the roiling atlantic below. i was petrified, but i knew there was not a damn thing i could do to stop them, and i was literally sick with worry. i went into cafe in the visitors' centre to get a bottle of water, and found my boss calmly sitting there with a cuppa and the day's newspaper. sheesh. there's an adventure for you.

when you find money on the ground, do you immediately pocket it & hope no one saw you or do you seek out the rightful owner?

depends on where I found it, or if anyone was around!

Do you take your make up off at night?

Most nights but not always

What do you miss most about the last place you lived?

My friends and the heat


What's the highest place you have been (not counting airborne travel)

Pikes Peak

what is the silliest thing you have ever done as an adult?

get married.

Have you ever drunk oat milk?

no, is it good?

do you have black out blindes in your bedroom?

no, just normal vertical blinds... but they are blue, so are quite dark and good at keeping the light out.

(oat milk is good... i just soak porridge oats overnight in water, strain off the milky/oaty water and drink it!)


what flavour coffee are you drinking this morning?

  Well, I havent made it yet, but I just got some dark roast coffee beans from Fresh & Wild yesterday and I cant wait to grind them up!   

What are you doing this weekend?

not a lot.  i was thinking i might plant my herbs... coriander, rosemary & mint.   But this would require getting off the computer and going to the garden centre, so...  it remains to be seen!

Do you expect anyone to play an April Fool joke on you today?

Yeah, Richard made like he was actually going to get out of bed before me on a weekend. April Fools!

Along those lines: do you have any AF jokes you're playing on someone today?

(the papers had some funny ones this morning!)
