Trying to get this out early as I have a lazy day in Sydney - this is something lazy to do.

Questions, as always, from Bev at Sunday Stealing.

1. If you could eliminate a single type of insect in the world, which would it be?

Huntsman spiders. No contest there.

2. If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?

I would have loved to see the completion of the Sydney Harbour Bridge when they closed the span. That would be pretty cool.

3. If you had to paint your entire home inside and out a single color other than white, what would you pick?

Petrol blue.


4. If you could decide what will be written on your gravestone, what would you have inscribed.

"The lunatic, the lover and the poet, are of imagination all compact." If not Shakespeare, then "Nevertheless, she persisted."  Will do. By the way, I want to be cremated.

5. If you could have a secret listening device in any one room in the world, what room would you put it in?

Sometimes I'd love to hear just what goes on in Trump's office....

Spanish. Love Spanish food.

9. If you had to have one piece of music softly playing in your mind for the rest of your life, what would you want it to be?

I am the ear worm queen, bit if I really had to have anything on in the background, a soft version of "My Funny Valentine" would be okay.

I don't have children, but if I did, I would want them to be kind.

Somewhere safe and interesting. How about Japan? (One of the next places on my list of places to go)

14. If you could have been on the Supreme court for any single case in its history, which would you select?
