On the good side of things:
- I got my 50000 words for NaNoWriMo
- In three weeks time I have two weeks off
- I've got a quiet weekend at home
- I'm getting through the ironing
- My leg is getting better thanks to Spencer, myotherapist extraordinaire and his dry needles
- I'm off to breakfast at the gym in a bit.
Quick Questions are good questions, so thanks to Bev at Sunday Stealing for these. The deal is iron something, do a question.
Classical: If you were an Olympian god, what would you be known for?
My amazing ability to bounce back. I'm like a rubber band at times.
Byzantine: Do you prefer gold or silver accessories?
Silver. I've always worn silver. Would love to wear its grown up cousin platinum one day.
Medieval: Are you religious?
No, I'm not religious at all - but I am very spiritual. I have an all rather than one mentality.
Gothic: What is your favourite historic building?
Well, in Australia, the oldest buildings are like two hundred and thirty years old. However, I am a great lover of Westminster Abbey in London. Fascinating place. Ely Cathedral is another favourite too. The light in the Lady Chapel is incredible.
Renaissance: Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt enlightened or changed?
I think I'm going through that at the moment. Catharsis requires a maelstrom to do it properly.
Baroque: Do you enjoy the finer things in life?
Absolutely. Probably to my detriment.
Rococo: Is your bedroom full or trinkets and pictures? If so, which pictures adorn your walls?
No. I've kept my bedroom pretty free from that sort of stuff. I have a toy panda which I bought in Bath 25 years ago, that is about this. I have two small pen and ink drawings on he walls. That's it/
Neoclassicism: If something came back into fashion, what do you hope it would be?
Capes. I would love a red cape. Pencil skirts are good too.
Romanticism: Do you often see things in a positive light?
I try to do this all the time. It is my modus operandi. Why would you do anything else?
Pre-Raphaelite: Which book would you like to see turned into a film?
Oh, there are a couple. One day they might do Donna Tartt's The Secret History and do it properly. I've been casting this for years.
A Little Life - now that is more a mini-series than a movie. Great book.
Oh, and one day they will do a proper movie of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Nicholas Cage - what the hell were they thinking?
I love casting movies in my head.
Impressionism: Do you look for details or take everything in at once?
A bit of both. I like to survey the scene first, then get on with the finer points.
Art Nouveau: When were you last at the theatre?
Friday Night. I subscribe to the Melbourne Theatre Company. The play, Astroman was very enjoyable.
Surrealism: Why does the porcupine think it's a duck?
Because it ate some funny mushrooms and that's what happens when you don't check your mushies property. Puked up quite soon after it had this thought.
Pop Art: Do you enjoy pop culture?
Strangely, yes. Even as I age, I like to know what is going on. Good to have your finger near the pulse of the zeitgeist.
Contemporary: What did you do today?
So far I've got up, done some ironing, had a cup of tea, made the bed and written this. I'm off to the gym now to meet Jay after a light upper body work out and breakfast. Going for a float later. Might go see Maow Maow after that.

Capes! I loved capes.
I had a friend that would always wear a cape she had made on Halloween and it was beautiful. She died back in the summer, so I missed seeing her this year.
Have a great day and enjoy your float! Oh how I love summer! I enjoyed your answers! Have a nice day!

Our Cracker Barrel restaurants seem to think capes are in style as they sell them every fall/winter. I love the look of them, but haven't convinced myself to buy one yet. Enjoy your relaxing weekend. I'm doing just that myself.
I like capes, too, but they make me look shorter than I already am (which is pretty short).
