I like these questions. Quick and easy ones to answer, and since it's my birthday today, I can get this out the way without too much difficulty.
Questions, as always, come from Bev at Sunday Stealing.
Name Your Favorite…
Place: London. I miss it.
Color: Pillarbox Red.
Smell: Dogs paws, first thing in the morning.
Magazine: I'm not reading magazines much, but I do like The Monthly and The New Yorker.
Texture: Satin.
Thing to do when bored: Watch television or read or go for a walk.
Precious stone: Emeralds
Animal: My cat, Lucifer. He's wonderful.
Time in history: The Court of Henry VIII is fascinating, though I wouldn't want to live in it. World War II is another pet time I love to read about - again, wouldn't want to live it.
Font: Times New Roman all the way. I find it comforting.
Sound: Rain on a tin roof.
Fruit: Mangos and strawberries - and the flavour of yuzu, not that I have ever seen a yuzu in real life (Yuzu tastes like a mix of lemon and mandarin - love it. )
Vegetable: Potatoes - sweet potatoes or regular potatoes. Love them.
Store/shop: There's this Florentine paper shop down Degraves Street. I never buy anything in there, but I could spend hours looking at their stock. That and Mecca Cosmetica.
Quote: This:
Mind you, this comes a close second:.
Historical figure: Thomas a Beckett - it's a long story, but he is great.
Letter: What sort of letter? I love the Hebrew Aleph. It's elegant.
Memory: There are lots of them. Too many to choose from. Hanging out with the Stone of Scone in Westminster Abbey many years ago is one of them.
Dessert: Creme brulee. Love it. So satisfying.
Candy: Musk sticks and Pascals Fruit Bon Bons. They are Australian fare.
Restaurant: Cumulus Inc in Melbourne. The food is amazing.
Language: Well, English is my mother tongue, but I am loving re-learning French. Such a gorgeous language.
Thing to learn about: Anything historical. I love history.
Thing about yourself: I'm a kind person. I think this is a good.

I saw Talking Heads during the Stop Making Sense Tour, albeit in Saratoga Springs, NY. One of the backup singers is Lynn Mabry, who I've seen be a backup singer for Sheila E.
London is certainly one of my favorite places. And I have many good memories made in London.
Have a nice weekend!
Creme Brulee--I haven't had it in years but I always love it.
