Sunday Stealing

 

The questions came late this weekend, and with the busy week I've had, I've now got next to no time to get these done. 

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Questions, as always, come from Bev at Sunday Stealing. 

    What was the last song you listened to?

This: (I saw them live on Thursday - still wonderful after all these years)

    What is your favorite thing about the place you live?

As in where I live? I live in a really funky suburb in inner Melbourne. It's great for public transport and cafes. Melbourne is a huge multicultural city, which I love too. 

    What is your earliest childhood memory?

Although I have indistinct memories of man landing on the moon - I was just under a year old and lying in a bassinette, I have a few memories of me being at kindergarten. The play equipment was excellent. 

     If you could be any animal, what would you be?

Either a well-loved housecat, or a sloth. I think sloths have it good. 

    Who do you trust the most in your life?

Me. I do trust my close friends, but I trust me more. It's an independence thing. 

    How many languages can you say "hello" in?

Let me see...French, Dutch, English, Italian, Spanish, German,  Greek, Japanese, Balinise, Thai, Mandarin, Hindi and Australian Bogan (G'day).

What can I say? Love love learning languages. 

    What is your favorite kind of weather?

Autumnal weather, cool and crisp and possibly overcast. A light breeze is always nice too. 

    How did you discover that Santa wasn't real and how old were you?

I found out about Santa not being real when I was five years old. The family across the road were Jehovah's Witnesses who have nothing to do with Santa. Karin Haawkes told me all about it. I asked my parents about this and they confirmed it, but I was not allowed to tell my sister. 

    What is the best feeling in the world?

Achieving something you've been struggling to do. 

    What is your favorite color?

Pillarbox Red or Cobalt Blue. One or the other - but there are many colours I adore. 

    Is there a language you would love to learn?

I wish my French was fluent. I speak more than passable French, but I wish it was better. I'd also love to learn Spanish. It makes travelling around South America and Spain really easy. 

    How do you feel about reality TV?

I watch some reality television, but avoid most of it like the plague. We have a renovating show, The Block, which I enjoy, as I love Married at First Sight and Masterchef - but that's it. The rest I tend to leave. The really trashy shows, like Love Island or The Batchelor - no thanks. 

So, I think the answer to this is watch sparingly. 

    Did you ever skip school when you were a kid?

No. I was a goody-two-shoes and as we lived a couple of kilometres out of the nearest town, it was all too hard to negotiate. 

    What is your least favorite food?

Bananas. Lasagne. 

    Do you have a good luck charm?

No, unless you count my stimming ribbon.
