Sunday Stealing: Interview with Gale

 I'm getting the Sunday questions out of the way early as my breakfast settles and before I head down the gym. I have no idea who Gale is. 

Questions, as before, have been supplied by Sunday Stealing

1. What's the most daring thing you've ever done? Did it take physical or emotional courage?

Does living as an illegal immigrant in England for six years count something courageous? It was pretty daring. It was also probably in hindsight, pretty stupid. This took emotional courage. I was living where I wanted to live, living a life I wanted to live. If things were different, I think I would still be over in England.

2. Where did you meet the love of your life?

I’m not sure though I’ve ever had a love of my life. 

I’ve had some loves. One was my penpal. One I met at work. One I met through a friend. Another was love at first sight at work. 

But I’ve never had a real significant long-term other. This is okay.

3. What brand/flavor of coffee are you drinking these days?

My standard coffee order is an almond decaf latte. Normally a large one, or occasionally an iced one. As long as it’s not Starbucks, I don’t really care what coffee it is. Australia has some of the best coffee in the world.

4. What's the coolest place you've ever visited and how did you get there (car, plane, motorcycle, etc.)?

I’m very lucky, I have travelled the world.I’ve been to many amazing places. These include:

  • New York City and Boston
  • I’ve seen around the back of Westminster Abbey
  • The Scottish Highlands are miraculous
  • Mataranka and Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge in the Northern Territory of Australia are spectacular.
  • I’ve loved wandering around Hong Kong and Bangkok
  • Ubud In Bali is fantastic.
  • Paris is very cool, and I can’t wait to get back there again in September. 
  • Toledo in Spain is somewhere where I spiritually align.
  • The Great Ocean Road is magnificent.
  • And I’ve been around the Greek islands. They are wonderful.
I’m a very fortunate person. This list could go on forever.

5. What's the best concert you ever attended?

There are two concerts that come to mind. David Byrne at the Brixton Academy in 1993 and then again, David Byrne in his American Utopia tour in Melbourne in 2019.

Both of these were absolutely magnificent.

I’ve seen a number of The Pixies concerts which were fantastic too.

During COVID, I caught American Utopia on Broadway, on TV, which as extraordinary. In fact, I played the CD yesterday.

I'm sorry. I write the questions and at the beginning of the post, included a link to Gale's blog. I thought that would give you all the information you needed to know about her. I've never met her. I just try to find interesting questions and share them out each week.

I couldn't pick a coolest place so I went with my first trip abroad.
