Sunday Stealing: Memememe Part 2

Today is my last day in Sommieres. I'm not loving this fact as I love it here. Having the world's comfiest bed is not helping matters either. 

I've only got another four days before I go home, and being honest, I wish I had another week here. unfortunately plans, cat sitters and funds make this impossible. 

Regardless, let's get on with the weekly questions, brought to us by Sunday Stealing


11. You can build a dream house anywhere in the world. Where would it be located?

Maybe not so much build, but if I could buy a place here in the South of France I would be very happy. I love it down here. 

12. Have you ever taken a photo in a photo booth?

Yes, many years ago, in London. You needed photos for all sorts of things back then. 

13. What's your favorite kind of mustard (dijon, spicy brown, bright yellow)?

I love mustard - but the ones we get in Australia are really different to other countries. 

I love Hot English Mustard - it has a big kick. Best, used sparingly, on ham sandwiches. 

I love Dijon mustard, which as I am in France at the moment, I have to say that. 

There is also seedy mustard, which we get at home, and I love it's tang. 

14. What did you do on New Year's Eve?

Nothing much. If there's a house party - small get together, I might go there. New Year's Eve is a bit of a non-entity for me. 

15. Did your parents ever share memories of their high school days?

Dad used to, but he died nearly 30 years ago. Mum, not so much. 

16. What's the most famous thing to happen in your home town?

Ah, Myponga, South Australia. It's known for a music festival that occurred in 1971. I was two at the time. Black Sabbath played (oh my god, I've been in the same paddock as Ozzy Osborne!) as well as a lot of well known Australian bands. I will not tell you what my cousin got up to there. I've been sworn to secrecy. My cousin is about 16 years older than me and was a nurse at the time. 

Myponga also used to make very good Edam cheese and there's a reservoir there. 

It's one of those blink and you miss it towns on the way to either Victor Harbor or the Kangaroo Island ferry. 

17. Did you ever have a MySpace page?

No. Miss out on that one, thankfully. They're the ones that come back and bite you on the arse. 

18. Will you eat a cookie today?

No, but I have had a lovely babka which I bought at the Sommieres market which was very nice. 

19. Who is the last person you spoke to – not texted with – on the phone?

I have no idea. I haven't used my phone in the last two and a half weeks. According to my phone log, the last person I talked with on the phone was my mother - and that was on the Wednesday before I went away. 

20. Do you play poker?

No. It's not something I ever got into.
