Sunday Stealing: The Last Time

 It seems something went wrong with the Sunday Stealing questions, so I'm doing this next set (rather than writing about the movie I saw today.)

The questions come from Bev at Sunday Stealing. 

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU ....

1 - Handwrote a letter to a friend?

Oh, that has to be about ten years ago. But, I did sent handwritten post cards from France last year. Does that count?

2 - Cried?

I shed a few tears at the funeral of a friend in the second week of August. I cry at films all the time, but my friend's passing hit me hard. 

3 - Fell over?

I trip over my feet all the time, but I haven't fallen over for years, thank goodness. 

4 - Bought a present for someone?

On the weekend. I got some presents for my cat sitters - if they do indeed give me back my cat at the end of this. I'm wondering about this - they seem to love the little critter. 

5 - Had a pajama day?

I had a couple of pyjama days two months ago when I had COVID. I don't have many pyjama days - too much to do and I need to get out of the house. 

6 - Watched a movie that you wouldn't have gone to the cinema to see?

Madame Web. I started watching it on a streaming service the other night - turned it off - it was awful. 

7 - Stayed up all night?

About a year ago. I was coming back from Darwin and my red-eye flight was delayed. My flight was supposed to go at 1.30 am - it finally left at five am. By the time the plane got back to Melbourne it was around 9 am. It wasn't a fun night. 

8 - Bought something on eBay?

That would be a couple of years ago - I buy a lot online, but I hardly ever use Ebay. 

9 - Colored in a coloring book?

It would be a few years ago now. I helped Blarney's twins with some colouring when they were about four. They're now fourteen-years-old. 

10 - Told someone you love them?

I told lots of my friends I loved them today (mainly for remembering my birthday). And I tell my cat I love him a couple of times a day. 

11 - Kissed someone?

You mean something more than a kiss on the cheek, or giving my cat a kiss on the head? That would be a couple of weeks ago. 

12 - Went to the doctors?

I had a telehealth appointment with my doctor a few weeks ago for a prescription matter. Thankfully, I'm healthy. 

13 - You traveled by train?

I was on a Melbourne suburban train at the end of last month when I went to a matinee show on a Sunday. I was on the Eurostar, travelling from London to Paris last October. I love European train travel. 

14 - Screamed because you were scared?

Saturday. I think I let out a few little screams when I was in the Darknight - Flight exhibit. It was very creepy. 

15 - Visited your hometown?

I visited my mum and step-dad over Christmas last year. 

16 - Went on vacation?

Last year in October - I was in England and France for two weeks. It was fantastic. The project also had three weeks down time over Christmas and New Year, which was a necessary evil.

17 - Finished reading a book?

Hopefully tonight. I have about 40 pages of Suzie Miller's Prima Facie to have read for book group tomorrow night. I finished Julian Amis' The Zone of Interest about a week ago. Chilling. 

18 - Went to a church service?

Ergh. I'm not a Christian and I'm not religious, but I went to a service that was being held at my cousin's Church in Sydney. It was a high Anglican church - lots of smells and bells and blokes in dresses. My cousin is married to the then head priest of the place. I was amazed the lovely old 19th century beauty didn't fall down around me. 

19 - Wore a hat?

I wore a baseball cap over the weekend here in Darwin to keep the sun off my face. I wore it to aqua aerobics. 

20 - Turned off your mobile phone? 

Tonight. During the screening of Being John Malkovich. I don't like being THAT person in the cinema - or in this case, outside resting on a deckchair.
