Sunday Stealing: 3x5

 Today was a big day. We had book group at Blarney's place, but I'm tired now and don't feel like writing - but it will be good to get the questions out of the day. Nice easy, short questions. 

Questions supplied by Sunday Stealing

 Three things I love (Remember, these are things, not people):

1. The smell of dog and cat paws in the morning. They smell like Doritos - it's a great, earthy smell. 

2. Soppy romantic comedies found on Netflix. 

3. David Byrne, who I'm seeing in concert on Thursday night and cannot wait for. 

Three things on my desk:

1. Too many pairs of glasses - sunglasses, computer glasses, normal distance ones. 

2. A small bottle of L'Occitane hand sanitiser, which I bought in Paris. It's lemon verbena scented and I love it. 

3. Notification from the electricity distributer that they're turning off the power from 7 a.m to 5 p.m tomorrow. I'm going to the gym then taking off to the library to write tomorrow. 

Three things I can't do:

1. Tolerate racists, sexists, Nazis, religious fanatics, people who are rude to waiting staff, people who walk too slowly in front of you and smelly people on the tram. I just remove myself from the vicinity, rather than make a scene. 

2. Tumble turns in a swimming pool. Love swimming laps, but I never learned to tumble turn. 

3. Keep a tidy house. I'll blame neurodiversity for this one :) Really, I'm just untidy. 

Three things I'm good at:

1. I'm great at being around animals - particularly dogs and cats, even better if they're puppies and kittens. 

2. I will drive pretty much anything - manual (stick), automatic, small, large, tractors... love to drive. (Just not motorbikes - never learned how)

3. I'm not bad at reading and writing. Spent this morning helping one of Blarney's twins do up his resume. That was fun. 

Three things I want to accomplish:

1. I want to get that bloody novel finished and published. 

2. I want to gently lose 20 kilograms. Slowly, slowly catchy the monkey. 

3. I want to find out what it's like to have a boyfriend. 

Okay, the Baileys is kicking in.

I've said too much.

Hi Pand,

I'm totally with you on the "racists, sexists, Nazis" etc. Such things infuriate me though I am trying to calm down in my old age so I try to take deep breaths and think about bunny rabbits hopping in a field of daisies.

I love dogs and cats - and dogs seem to love me for some reason. They often come up to me in the park causing their owners to apologise. They don't have to.

:o)

Cheers
