  • Compared to a cloud, how would you describe yourself:
    a) whispy in an almost clear sky
    b) white and fluffy
    c) dark and threatening
    d) thunderous and angry

If I was a cloud I’d be the white and fluffy one – I’m large, white, and pretty much happy in a blue sky, and can take on any kind of shapes you might see.

  • If you were a young animal, what best describes your personality:
    a) an inquisitive puppy
    b) a playful kitten
    c) a skittish rabbit
    d) an excitable pony

If I was a young animal I’d be the inquisitive puppy – I like to look things up, research topics, find out answers to things.

  •  If you were a flower, would you be
    a) something bright and showy
    b) something fragrant
    c) something small and discreet
    d) a weed

If I was a flower I’d probably be a weedy one – a pretty flower, but not contained in a strict flower bed, kind of messy, just wandering around wild doing my own thing wherever I am, in my own world or imagination.

  • If you believe in reincarnation, would you like to come back as
    a) a wild animal
    b) a bird
    c) an insect
    d) a sea creature.

On this one I don’t know, I want to say a tiger, since a tiger is my spirit animal. But also a bird would be nice, too. I like flying in an airplane, so actually flying would be fun.

1. I’ve been receiving notifications of Achievements and recently Classic Material which I neither want or signed up for.
Do you think such notifications are necessary or have you switched them off?

I did notice the awards and the old post deals, but just looked once at them. Not necessary at all, but fun if you want to do anything with them. I doubt I will though.

 

2. With the recent hot weather, it seems to bring out the worst in us drivers. Have you been a victim of road rage?

No, since I don’t drive any more, or go anywhere either, I haven’t noticed any road rage.

 

3. In hot weather, what would you prefer:
a paddle in the sea, dangling your feet in a pool, or staying as much as possible ion the shade?

It’s always hot here in the summer. We stay inside under the air conditioner, and if in a car an A/C is mandatory. We don’t have a sea, and we don’t go swimming, and we don’t sit out in the hot sun. We do have one big tree, but it’s still too hot out there.

 

4. On a hot day, what do you find most refreshing:
a hot drink (tea or coffee), an ice cold glass of lemonade, a cold beer, or ice cream.

I drink hot coffee no matter the weather. Then I drink iced tea all day. I don’t drink beer or eat ice cream, or cold coffee. Haven’t had lemonade in many years but I liked it when I did.

. If you were a background character in a movie, what would your job be?

I’d probably be a secretary/typist/receptionist in an office.

2. In a low‑stakes apocalypse, what completely useless skill suddenly makes you the leader?

I can remember lots of songs from different genres and years. Not always the name of it or the band/musician, but the subject and some lyrics, and can find one for any topic pretty fast. I don’t know how that would make me a leader of anything, but it’s pretty useless.

3. What oddly specific thing freaks you out for no logical reason?

I’ve mentioned this phobia many times … I freak out seeing fish – any kind. I try to avoid looking at any in aquariums, tv shows, books, magazines etc.

The questions:

  1. Write a post based on the word curve.
  2. Write a post in exactly 10 sentences.
  3. Tell us something you learned in May.
  4. List ten things worth saving, then choose one and write about it.
  5. What are you afraid of?
  6. What are your five favorite YouTube channels right now? What makes them favorites?

***

My answers:

I’ll go with # 4 – maybe I can think of 10 things. This questions asks for ‘things’ not people or animals or beliefs, and other items of that sort. I’m thinking of things we already have in the house.

  1. photos and photo albums
  2. scrapbooks we’ve put together
  3. books, especially our favorites
  4.  jewelry, any kind
  5. heirlooms passed down from family
  6. diaries, journals, and notebooks we’ve written in
  7. blog posts maybe

Can’t think of any more right now. Of these I’d most likely want to save photos, all my writing, and then ???

I have lots of actual photographs, some put in albums, and some just loose that really should be put in albums. I also have lots of photos on my phone that are still there I wouldn’t want to lose. Then there is my writing. It’s everywhere. It’s on my blog here, in notebooks, diaries, journals, some stacked up on shelves, some in filing cabinets, snippets and  poems here and everywhere. It would be hard to gather all of it up. But I’m pretty sure when I’m gone, it will all be trashed. No one in my family would want to even go through it all, so it all goes away. Sad but true. Oh well, I had fun writing it all, and won’t care at all later on I suppose. 🙂

1. It’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK, so a lot of us don’t have to go to work. Are you working today? … No, I haven’t worked in an outside job in many years.

2. What do you like to do on your days off (not holiday/vacation)   … Every day here is my day off, so I do what I want to do, like blog, read, puzzles, & coloring.

3. Have you booked a holiday/vacation this year? … No, we don’t go anywhere.

4. Have you ever had a Staycation (a holiday in your own country) … We stay at home all the time, so that is I suppose a stay cation? When I was a kid we only ever had an occasional vacation as my dad couldn’t take off work. I only remember 3 (Carlsbad Caverns  in New Mexico, Red River in New Mexico, and the Hemisfair in San Antonio)
