Sorry for my absence, things have been a bit quiet on the blog recently but I've been feeling really rough having picked up an awful cold. It's July! Surely we shouldn't be getting colds now?
Anyway, last week I was tagged in this Meme by Kate at The Five Fs Blog so I thought I'd do this now to try and get my mojo back again.
It consists of ten questions - questions that actually need a good bit of thought.
Anyway, last week I was tagged in this Meme by Kate at The Five Fs Blog so I thought I'd do this now to try and get my mojo back again.
It consists of ten questions - questions that actually need a good bit of thought.
1. Which (in)famous person (alive or dead) would you like to take out to dinner, where would you go and what would you like to talk about?
This is a really really tough question that I just don't think I can answer right now so I am going to cheat and pass on that one. Oh, okay I'll have a little go. I'd very much like to meet Robert Winston. I think he's a very clever man who knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff! He has a way of engaging you and making you interested in what he has to say.
2. What is the best gift someone could give you (tangible please)?
This is going to be extremely shallow but I am going to say...an iPad. I know, I know but I am seriously hankering over one and just can't justify buying one right now. So if there is anyone feeling generous whilst reading this...
3. Where in the world would you most like to live?
This is a tough question as I love England but so as not to be boring I'm going to pick somewhere else in the world. My favourite place outside of the UK is Majorca. I will honestly never tire of visiting the island. I love the food, the people, the weather. The capital Palma is a wonderful bustling place and there are so many lovely villages and beaches to explore. Without a doubt, I'd live in Majorca.
4. What do you most enjoy cooking?
I enjoy most forms of cooking but I most enjoy cooking things like curries and casseroles - real one-pot dishes. I quite enjoy all the chopping, slicing, grinding etc that they involve and then being able to just bung them all in to the pot and letting it cook. I also get the most satisfaction from eating these too!
5. What is your favourite novel?
This is quite a tough question but I am going to settle with "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. It's so cruel and dark, yet at the same time very passionate and romantic.
6. You have your own personal Tardis, where do you go first?
Easy peasy. 16th century England. It's no secret I have a big fascination with King Henry VIII and the whole Tudor period so it would be amazing to be able to actually go and see what England was like back then and perhaps meet the big man himself. Especially knowing that I could hope in my Tardis and get the flock out of there before I lost my head!
7. How old is the inner you?
I think I am stuck at about 17, and what a great age that was. I sometimes feel that I will never look or sound grown up and that everyone looks at me like I am a child. I'm still waiting to feel like an adult.
8. Theatre or Cinema?
Oh theatre, I detest going to the cinema. Well, that's a small lie - I actually like the cinema I just don't enjoy other cinema-goers. People are so rude and I find myself getting irate that they are unable to shut their cake-holes for the duration of the film. I once went to see Mamma Mia when in Liverpool and I have never in my life been to such a noisy cinema. Also, I do love the theatre. You never quite know if things are going to go to plan.
9. Would you be famous, with all that means?
You know, yes, I think I would. I'd be quite happy to be famous and I'd certainly not grumble about the extra spondoolies it would bring me. I admit the constant barrage of the paps might get a bit annoying but I'm sure that you learn to deal with it. I'd quite enjoy getting fan mail, that would be fun.
10. You are able to learn anything at all, a skill, a language, whatever, what would it be and why?
I'd love to learn to play piano and be good at it. Unfortunately I was never given the opportunity as a child and at the age of 30, I feel to old to learn but I think people who can play piano well are amazing. I'm a big fan of classical music and there are certain pieces I hear that I would love to be able to play myself.
So there you have it, sorry if it's not very interesting. My head is a little bit like mush at the moment!
I'm going to tag the following people and hopefully when they are having a dull moment, they might join in!
