The Friday Five for 9 July 2021

1. What was your favourite past time in high school? i've never managed to work out what high school was - college? University?  No uni.  i used to swim quite a lot when i could when i was at school.  Not much choice available i'm afraid.

2. What is your all time favourite board game/card game?  Mah Jong

3. What is ( Read more... )

It's American Liberation day today, not that it means a hill of beans to me.  Greetings to my American friends though who celebrate it.

i'll do the Friday Five today as it is a much more general range of topics.

These questions were written by Anonymous.

1) What one event from your lifetime would you change if you could, and why? Good question! One ( Read more... )

I'm not sure why but i started thinking about my Mum when i came in from doing a bit of gardening this afternoon, with my friend & neighbour Helen.  i used to be the 2nd gardener for Mum, so not that big a stretch, i suppose.  i can't believe it'll be 23  years in November since Mum died.  In some ways it does feel like a hellova long time ago, but ( Read more... )

i really should do the June questions more regularly, i'm so SLACK!  That said here they are to-date; including tomorrow's.

1. Do you have a dry erase board?  No

2. What feature do you get complimented on most?  Eyes mostly and very occasionally my hair colour!  All natural, though oddly some think it's a rinse.

3. On average, how much money do you ( Read more... )

Goodness, it's been ages since i was here!  Mind you, i've ignored a lot of the Friday Fives as they have been so 'American' slanted if you know what i mean and/or they annoy me rather than amuse me.  I will do this weeks one though, as it's pretty non-gender or country.  I can say in my defence that i have been busy with the physical and medical ( Read more... )

I'll start with the 14th Friday Five. Not done a lot recently as it was either very American slanted or so not anything i'm interested in or have connection with.

1) Have you ever done something awful to your hair? What happened?  i once tried one of those home Ash Blonde shades - on my naturally sun-blonde hair - and it came out a odd shade of ( Read more... )

The Friday Five for 12 March 2021: Books

1) Have you read more books, or fewer books, this past year than usual?  About the same really.

2) What book are you reading now (or what book did you read most recently)?  i'm re-reading Sue Grafton's 'X' book of her Alphabet series, as my read-in-bed book, but dipping into Monty Don's latest [too heavy to ( Read more... )

Wow, i haven't been here in a while. two Friday 5's to do

The Friday Five for February 19, 2021

Manners - we all know what they are, we all know what they are for.  Hmm, not sure some people do

1. Do you think you are more or less courteous than your parents? Not sure. A little more maybe, if i hold my tongue when i'm irritated!

2. Has the pandemic ( Read more... )

Friday Five

1) How is your year going so far? Same old, same old except for question 2!

2) Have you gotten vaccinated yet? If not, when do you think it's likely to happen?  American grammar!  Yes, got my first jab last Wednesday and had some reaction to it the following morning, finding i was the 1-in-10 who had diarrhoea and nausea/vomiting!  Very ( Read more... )
