Questions, more questions, yet more questions and even more questions

To tide you over until home-time, here's my questions from my post at that's my answer. So go over there and answer them :o)

Photos
There’s a photo of my graduation on the windowsill in front of me. They were taken when I graduated from the University of Wales in 1997. I’m with two of my best friends Kevan and Estelle. I look happy (and relieved) and oh so very young.
Can you see photos anywhere near you? Where were they taken? Who is in them? And what memories to they bring back?

Snip, snip
How often do you have your hair cut? Every six weeks as “they” suggest? Or do you wait longer to be coiffed?

Slurping up the soup
Ok a cooking question … well more of a little selection of cooking questions - a bit like the questions about manners but soupier!
1. Do you make homemade soup?
2. What is your favourite kind to make?
3. Is there a secret ingredient? Or is it a “chuck everything in the pot cover it with water and let it get on” kind of soup?*
4. Do you ever eat “soup out of a can?”
5. What’s your favourite flavour/make?
6. What do you serve with soup?
7. Do you eat soup all yr long or only in the winter?
8. And finally … Is it ever ok to slurp?

* p.s. If you're willing to share the recipe all donations gratefully received.

Yet more, yes even more questions

I know it's NaBloPoMo and I know I can post more than once a day, but just in case today is crappity-crap and I think bugger it when I get home ... here are the questions I am posting over at that's my answer. Go on answer one/all of them ;o)

Therapy? Or your friends?
Who do you go to if you need/want to “offload”?

Sleepy
What’s “bedtime” for you? Do you stay up late? Or does the sand-man come early?

Carbonara
What’s your favourite pasta sauce?

Questions, more, yet more and even more questions

I know it's NaBloPoMO but I can't post more than once a day, so here are the questions I am posting over at that's my answer. Go on answer one/all of them ;o)

Lost!
So, tell us, do you use a map or are you dependant on a sat-nav these days?

Tahitian vanilla
What does your shower gel smell of?

What's the time Mr Wolf?

Well used lilac one, with torn paper
In the crayon box that is life, which crayon would you be?

Day 3

God it's always this hard at the beginning, getting back into the swing of blogging on a daily basis. What have I got going on that's interesting enough to bother writing down? If I spend time blogging will that intrude on my daily SCD/ITT addiction? What can I eat - could bleugh weather making me constantly starving - whilst blogging that won't get crumbs in the keyboard? What hand should I type with ... so I can stir my tea with the other? What is this drivle that I am currently typing? And where is Si with the mug of tea? I should go and eat something and then maybe my head will work properly - I'll come back if it does honest! Here have some of the magic of Austin until then!

Austin and Erin for the title too after Cherie's bleugh frock!

Autumn days ~ Autumn has really hit hard this week.. Yes we’ve had gold/russet leaves for weeks now but yesterday morning we had cars covered in frost and a friend 100 miles up the road had the first flakes of snow yesterday evening. I love to look at the leaves, hear them crunch under my feet and then retreat inside to the warmth of the fire-side. So, tell us, what do you like about autumn?

Hit snooze and rolled over ~ When was the last time you overslept? Were you late for anything important?

Raindrops on roses ~ Whiskers on kittens. Not for me thanks, I prefer, hibiscus blooms and the first star in the sky. So, tell us, a la Julie Andrews, what are your favourite things?

Spuds! ~ How do you cook your potatoes? Roast? Boiled? Baked? What’s your favourite way?

Thursday already?

Where has the week gone? It's Thursday already and I've got nothing for you - nada, rien because all I've done is work. Parent's evening, governing body meetings, meetings with the Education Welfare Officer and stroppy Slovakian parents who are about to be taken to court over their children's non attendance. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend (but I'm going out for dinner with 2 gay men, an occupational therapist and her Coldstream Guards bandsman* husband for dinner on Saturday) and a week at home next week - hurrah for half term. I'd like to be going to France but my inconsiderate parents have buggered off to Spain for a holiday - how dare they eh?!? Only joking mother ;o)

Questions, more and more questions

There's questions to answer over at That's my answer! Here's a taster of my questions today ~ go on over there and answer them why don't you ;o)

Shop ’til you drop ~ Are you go shopping today? What are you going to get? Are you doing the eco-thing … i.e. will you take your own carrier bags?

Everything but the kitchen sink ~ In my handbag (purse) I always have my digital camera, the front of the car stereo, my purse (wallet) and cheque-book, paracetemol or aspirin, keys to the school and my car keys, lipstick, body spray, mobile phone, spare contact lenses & a hairbrush. So, tell us, what’s in your handbag? Is yours minimalist or is there everything BUT the kitchen sink?

Hands that do dishes ~ mine have been doing dishes and are feeling a little dry this morning. I’ve slapped on some hand-cream - hope that sorts them out! So, what do you do for chapped hands? Got any advice for me on getting them smooth and gorgeous soon … other than “don’t wash anymore dishes”?

Word association ~ Someone says miserable and I think … sad, cold, hungry. So, tell us, what 3 words do you think of when I say miserable?

I have questions - many questions

As you know I'm interested in life* and my questions are posted for the day - go on, go over and answer a couple. Let me know what you had for breakfast, what you're reading or simply fill me in.
