I was tagged by the adorably fabulous @lostlastsforever756 to do this. Thank you!
1. What kind of tattoo would you get? (if you have one, what is it?) To be honest, I have never fancied having a tattoo ā expose my body to someone? No thank you ā or actually seen a design I wouldnāt mind. Until recently, when I saw something and thought it wasnāt too bad. Shame I canāt remember what it was for the life of me. Ho hum.
2. Favourite hair colour youāve ever had? A couple of years ago I had some ginger highlights put into my hair and I really loved the result which is ironic because I was fairly ginger as a child and absolutely hated the fact that I was.
3. What was your summer 2016 song? āYou Donāt Know Loveā by Ollie Murs.
4. Favourite artist today? Do you mean musical artist or painting type artist? If itās the former, then it is a toss-up between Adele and James Blunt. If it is the latter, then David Shepherd for a living artist, and William Turner for a dead one.
5. What book did you read half way and then goĀ āNope, Iām done with thisā? This has happened several times, Iām afraid. The first time was for The Red Badge Of Courage; a school set book. Boring! I tried to force myself to speed-read it and failed. Fortunately everybody else felt the same way so it was replaced with a book filled with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Bliss! More recently, I was sorely tempted to chuck the second book of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy (Fifty Shades Darker) clean across the room because I was so annoyed at the feeble āheroineā, Anastasia Rose Steel. There were times I wished she had read and remembered at least one other book than Tess of the DāUrbervilles during her English degree; but it was not to be as she whinged endlessly about spending tons of money he could easily afford or actually eating once in a while. When a possible assassin turned up I was willing them to succeed and put us out of our misery. Shame they didnāt. I had to remind myself that Iād been challenged to read the whole lot and that Iād already bought the third book, so I continued whilst griping to anyone that would listen. We did have fun playing āspot the Audiā though⦠And last week I abandoned a book when a romantic novel suddenly veered into public humiliation, bondage and orgy territory. Not my cup of tea. Nope nope nope.
6. Favourite pyjamas? I have two favourite pairs of pyjamas: the fuzzy M&S pyjamas my sister bought me with Tatty Teddy on them; and my Shaun the Sheep pyjamas that have a top with a hood.
7. Who is your most favourite woman EVER? (you know, cuz itās womenās history month, Iām curious) Ooooh, this is tricky, picking only one. Erm. I am going to choose Queen Boadicea (or Boudicca, depending on what spelling you prefer) of the Iceni, who duffed up the invading Romans here and had a whole section of the Colchester Castle Museum dedicated to her. On Ā a much more personal level, Catherine Tate has brought more joy into my life (both directly and indirectly) then she could ever be aware of. Through her, I have met and talked to some absolutely fabulous people.
8. What does your shampoo smell like? I have to use a specialist shampoo because I have to try and waylay the effects of psoriasis, so it smells like coal tar. Now I quite like the smell but other people donāt so I use a coconut scented conditioner at the same time.
9. Life goals? I have general life goals like facing each day as it comes and enjoying every second without future regrets that I could have done it or behaved better. Studying some more would be wonderful (I had planned to ultimately do a combined maths & computing degree, and do some follow up courses to my psychology degree in Autism), as would doing some artwork. You know, wield a paintbrush about again. And I have all my crafting gear to bring home and set up when I eventually get the chance. As for the biggest life goal I have ever had ā the desire to be a ānormalā size ā I think it is time to release that one into the wild; let it go and be free to stop pestering me. It just aināt going to happen. Fortunately Iām of an age now that it doesnāt matter. It isnāt expected of me to be stick thin but be instead a cuddly grandmother figure; something miles more easy to aspire to. Ā
10. Have you ever considered starting a YouTube channel? What would it be? No, I never have. I have no idea what I could vlog about.
11. What are you currently listening to right now? My biggest problem is that I thought my new car would have a CD player. It doesnāt. It wonāt even let me listen to music saved on an SD card; so Iām back to listening to whatever is on the radio rather than something I had personally chosen, when the car is my main place to listen to music. I mainly listen to either Radio X (Johnny Vaughan is my favourite DJ) or BBC Radio 2 (where Steve Wright is my favourite).
