Wednesday Hodgepodge
1. What are three words you would use to describe your 2011?
| caring, learning, growing.
2. Do you like shrimp? What's your favorite way to have it prepared? | Yes, I love shrimps served with brown bread and butter. If you mean prawns .... any way they come is alright by me!
3. Is your house de-Christmased? If so, when did you tackle that job? If not, when will the decorations come down? | Yes, Christmas is definitely finished and packed away in boxes ready for December. I took the trimmings down on January 2nd ... three days too early but we'd both had enough of them.
4. Do you like to watch scary movies? | I don't like horror films but I do like thrillers & 'who done its'. I'm a bit of a wuss though and resort to watching the scary bits from behind a cushion!
5. Ice skating~sledding~ skiing~snowboarding...of the four listed which wintertime activity do you most enjoy? | I've never tried snowboarding and have no intention of starting now. I went skiing and ice skating in my youth and they tie for first place although I wouldn't be prepared to risk injury by doing either of them now. The same goes for sledding ... a happy memory from childhood that will always remain a memory.
6. Did you have a childhood hideout? Describe it. | All the children in the road used to congregate in a neighbours shed (it was huge, made out of old window frames and filled the width of their garden) and I have fond memories of lots of time spent in there.
7. What's a place or space that motivates you? | I can't think of any place that 'motivates' me. I do a lot of thinking and 'sorting out' soaking in the bath.
8. Insert your own random thought here. |

ReplyDeleteHi! I am stopping by from Hodgepodge. I like your three words to describe your year. Soaking in the bathtub sounds like Heaven! I need to do that more often. =)
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen Thank you so much for leaving a comment and following my blog I'm in need of followers lol. I love your list of 52 things to do in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI moved to wincanton back in April and have promised to explore the area more with my camera this year. And I to would love to go to Bath and enjoy tea at the Pump room I also want to visit the Jane Austen museum. They also have a Jane Austen weekend some time in June I think.
Its nice to have a friend in blogland who lives so close.
Have a good week
I'm with you on the horror movies! Give me the puzzlers and thrillers any day, but no horror. Loved the new Sherlock Holmes!
