Sharing My World This Week

 

What would you ask for if a genie granted you three wishes?

1. The perfect house that expanded to fit the amount of stuff that was put into it but never looked any larger on the outside. A sort of TARDIS house.
2. No more aches and pains, back aches and arthritis for my sister and me.
3. A very large sum of money to use for travelling and collecting stuff to display in our TARDIS house.

I need a house that’s bigger on the inside.

What experiences are most meaningful to you?

I think the ones where I experience a sense of place very strongly. Some stand out ones have been on the Great Wall of China, in a field on the slopes of Ben Nevis in Scotland and more recently on a sunny Sunday on the waterfront in Wellington, New Zealand that felt like a perfect day. I’ve had that same feeling much closer to home though, many times just sitting on the bus coming back to the Huon Valley from Hobart and even in my own back yard.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a traveller going to see the places I read about in books. I thought that being a travel agent might be a good way to achieve that aim as I would get paid to travel or at least be able to do it more cheaply.

Complete this sentence: The best day of my life was…. I don’t know. I’ve had many good days in my life but maybe I haven’t had the best one yet.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I’m grateful for a wonderful holiday. The ship was completely up to expectations and I love New Zealand. I’m grateful that I was able to share the experience with my sister. This week I’m looking forward spending some time at home with my pets, catching up with some local friends and writing the first of many blog posts about the trip.
