QUESTIONS:
If you could interview anyone from your life living or dead, but not a celebrity, who would it be and why?
I know some very interesting people whose stories I love listening to. Some local friends who are a few years older than me. They all have stories to tell about the different jobs they have done, places they have been to and the people they’ve met. I’d also nominate my mum who used to tell us lots of stories about living in Egypt and India when she was a girl, about life in England during WWII and all sorts of other things that I never tired of hearing about.
Mum with her family, I think this was around 1925 or thereabouts. Mum is the curly haired one in the middle.
As a child, did you have a nickname? Did you carry that with you throughout life or was it only in childhood that you used it?
No, I didn’t have a nickname. Some kids who had not heard my unusual name before found it amusing to call me Verandah but I didn’t share their amusement and it didn’t last past the fourth grade as far as I recall.
Give us three words that describe you:
Stubborn, Introverted, Independent
Sneaking into a second movie at the theatre (if you go to a movie house)? Is that wrong or just harmless ‘fun’?
I don’t even know how you do that but it sounds dishonest.
If you had a time machine would you go back to the past or forward into the future? Why?
I already went back. See?

April Gratitude:
I’m grateful for having ten days off from the Op Shop over Easter and ANZAC day to recharge my batteries.
Did you go inside just in case…?

Your mum looked like (I presume) her mother just to the left there in the picture. A ‘mini me’ of sorts! What a great photo to have! And as to the movie thing? What one does is pay for a movie and then when it’s finished, sneak into a second one without paying. Yeah, it is dishonest. I suspect the movie house people are a lot more irritable about it these days too…going to the movies is an expensive ‘treat’. Thanks Vanda, for Sharing Your World ! 🙂

Going to the movies is expensive and inconvenient for me as the nearest cinema is in Hobart and the session times rarely fit in with my bus timetable. I guess it would be possible to sneak back in to another movie I’d just never thought of trying.

I always wanted a nickname, but I think I wasn’t a nickname kind of kid. Some kids are, some of us are not.
