QUESTIONS

How many pillows do you sleep with?  If over one or two, is it because you sleep better ‘propped up’ a little?

Currently I am only using one. I have tried two. Finding the perfect pillow is never easy, is it? I have tried sleeping a little propped up when congestion has made breathing difficult but as I like to have my shoulders undercover in cool weather it doesn’t really work well for me.

What would be the worst thing you could put in a piñata?

I know what these are although I’ve never been to a party where they had them. I’m sorry to say that the first thing that came to mind was poo.

 (for those unfamiliar with piñatas, they’re a popular party ‘game’ especially at children’s parties.  Made of paper maché the idea is to hit the thing which is on a rope or tied in the air somehow with a stick or something and get the prize if you smush it open.  It’s filled with candy and small toys usually)   

What noise annoys you the most?

Millennial music is right up there. A lot of current pop music seems to be whiny love songs that all sound the same to me. Or the other kind of noisy music, the kind when your neighbours throw a party and play music so loud you can hear it inside your house but it’s just a dull “doof, doof, doof” with no discernable tune for several hours. (Yes, our across the road neighbours did this last weekend.)

If cartoon physics suddenly replaced real physics, what are some things you would want to try?

Some people who obviously have too much time on their hands have written quite a lot about cartoon physics including this “Amendment” It would be a pretty handy to have a bag like that.

Cartoon Law Amendment F

Any bag, sack, purse, etc. possessed by a character is a tesseract – any number of objects of any size may be placed in it or removed from it with no change in its outer dimensions.

As a kid I always thought that the portable hole would be a cool thing to have. It would still be something I’d like to have. Apart from escaping from inconvenient situations it would be very handy for gardening, doing away with all that tiresome digging when you wanted to plant something. Invisibility could be fun to try as well.

GRATITUDE SECTION (as always, OPTIONAL)

Please share something good that has happened to you over the past month.

I was very pleased to be complimented on my work at the Visitor Centre where I volunteer once a week. It’s nice to know that I’m doing a good job and that it is appreciated.

Recently I wrote about going to Oatlands to get Naomi’s house ready for sale. I’m pleased to say that she has had an offer on it already so we’re hoping that it will turn into a sale very soon.
