Di is our host once again for Share Your World as Melanie continues to rest and recuperate. Here are the questions.

1. If you were to go to a desert island and could only take five things with you, what would they be?

I take it this is a voluntary visit rather than being stranded Castaway style. I will also assume for the sake of this question that there is a supply of drinkable water,food, some kind of shelter and the means to call someone to come and get me when I’d had enough solitude.

1. Sunscreen, lots of it. I don’t want to get sunburn or worse, skin cancer.
2. Reading material, if I’m limited in the amount I can have and power is not available to charge my Kindle I’d take a favourite book that I would be happy to reread many times rather than an “airport book” that I might never want to read again.
3. My camera with spare batteries and cards.
4. A photo album with pictures of my loved ones including pets if this was going to be a long stay.
5. A towel, because you should always know where your towel is at.

2. What popular song (any era) best describes you?

At one time I would have said “Rose Coloured Glasses” but I’m less of an optimist than I used to be so now I don’t know.

3. If you could only use three basic ingredients to make a meal, what would they be?

Meat, potatoes and a green vegetable of some description.

4. Do you allow your pet on the furniture?

Yes, sometimes they even allow me to join them.

GRATITUDE:

It’s the start of a new week. What are you most looking forward to?

Last week was a bit of a bummer so I’m looking forward to this week being better. I’m looking forward to seeing Polly get back on her feet and to seeing some more tulips coming into bloom.
