An Interview With... Me!

It's been years since I took part in a Q&A session prompted by another blogger but Liska at New Mum Online has included me her list of favourite bloggers victims.  At first I read her post when I'd had a glass or two of wine so set off answering the questions that she'd answered.  Then I realised that she had made her own questions up at the end and I'm supposed to answer those.  SO MANY RULES - I'M SO CONFUSED.  Anyway... I'm not sure I've answered them all as expected but then that's the risk you take when you ask me questions.

If you're into soaps, are you a Corrie or Enders girl?
Neither.  I used to spend half my evenings glued to the soaps, getting attached to all the characters and their story lines and investing too much time in pretend situations.  I can't remember when I tore myself away from them but that part of the evening is now dedicated to replying to emails and studying.  

What's your favorite You Tube video?
This one.  I bet you thought it was going to be a music one, didn't you?  More of the same here. 


If you were to be rescued from a fire and given a fireman's lift by a celebrity, who would he be?
He?  
If it has to be a man then it should be Simon le Bon or Mark Salling.  If it was a woman then it would be Emma Thompson or Uma Thurman.  

What is your favourite childhood book?
Maggie and the Roundabout and The Turbulent Term Of Tyke Tyler.  Oh and Forever by Judy Blume. I still have my original copies of all of these along with a whole load of other favourite books from my past. You can read about those here. 

Are you a Mummy or Daddy's girl?
I'm not ready to answer this question.  

Bath or shower?
Both (not at the same time...) - bath to relax in, shower for speed.

Have you ever seen or sensed a ghost? Tell me about it!
Don't make me roll my eyes.  o_0

When do you feel at peace? How? When?
I like the end of the evening, just as I'm climbing into bed, when the whole house is quiet and everyone is asleep (I'm usually the last one to bed).  I know that we are as secure as we can be, I am warm and comfortable and I am just about to listen to a podcast to help me wind down completely.

If I voted you for PM, what would you change about the UK?
Where to start?  I would create a "super Government" which would include one representative from each party and all decisions would be made by round table discussions.  Real people with real opinions would be given the chance to come and work for me and share their thoughts, moving forward to adjust existing policies accordingly to make a fairer system for all.  I would also create a scheme that allowed school leavers to participate in a confidence/motivation course and then to train for a career or a trade or to opt in for National Service.  The idea behind this would be that school would be based on ability rather than age and would be for learning basic curriculum and life skills eradicating the need for 14 year olds to choose what subjects to study that may (or may not) shape the rest of their lives. 

The youth of today are....... [finish that sentence]
Not given the chance to be heard.

What's your superfood of choice?
I have no idea what a "superfood" is. Is it a new buzzword?  If it is food that I think is super then I choose Holland's steak pudding and proper home made chips.

Mayo or Ketchup?
How do you evaluate success?
What is your social media platform of choice and why?
What would be your chosen superpower?

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
