30 questions - a revealing post

Could you answer 30 personal questions in a public forum? And would you want to? There’s a quiz going round Facebook but just to be different, I thought I’d answer them here!

1. Who are you named after? My first name, nobody, but my second name ‘Mary’ pops up frequently in my mother’s family.

2. Last time you cried? When our cat died.
3. Do you like your handwriting? I think it’s characterful. Everybody else thinks it’s the perfect inline cypher system.
4. What is your favorite lunch? Anything seafood! I also like salad of any kind.
5. Do you have any kids? One son; it’s his thirtieth birthday today!
6. Do you use sarcasm? Moi?
7. Do you still have your tonsils? Nope, nor my adenoids.
8. Would you bungee jump? Probably a bit late  – I have a back problem. Possibly when younger…
9. What is your favorite cereal? My own made up muesli.
10. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Yes, anything else is a lack of moral fibre. 😉
11. Do you think you are strong? Physically, less than I used to be. Mentally and emotionally, as strong as ever.
12. What is your favorite ice cream? Vanilla, preferably with some nutmeg and cinnamon.
