Favourite Foods

What are your favorite types of foods?

Oh gosh!!!

I love just about all foods 😋

I enjoy tasting all the different flavours, traditions, and the local ingredients from all the countries I visit.

So, really, I love all foods.

Yum
now I’m hungry đŸ€”đŸ˜đŸ˜‚

‘Walk and Run’

How often do you walk or run?

I can’t run, but I can walk

I can’t stand, but I can dance

Due to spinal complications which required major surgery;

Thoracic spinal fracture

Lumbar disc protrusions

Double cervical discectomy and fusion

Cervical spinal osteophytes removal

I couldn’t run away, but I walked away, and now I’m dancing.

Keep smiling 😁, keep dancing 💃, keep safe.

Leader đŸ€”

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Do I see myself as a leader đŸ€”â€Šno, not really.

I was a college lecturer for twenty years, so if that makes me a leader then maybe so.

Favourite Word

What’s your favorite word?

Hmmmm
. My favourite word has to be ‘discombobulated’

It is a word that represents me to a tee, well, it did!

I often felt in a state of confusion, disorientation, anxiety, about something, but never really knowing of what.

I love the sound of the word; discombobulated! It rolls off the tongue wonderfully. It has a certain sense of humour about it.

Hopefully, my new favourite word will become; ‘recombobulated’ đŸ€žđŸ€—đŸ˜‚

This Evening

What are you doing this evening?

Chilling on the sofa. Went to Chepstow Race course on Sunday for a music festival, and I’m still exhausted đŸ€Ł. Too much rum and dancing!

Athlete

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

The professional athlete I respect the most has to be Sir Mo Farah.

One of Britains most celebrated track athletes. I respect him, not only for his athletic achievements, but also for his strength, resilience, and spirit with reference to his childhood traumas.

A truly remarkable man.

Relax

How do you relax?

How do I relax?

Potter in my garden: weather dependant
always raining in Wales!

Reading: migraine dependant.

Make Love: hormone dependant.

Spend time with family: I don’t have any.

Chill out with friends: they are all bloody married and busy with hubby.

Go on holiday: no one to go with.

Cooking: would love to cook for others, not just for myself.

Painting: keeps me from my bed for days.

Writing my memoir: emotionally draining.

So, what do I do to relax? Jump in the hot tub with a glass of wine đŸ«§đŸ«§đŸ·đŸ˜

Five up a word

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

I cannot answer this question đŸ€”.

There are many words that I use regularly that I would rather not use, but I don’t think I can give up any of them at the moment. They are relevant. So I won’t bore you with my endless list.

So, it’s not a matter of giving up one word, it’s more about not having the need to use a specific ‘word‘.

If that makes any sense? đŸ€”đŸ€Ș

Grudge

Are you holding a grudge? About?

Am I holding a grudge? No

I have experienced some awful traumas in my life.

But do I hold a grudge? No

I was the victim, they were the perpetrators.

Do I hold a grudge? No

You cannot heal if you hold a grudge.

So, No, I do not hold a grudge.

I am a survivor, I am healing.

That’s because I don’t hold a grudge.

Well, that’s my thoughts đŸ€”

Furthest Traveled

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I was 23yrs old when I first traveled abroad, the first time I had been on an aeroplane. My son was 10 months old. Wow, it was a long and tumultuous flight. We departed from London Heathrow to Sydney, Australia. It wasn’t a direct flight, I don’t think there was a direct flight then, not sure if there is one now.

We had two refuelling stops en route; Singapore and India.

Having never flown before I didn’t know or had experienced turbulence. WOW
my son was thrown out of his cot and hit the ceiling of the aeroplane. The flight crew looked terrified, there were numerous passengers praying in the aisles. I myself, was laughing
hysterically!

The journey, overall, took over forty hours.

I was laughing hysterically because I was terrified.

But, I have flown again many times since đŸ€—.
