Desiderata
Look this poem up on the Internet. It used to be one of my mother’s favourites and we had various copies on all sorts of objects from tea towels to a rather nice engraved metal plaque inside a frame. It is a lovely poem and has been the subject of much ambiguity and even legal…

Me scared !?!?
I’m not really scared of doing anything. It’s more that I am scared of things being done to me that are beyond my control! BUT see my ‘bibbysmith’ WordPress entry.

Being cold!
I have always felt cold – well at least since the sweltering heat in Madrid that made me barely able to move. 40°C in Madrid and at the airport waiting to board the plane, I was just sat in my wheelchair and begging for the chance to get on board with the air-conditioning. It was…

What would you do if you won the lottery?
Look for the scam or system error – I don’t play the lottery! For a longer answer to this question seemed my ‘bibbysmith’ WordPress site.

An example of where I felt “loved”.
As I said on my post to my ‘bibbysmith’ WordPress site, I don’t really think of friendship as being the same as “loved”. Maybe I just value friendship on a different level to “love”. “LOVE” I tend to reserve for family and my partner and I have never really felt comfortable with ending letters, e-mails…

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
Now this can be read on two levels – reducing the amount of unused, physical objects that clutter up your life and/or reducing the amount of “mental” clutter!

I still predominantly communicate via e-mail, but…

15. What is your favorite animal?
I have always loved cats being brought up with them since I was a child. So taking today’s prompt as a specific example, my favourite animal at the moment has to be my current pet “Charlie”. He is so good-natured, extremely friendly and lovely to snuggle up with at night. (Accept when he decides to…

13. Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Living on an island (not big, but not small) “road trips” are not something that I have tended to make and those that I have not particularly “memorable”. However, the first that came to mind was the journey across Europe that I made with my partner many years ago probably just after we had finished…

12. Today’s prompt arrived just before my dinner!
At that point the answer was nothing! I was looking forward to my dinner of gnocchi, red peppers, leeks and so snap spurred the last thing on my mind. However, now that if you hours have passed I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of chocolate biscuits (leftover Christmas present) with a nice cup of “sleepy tea”…
