Clouds drifting by

18. Do you enjoy gardening? Have you started your garden already? What are you planting this year?

No. I like looking at pretty flowers but I've never been into gardening.

16. What three features would be non-negotiable in your dream house?

Big windows, wooden floors, lots of bookcases.

If anyone's curious to read one, the Open Library has a few you can borrow. The School at the Chalet is the first book.

I've missed a number of days, I know.

10. Do you prefer to write with a pen, pencil, or other writing utensil?
A pen, if I'm writing something out. If I'm writing (as in a story), I type using my mouse to click the letters on an onscreen keyboard. It's horribly slow.

11. It's Celebrate Teen Lit Day! What's a favorite book from your teen years?
The Princess of the Chalet School. It was a tatty little Armada paperback and was given to me by my much-loved Auntie Vi (my Grandma's sister). It introduced me to the wonderful world of the Chalet School by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer. The original series was 60 books long and covered the years from 1928 to the late 60s. The books set just before and during WW2 are especially interesting.

12. What is your favorite snack food?
Chocolate or biscuits, espcially jammy dodgers.

13. What sorts of things are you most likely to buy at a thrift store or second-hand shop?
Bric à brac.

14. It's Perfume Day today. What are your favorite perfumes and colognes?
Vanderbilt or Yardley's violets.

Especially for bird fans.

I've just finished watching the last season of The Good Place. I hate the last episode. *grabs tissues and sobs*

Has anyone else watched the series?

Love it.

21. What is one thing you did this week that moved you closer to one of your goals?
Ha! That was today's news! I heard from a new relative!

22. If you could make a bouquet or arrangement of your three favorite flowers, which three would you choose?
Gerbera daisies, tulips, and roses.

23. What was a favorite book you read when you were a child?
The Lost Prince, by Frances Hodgson-Burnett.

Borrowed from the lovely mollywheezy!
