1) We are having a picnic! What foodstuffs/beverages/other would you bring? Lemonade (the fizzy kind), red wine, bread, fruit salad (Harry says with pineapple), chèvre with chives, veggie platter with ranch dip. And my decadent chocolate chip blonde brownies for dessert.
2)Do you have a favourite word, phrase or quote? Favorite word: Actually... (the way my Harry says it. Usually followed by a long explanation of facts and Harry's version of the world)
As for a phrase... Hmm... Not really... Maybe "Meep!" a la Beaker? It says so much...
Favorite quote: Dorothy L. Sayers: Anyone may have the melody if they allow us the counterpoint.
3)What is your favourite song to sing? Ooo.. Hard. Haven't been singing much lately. I loved singing Vivaldi's "Laudaumus Te" from "Gloria" back when I was in better voice about twenty-odd years ago. These days much more likely to be something Disney- Mulan. Though presently, Greg is holding a hand over my mouth so that I won't sing- my biggest critic!
4)What's your favorite type of candy/sweet type thing? In short- chocolate. To eat- handmade truffles. To make- chocolate dipped fruit.
5)Is there anything you're particularly not looking forward to this week? Anything you are? Not really looking forward to the phone calls I have to make for work. And I am planning on getting my hair cut and colored, finally!,
6)Sunny or rainy or snowy? I love all types of weather. The patter of rain on the roof when one s all tucked in and cozy... The hush of a snowstorm in the middle of the night... The joy of a bright warm day full of birdsong and bright blue skies. Currently it is a sleepy rainy day here in PA.
7)Do you have any teddy bears/other stuffed animals? If so, do you have a favourite?
I had a well loved tattered teddy when I was very small named Teddy- she had been my brother John's first and he had loved all her fur off already. She did not last past my childhood though. I brought a big bear with me to uni- he is still at my parents and has gone through many names- Yeltsin, Boris, Meadvead (Russian for bear-honey-eater) And I have the FAO Schwartz dolphin that my college sweetheart gave me back in the day, Rusalnichka (little mermaid in Russian). Though I did have to convince my nephew to give it back to me, and sometimes I need to tussle with my boys to keep her. But my favorite stuffed toy? Greg's Boo, his big bear. He is so well loved, he looks very wise. Which reminds me... Harry force-fed Boo a banana and he needs to be cleaned and re-stuffed. Gotta go!
