1. If you were to go on a diet (not that you should, babe, you look marvelous), which of the “fad diets” sounds the most appealing to you?
I’ve got a postcard on my fridge saying “I’m on a seafood diet, I eat everything I see.” I think that pretty much accurately sums up my attitude to fad diets (and most other forms of dieting).
2. I only ask, because with the holidays coming up, there will be a lot more food in our house than usual. It tempts me. Maybe if I exercise I can loose some now, and eat then and have it all balance out. Do you get much exercise?
Much? No. The Scottish Country Dancing helps. As does the fact that I live up four flights of stairs – no elevator.
3. (snip) Have you ever raided someone’s junk pile that was left out for the garbage truck? Or gone dumpster diving? What did you find?
Yup. No very exiting finds, though. A couple of picture frames out of one. A book out of another.
4. Also in that same dumpster was the most awful shade of bright green carpet you’ve ever seen. Seriously, you wouldn’t believe it if I showed you (and I will try to get a photo). Do you have any memories of ugly carpeting in your home or someone else’s?
Most of the places I lived in in England had horrible carpeting, but then I hate wall-to-wall carpets anyway, so it wasn’t necessarily the design of the carpet that was at fault. In Worthing, though, the living-room floor was covered in these brown and yellow swirls, looking much like something that ought to be flushed down the toilet quite quickly before stinking up the bathroom completely. Not nice, but you learn to ignore it.
5. As summer draws to a close, it means fewer outside chores. One I won’t miss at all is mowing the lawn! What summertime chores will you be glad to see go away for the winter months?
Ah. The joys of not having a lawn! Having no garden basically means I don’t really have any summertime chores. The one thing about summer I’m glad to see the end of for a few months is the warm nights that prevent me sleeping.
6. Of course, it is hard to mention fall without at least touching on football. Do you have a(ny) favorite football team(s)? Do you and your family root for the same teams to win?
Huh? What’s this football you’re on about? Seriously, I couldn’t care less, whether it’s American football or soccer. All one to me. My family, well, they’re another kettle of fish entirely.
7. (snip) If you were to visit California, are there any Bloggers you’d like to meet up with?
I don’t think so. I’m not actually entirely sure where the bloggers I’d most like to meet are located, but I don’t think any of them are in California.
