Why is it that I never seem to do Monday Madness on a Monday?
1. What is your solution for cabin fever – you know that feeling of being penned in the house all winter?
Read a good book. Or go for a walk, even if it’s cold out. But reading helps keep that feeling at bay, mostly, so I don’t have that problem very often.
2. Who are the people in your neighbourhood…in your neighbourhood, in your neighbourhood…..?
Huh? Am I missing something? Why the repetition?
Moving on, my neighbours seem to be something of a mixed lot. We’ve got old-age pensioneers of the “we built the country” type. We’ve got twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings and forty-somethings and probably fifty-somethings, single and married and everything in between, with kids and without. We’ve got kids. We’ve got immigrants of pretty much every colour (don’t know enough about them to say the same about religion etc.). We’ve got the old, retired janitor whos spends his days hanging out his kitchen window, smoking and chatting to people and watching what little action there is on the street. It’s pretty laidback. It’s all good.
3. What’s the best thing about spring?
Light. Light. Light. And not having to put on oodles of clothes every time you want to put your nose outside.
4. Any Easter traditions?
Reading whodunnits. Going to the cabin. Eating eggs – from poultry or chocolate.
5. How old were you believing in the Easter bunny?
I never did. It’s not so much a tradition in Norway, anyway, and my parents never told me about the Easter Bunny – nor about Santa Claus. Just as well, I think.
