Answering Questions.

Kezzie, over at KezzieAG answered questions from different bloggers and then asked some of her own. I thought it might be quite fun to answer them nere.

1.What is the meaning of life? There's an easy one to start with! I believe Douglas Adams told us it was 42, but I'm not sure how helpful that is...I don't even know what it means: "the meaning of life" ! Does it mean "why are we here"? Does it mean "How should we behave"? In answer to the second question, I believe that the prophet Micah has the answer: "O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

2. Favourite sweetie? Chocklit.

3. Princess Jasmine or Belle? Why? I don't understand this question, I'm afraid?! I guess it's referring to a film/ story book, but it's passed me by!

4. What do you like most about blogging? Reading people's comments and finding out that they've enjoyed what I've written,or found it helpful/interesting/ humorous. Also I love finding new blogs to read - whether it's just once, or whether I become a Follower.

5. And what do you like least? Writing a post and getting no response! Though I have to say I'm guilty of reading other people's blogs and not commenting, so I shouldn't complain if people don't comment on my blog!

Actually, the other thing I don't like about blogging is the fact that the Wibsite won't let me publish photos and is getting tiresome to use. I'm getting more and more frustrated with it. I'm planning on changing my blog provider - watch this space for details!

6. Who was your favourite childhood stuffed/cuddly toy and why? Do you still have them? I had myriad bears ("bears" being the generic term for stuffed toys): Jeremy, Barrington, Monty and Marty the mice, Angus the dog, Pooh Bear, Fluffy...and those are the ones I can remember! I still have Pooh Bear, who became a monk during my slightly "High Church" phase at college. He was given new velveteen paws and new eyes by a dear friend, but he no longer wears his habit. I now have a new generation of bears, including Woburn, Disley-the-Rabbit, Cadbury-the-Camel and Kitten.

7. Favourite board game? Don't really play board games, but I quite like "Who's in the Bag" - a type of fast paced charades. It appeals to the actor in me.

8. Would you rather be a sheep or a cow? Why? A sheep. It's the woolly coats that appeal.

9. What word do you have issues with spelling? Diarrhoea. Occasion (until someone told me that "on occasion I wear a shirt with two collars and one sleeve" - two cs and one s).

10. What pet would you love if you could have something? A dog. Specifically a rescue dog. Something not too big but not too small. Kind of woolly. But Mr D doesn't want a dog, and I suspect nor do the cats. I love cats - and if I had to choose, it would be cats all the way, but hey, the question isn't about choosing one OR the other, is it?!

I think these are pictures of pure breed dogs, but something like this:

or this...

11. What question would you like to answer that you've never been asked? Here's a million pounds for you to do with as you wish: what would you like to do with it?

Answer: keep some, but give a lot of it away. I'd just love to be able to say "Here you are, Amnesty International/ Diannah School of English/ Action Aid/ Spanish Stray Cats / several other charities - here's a subsantial amount of money for you".
