If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

#Fred as Fred is Nordic for “Peace”.

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

To love.

Who do you spend the most time with?

It’s got to be self, if not selfish.

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

If I had to change my name,

I think I’d go insane,

I’m fond of my nomenclature,

Anything else would be a bore,

But with life’s many twists and turns,

The threat of violence and nasty burns

In fear of the gangsters control,

I’d have to find a hidey hole,

And reinvent myself to dodge the fire,

Of evil wishes and the wicked man’s ire,

To  give up the thing that makes me me

And go by the name of Marilyn Gee.

Namaste .Thank you for reading.

Describe your dream chocolate bar.

Eight foot  tall and One Foot wide.Wrapped in pink  mottled effect matt paper, with the words

                               Mammoth

written in big black letters in  Calibri font with a list of the Chocolate ‘s  impeccable quality ingredients on the back along with its high  Cocoa content.

This is a chocolate bar we could all proudly and perhaps a bit awkwardly  walk into a room while making a significant entrance and turning heads and  at the same time giving  the  message that we are sharers ( it is a bar far too long and wide  for one person to eat).

The chocolate itself would be  wrapped in recyclable environmentally friendly baking paper with the capability of  reusing   to make all sorts of chocolate delights.

There would be a barcode on the side which once scanned would give delightful chocolate recipes and entries to various competitions.

Mammoth surely is the Chocolate to make an impression with and to share.What could be better?

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Well it was a book linked to a vinyl LP that my mother bought for us which was Hansel and Gretel.I don’t remember the music, but I do remember the Grimm’s story.

Anyway, it was beautiful and I love fairy and gremlin stories to this day.

Best Regards

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

I think literature in all languages and eras has an  embracing effect on everyone.A few words can mean a lot and a good story is worth its’ weight in gold.

A top three,ten or twenty is irrelevant. It can be very much a moment in time. Enjoy.

A hairy spider ran across the floor,

I ran quickly for the door,

For three days I did not enter again,

I decided to sleep in my snug den,

I wrapped myself up quite tight,

I even kept on the light

After three days it was safe to go in,

I couldn’t let the spider win,

And sure enough on the third dawn.

That pesky spider had gone.

“Win, Win” I proudly cried,

And hoped the spider hadn’t died.
