Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

His name was Stu, I saw him sitting in a subway connecting the bus station to the main town where I worked. He was sitting on the ground, I suppose looking for people to give him spare change or buy him a coffee or a bacon roll for breakfast.

I don’t know how I got talking to him, he didn’t seem like other more aggressive homeless people who in truth I avoided .I worried Stu would get into a fight about whose “patch” it was but nothing ever happened.Though I think the Police moved him on occasionally.

One time I spoke to him and he told me a story about someone he knew in prison,for he had done “time”.I can’t even remember what he told me and it was a tragic but funny story and  I started laughing uncontrollably and so did he, it was a shared moment and a good start to the working day.

I walked away with tears of joy in my eyes, I wasn’t worried about Stu,he could look after himself.We lost touch,but even with whatever problems he had I’m sure he is fine.

And it was a very positive encounter.

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

I remember the moment like it was yesterday,my arms were held high above my head and I was standing very  unsteadily. There were lots of oohs and ahhh s in the room and everyone was watching me.

I put one foot in front and wobbled,then another, the hands that held onto mine above my head  moved forward slowly with me, my  right foot’s chubby toes dangled in the air. Then hit the ground again.

There were cheers of delight , I had chosen the right moment to take my first steps.

Describe something you learned in high school.

That if you are good at sport ,bullies don’t bother you.

I had a bad feeling I was going to be picked on by a group of girls,but it was just before our one and only ever hockey lesson at school

The teacher wanted to demonstrate the basics of a tackle using a hockey stick  and chose me as her opposition.I stopped her every time she tried to get by me.

Later on I noticed the main girl had decided that I was no longer a target.

It was a weird feeling,but sadly they just moved on to someone else.

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

Exercise is good for us and the most beneficial and rewarding is to do something that fits into your life and capabilities and is enjoyable to you.

What book could you read over and over again?

I can’t be alone in always getting more out of a book by reading it more than once.

So there are many books I would reread.

And it is one of the great pleasures of life to revisit a book,just like an old friend.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

I would want to be Andras Bonhime ,

A jaunty hero of another time

A feisty  character of charm and wit,

 Who  first appeared in a book called “Pit”

Later  turned into a film “Drift”

The book’s  title  no one understood at all,

But the rights were bought by Lucille  Ball,

She said it had legs just like her

And thought it would make Desi a big movie star,

Andreas fought  his way through every page,

And after four chapters never seemed to age,

From fair lady to foul and back again,

He swash buckled his way through thick and

thin,

The director tried but Desi’s age showed,

To a younger actor Desi bowed,

The  action was light,but the film took flight

Andras Bonhime won every fight,

It was a story of love and passion and grit,

With no mention of the dreaded “Pit”.

“Drift ” became a household favourite,

With fans of Andreas being most forthright

Soon Lucille’s coffers began to earn,

She had tonnes of money ,enough to burn,

Andras certainly was a spot

The box office takings were very hot,

As with everything good and true,

The film never made it to sequel two,

But Andras remains a character of gold,

Appearing  in one of the best stories ever told.

What animals make the best/worst pets?

I don’t have a pet,

I have a companion,

Just a dog,but I’m his minion,

There’s things he knows,

Places he goes,

That I have forgotten long  about

For that he  sighs and  cares but  nout,

I provide him shelter ,warmth and better food,

And for that he promises to be good,

In his little heart though he’s a part of the wild

Even though I treat him like a little child.

He plays his part and does his duty

And rolls on his tummy when I call him cutey,

His friends long past would laugh to see,

Their D.N.A expressed in such frivolity,

There is no such thing as an animal pet,

They are companions and we owe them  such a

debt,

They give us love and trust and care

But their history is wild and we must be aware,

And give them space to think and do,

And live a life just like you.
