Who are your favorite people to be around?

At various times,at various places we can all be our favourite people.

And the exact opposite applies too.

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

My Wellingtons passed the other day

They had a good life I’m glad to say

The sole had cracked and they began to leak

Sadly they will never become antique

I remember well the day they were bought

Five years ago,I thought then nought,

About how good friends they would be

To my allotment and me,

In every weather,

We were together,

They splurged through mud and claggy clay

And cleaned up nicely the next day,

To  spade and fork  they were a friend

I’m sad that this is now the end.

Write about your approach to budgeting.

My budget is a fudge It,

A pot that’s not a lot

It’s never going to be that  much

As money is not my crutch

It comes and goes

And ebbs and flows

I jump back from seeing  the abyss of debt

Walk away from the need to get

To do without an unsecured loan

To purchase the latest phone

Is no big deal

Infact feels more real

If it’s not a critical  need

Then it’s probably a  false creed.

The secret is to ignore

The  attractive marketable whore

Takes discipline my friend

But you’ll be happier in the end.

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

I recently watched Steven Spielberg’s film “Lincoln”.It summed up to me how difficult it is to follow the right path when you are chosen to lead.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Unintentionally breaking the law sounds a bit edgy to me,if I had I wouldn’t admit to it.

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?

Of course Paige Turner could be a sleuth private detective living by her wits in downtown Los Angeles,saving her World one clue at a time.

Or indeed as I originally envisaged she could be a lady sitting  on a shared piano stool turning music notation pages for a forgetful  piano player in a sleazy bar in Soho.

Either way, Page Turner seems a good title for an everywoman or everyman biography.I suppose we all do it.

Happy Valentine’s Day.Namaste and Thank you for reading.

Prompt; What were your Parents doing at Your Age?

Feck, my parents were brilliant wonderful people, and what does age matter. Life takes it’s toll and my father never reached my age and my mother was heartbroken he was no longer by her side for the rest of her life. That influenced me a lot.

It’s life, and all I have is memories of both of them. They were hardworking and intelligent people who made the most of the choices life gave them.

I assume this post is aimed at younger people and that what their parents did when their parents were young is important.

I see it slightly differently , we all have a life to live and we can’t or should not follow in others footsteps, that was the lesson my parents taught me. They were individuals, they choose a path and they encouraged others. What they were doing at my age is irrelevant.

Back in your box, algorithm!

😉 Thank you for reading. Namaste and may your Sentient Being Be With You.

Write about your dream home.

Well it has to be The Little House on The Prairie(An  American T.V. Drama Series from the 1970’s).

The story of the  rural comfort of a hardworking farming community in a sandy dry like dessert land  that nothing much grew in.

Everyone ,at least on T.V.  , played their part in feeding ,clothing and watering  themselves  and  their small holding .

There were rattlesnakes and  flu could kill you,but mama made the best apple pie and always looked nice in her worn out apron and her hair and make up.

Disaster came in the form of  big corporations and Bank Loans  that  forced them  to sell their land  to  big Corporations and move their  families  to the city to work in the newly expanding car factories.

  Their memories of that idyllic  rural life kept them going.

Such dreams can only be generated by American TV series of the 70’s.They were so influential and perhaps misleading They gave us our dreams though .

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

As always ,hobbies are fun and not for outgrowing or losing interest in otherwise they would not be a hobbie or a passion.

Real life occasionally gets in the way.

What’s your favorite candy?

I even love the name and I love a traditional sweetshop.
