What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

I have a little Pinkie

It’s like a little Winkie

Some say that that is Lude

Really they are just Rude

For my Pinkie likes to Wriggle

And my friends they always Giggle

A Rabbits Ear or A Witches Tongue

A little bird when Spring has Sprung

To tell the truth , and verify,

There’s no need to tell a lie,

It isn’t just Pinkie at all !

All my Fingers have a Ball!

Everything is Dandy and Right

Until my mum turns off the Light

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Cartoons were fun,the slapstick of Tom and Jerry always seemed amazing to me.No one ever died and revenge was hopeless.Everyone lived to fight another day.

I don’t think I’ve watched a cartoon in a long while,although animation as an art form certainly has its ‘place.

Possibly some high art form would be my thing now.I think I started watching a Japanese animated film about a young boy who tries to look after his sister after losing their parents in the war,I couldn’t watch it to the end as it was so sad. The little girl died of starvation.

There you go,I am glad that Tom and Jerry were around when I was a kid,they gave me  resilience and perspective.

Namaste,thank you for reading

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Some have favourite places,others have favourite places thrust upon them.

The St Ives Car Park  was most definitely thrust upon me.

I first visited the place with my late mum and dad who were  visiting me in Bristol where I had started a new job as a sales representative for a now bankrupt manufacturer of chocolate.

I was rather pleased with my new Company Car,so one day I offered to take them out for a drive.I’d heard about St Ives in Cornwall and thought it would be nice for a visit.

A four hours drive each way in torrential rain and we only had a brief half hour walk around the car park at the top of St Ives,we could see through the mist ,the town harbour and got the impression it would have been nice,if the weather had been better.Still it was getting dark and we had to get back.

I had forgotten about St Ives and really hadn’t a clue where it was,until I met my husband whose family holidays were always two weeks in Cornwall(Kernow). We had such wonderful times,and of course we visited  the St Ives  Car Park on a nice day.

I just remembered getting my bearings and retracing the steps I took with my  late mum and dad around that Car Park .

I had quite forgotten the  St Ives Car Park , but those few metres  brought back a happy memory of my parents ,of time spent with them.I walked through the town of St Ives in a daze, in hot sunshine and couldn’t help but think how much they would have enjoyed the walk too.

Namaste

Share five things you’re good at.

Sharing,Procrastinating,Sleeping,Contemplating and Laughing in no particular order and sometimes all together.

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

Most definitely the late great David Bowie summed up how we should all feel about external forces asking us to look at ourselves and change.

I share the lyrics and the song  in the link below and if the link works in your region. It’s a lesson in how to handle change and surely the Great Man’s life indeed was a lesson in dealing with external forces and changes.

Enjoy! 😍

Are you more of a night or morning person?

Definitely Morning,although it  depends what time zone  I’m in.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I don’t know what would happen to the lives of animals who we breed for eating.They basically would not exist as there was no need for them to exist.

The cruelty associated with the “use ” of animals needs to stop.I would give up meat eating straight away if I thought it would,but it won’t.

So I try and buy meat from a good source with as kind of a supply chain that  is verified to me.

I could be vegetarian and would be if there wasn’t a nagging doubt in my head that by not acknowledging or buying from the “meat ” industry that standards will deteriorate and cruelty will continue.There would be no good practice.

As I say,it’s complicated.
