Today’s Question:

As most of you know by now, my snack ‘weakness/craving’ is chocolate. What’s yours? Me too! I love chocolate.


Extra Credit Question:

Please feel free to share extra details…

Have you ever –

Been booked for speeding? I've had one speeding ticket.

Hand-made something as a gift for a new baby (knitted, sewn, built - whatever)? No

Been on a cruise? No

Had a job you absolutely hated? Yes, but it's too long of a story to tell here...lol.

Won a prize in a competition associated with the arts (painting, drawing, photography, writing, singing etc)? Only when I was in high school band. We won lots of awards. I've never won an individual award for the arts.


Bonus Question:

Do you have a dishwasher of the non-human kind? If yes, how often do you usually run it? No


Just for fun:

Today is Drink Wine Day. Do you drink wine? If so, what’s your favourite wine? I don't drink wine very often. When I do, I usually prefer white wine.

I’ve barely been able to hear myself think! The shed has a way to go as they’ve only just laid the concrete slab, but hopefully the kitchens will be finished tomorrow!

Today’s Question:

As most of you know by now, my snack ‘weakness/craving’ is chocolate. What’s yours? - I don't think I have any.. unless you want to count anything computerized, mechanical with wheels, like cars, guns, or something with wings like airplanes... Okay, I'll stick to the cheaper stuff.. like good coffee?

Extra Credit Question:

Please feel free to share extra details…

Have you ever –
Been booked for speeding? - Booked? No.. but I've gotten tickets before..
Hand-made something as a gift for a new baby (knitted, sewn, built - whatever)? - Imagine me, knitting or sewing something.. that would be very scary! - I hand made an omelet and gave it to a girlfriend.. That might be why I'm still single.. - Just kidding. I can't think of anything right now.... besides silly answers..
Been on a cruise? - Cruise altitudes.. Otherwise, no.. at least not on ships..
Had a job you absolutely hated? - Ehh....
Won a prize in a competition associated with the arts (painting, drawing, photography, writing, singing etc)? - Marksmanship competition.

Bonus Question:

Do you have a dishwasher of the non-human kind? If yes, how often do you usually run it? - My dishwasher always talks to me and tells me "Please put dishes in washer" and keeps repeating it.. until it gets frustrated and starts yelling.. I do have a dishwasher and I don't use it very often, For the most part, I hand-wash my dishes.

Just for fun:

Today is Drink Wine Day. Do you drink wine? If so, what’s your favourite wine? - Rarely.. usually that red stuff Savin.. gin.. onion or something..
