1.  June 23rd is National Pink Day. What's your favourite something pink?.

One of my favourite pink things is the dress my daughter wore for her end of school prom.  It was a ball gown with a full skirt and lots of tulle.  There were black flowers on the material but of course the main reason I liked it was because she looked such a picture in it.
 

2.  What did you enjoy most about gym class when you were in school? How about the least?

I did not enjoy gym class at all.  I was very skinny as a child and very self-conscious.
 

3.   What memory is brought to mind by the smell of roses?
My parents.  They both loved roses and we had them in our garden when I was growing up.  I tried growing some in my own garden but wasn’t very successful
 

4.   Do you prefer to read or write?

I enjoy doing both but I read more than I write.  And I don’t think I “write” as such. Maybe one day.
 

5.  Sam Keen is quoted as saying, 'Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.' Would you agree? Is laziness ever respectable? How will you be lazy this summer?
I’d definitely agree because some days it’s just too hot to be doing very much and you need to slow down.  Of course that’s not possible for everyone but I often feel I’m being lazy since I stopped working.  But then I look at what I’ve achieved each day rather than focussing on what still needs to be done.  So I’m sure I’ll be lazy with reading and blogging and lunching with friends in between trying to be productive and make progress on my to do list this summer.
 

6.  The Florida Keys, Disney World, or a resort somewhere on the Gulf Coast...which Florida destination would you choose (and why) if the trip were today?

Well I don’t know enough about Florida to make an informed choice but I’d be looking for somewhere with a quiet beach and a nice pool for me to relax but with places to explore for hubby.  And then interesting places to eat at the end of the day.
 

7.  What question do you hate to answer?  

Where shall we go on holiday?  Hubby and I find it hard to agree on that one.
 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

I’m not calling myself retired just yet but if I can get used to being respectably lazy I might not be finding another job anytime soon.
