1. What's something fun you're looking forward to on your May calendar?

My daughter’s birthday (13th) and the weekend we just had to celebrate it together as a family – it included the first two days of May.

Birthday meal menu - we had a chef come to cook at the house we stayed in.

The birthday girl.

Me with our 3 and their partners.

2. What are some images that come to mind when you hear the word mother?
My mother and my mother-in-law, both great examples to us.

Me as a baby with my Mum.

3. What's something beautiful you own or have seen that's made of glass? 

I have a punch bowl and matching glasses, a wedding present.  We’ve been using them more lately because although I would be upset if it got broken it should be more than just an ornament.

4. Was today typical? If not what made it unusual? 

No because I’m waiting in for a repair man for the washing machine so don’t feel I can start anything in case the doorbell rings.

5. What is a quality you wish you could have more of?

Confidence.

6. What's the next major purchase you need to make? Will it happen in the month of May? 

Well depending on the outcome of the repair visit it could be a washing machine and would definitely be in May!

7. What responsibility/job/work did you dislike while growing up but has proved helpful to you as an adult?

I said I wanted more confidence.  I was always shy and not good at mingling but my first part time jobs were in retail so I guess they helped – just not enough.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 

It’s a beautiful sunny day today, might even get out and cut the grass.
