Have fun!

1. Tell us about one fun thing on your June calendar. 

My birthday.  Although I haven’t made any plans yet – towards the end of the month so there’s still time.

2. How careful are you in the sun? Do you tan or burn? Do you make it a point to see the dermatologist every year? 

I’m usually pretty careful as I tend to burn.  I’m also not really a sun worshipper so I’m quite happy to keep in the shade.  I don’t see a dermatologist as I don’t feel the need.

3. Describe a time when you wanted to 'throw in the towel'? 

Well I did throw in the towel when I quit work last year.  I had tried very hard to adapt to various changes going on and to work with very difficult people.  But when it began to affect my health I walked away.

4. What's a song you love that has a day of the week in the title or lyrics? 

I’m rubbish at remembering music so I started by thinking of the day of the week and coming up with a song.  But I do like this song.

5. Are you a fan of berries? Which one's your favorite? What's the most recent berry dish you've eaten? Which blueberry breakfast food appeals to you most-blueberry pancakes, blueberry yogurt, or a blueberry muffin? 

I’m not a great eater of berries but we probably have strawberries and blueberries most often.  Of the above I’d chose a blueberry muffin.

6. What's something you want to do before your next birthday? 

I’d like to be fully recovered so that I can enjoy my birthday.  Before next year I want to get back on track with things in the house. 

7. June 1st is National Say Something Nice Day, so let's all say something nice here. 

I love this blogging community.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 

I’m really appreciative of the prayers and good wishes for our niece’s baby.  They have identified a rare genetic disorder which they can now start treating but she’s still very poorly and has a lot of recovering to do.  The parents have been amazing at coping with all this and it’s great to be part of a large family that are all so supportive.
