1. April showers bring May flowers or so the saying goes. Is there a flower you associate with a particular memory? Explain.
Not especially although I do remember Mum and Dad having quite a few rose bushes in their garden and I love the smell.
2. Last time you helped someone? Tell us how.

I think as a parent you are always helping your kids in some way.  (Until you get older and the roles reverse.)  We recently helped our youngest son and his wife move out and into their own flat.
3. It's National Salsa Month (the food, not the dance) so tell us, do you like salsa? Hot, medium, or mild? Homemade, store bought, or from your favourite restaurant only?
I prefer the dance!  Seriously I prefer it mild and it’s usually store bought.
4. When I was twelve years old...
I had just started secondary school and I was so naïve and found it all a bit daunting.
5. It's the first of May so let's run with it-first things first, don't know the first thing about it, first dibs on something, first impression, first rate, first cousin, first string, first come first served, at first light-which phrase can best be applied to something in your life currently or even recently?

Now we have the house back to ourselves there are lots of things that need doing or that I just want to do.  So many that I’m having to make a plan and work out which tasks are “first things first”.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

I need to get cracking on my knitting.  I’ve started the second baby blanket but those Grandbabies will be here in just a few weeks.  I picked grey for the second one but I have a long way to go!
