Wednesday Hodgepodge - 12/3/25

Joyce provides the questions, we provide the answers and you can join in here.

1. March 15th is known as The Ides of March, the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C....have you ever been to Rome? If so what did you love most about the city? If not, is this a place you'd like to visit? 

I haven't been to Rome but yes I'd like to visit.

2. 'Rome wasn't built in a day.' What project/activity/improvement (of any kind) do you have going on right now to which this saying might be applied? 

Well I've been making a blanket for a lonnnnnnnng time which thankfully is almost finished. So that's one thing but I also have a lot of things in my house, many of which are not even mine, that need to be moved on.  Either given away, sold, taken to a charity shop or the tip!  (Rubbish dump).  The trouble is sorting all of this is time consuming.  It's a work in progress.

3. Let's do a little this or that with some Italian foods...

• Caprese salad or Prosciutto with melon? 
• Bruschetta or Antipasto? 
• lasagne or ravioli?
• bolognese or Carbonara?
• Risotto or gnocchi? 
• tiramisu~gelato~cannoli? 

4. Of the colours red, white, and green which would I find most prevalent in your home? Which one do you think is most flattering to you in terms of your wardrobe? Have you ever had your colours done? Is that something you'd be interested in doing? 

Well there is a lot of white in the house - doors woodwork etc but I do have green in my kitchen and dining room.  I've also added red accessories in one of the bedrooms.

As for my wardrobe I do have some green in there and some red but I've never had my colours done.  Not something I've ever thought about doing.  I have used a personal shopper in big department stores a couple of times and bought things I would never have looked at if I hadn't been persuaded to try them on.

5. Life would be boring without____________________?

Grandchildren and books to read.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

There's nothing like expecting guests to kick start your spring cleaning.
