Wednesday Hodgepodge - 28/5/25

Joyce asks the questions, we provide the answers and we all join in the fun here.

1. What's your favourite room in your house and why? 

I'd have to say my dining room.  It's not huge but it's where we eat (obviously) but also work /play on our laptops which really should be called table tops.  It's open to the kitchen so you can chat with the cook (Hubby) and has doors into the living room so it's pretty much the hub of the house.  Plus you can see into the garden and watch the birds.  It's where I am right now.

2. What's something that will instantly annoy you? 

People calling me "Wend" especially those that don't know me that well.  I have NEVER said "my name is Wendy but you can call me Wend".  I'm not particularly fond of my name but I really hate it being shortened.  Even my Mum used to do it.  Thankfully the one person who has never done it is my Hubby.  Ironically he is Nicholas but we all call him Nick (which is how he introduces himself) although if his Mum called him Nicholas he knew he was probably in trouble lol.

3. May 28th is National Hamburger Day...will you celebrate? How do you like yours? If you're not cooking at home is there a favourite place you like to go for a burger? Did you ever work in a fast food  restaurant? 

No I will not celebrate but I will have a burger occasionally when we eat out - particularly at a pub.  I like it cooked through  but not overdone.  I've never worked in a fast food restaurant or wanted to.

4. What are three scents you like? 

The perfume I wear (Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana)

Lavender

Coffee (even though I don't drink it!)

I was also going to add babies - that unique smell of a newborn baby but so often babies often smell of what's in their nappy (diaper) lol.

5. What do you miss most about being a kid? 

Not much really.  I guess the freedom from responsibility was quite nice.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I'm looking forward to starting a new knitting project and I love being able to order things online - waiting on delivery of a yarn winder - I have skeins of yarn that need winding for both the next two projects and I don't think Hubby will want to sit holding them for me and I couldn't find anything in the house that I could improvise with.  And who doesn't love a new toy?

I also ordered a bracelet style strap for my Fitbit for when I wear it going out - wish I'd thought of it before last Saturday's wedding but at least I'll have it for the wedding we're going to next month.

I also found some diffuser oil refill.  I'm all about reusing, refilling recycling etc when I can.

Enjoy the rest of the week all.
