Joyce's post and don’t forget to visit at least your neighbours on the list.
1. We've reached edition number 315 here in the Wednesday
Hodgepodge. So tell us, what were you doing at 3:15 yesterday? Is that typical?
On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being low and 10 being high) what's your energy
level usually like at 3:15 PM?
I was ironing which is not typical every day but when I
do iron it’s usually in the afternoon.
My energy level is probably quite low at that time of the
day although I do often make myself go for a walk in the afternoon.
2. A frisbee, a tantrum, a towel, a party, a punch, or a curveball...which have
you most recently thrown or had thrown at/for you? Elaborate.
The only one that really fits is curveball as in when our
Grandson decided to put in a very early appearance. However his progress has been great.

3. What are three things that would help you right now? Tell us how or why.
I was struggling with this question as I’m fortunate to
be happy with my lot but then I thought willpower. I’d like to lose some weight which would probably
help with the problem I’m having with my knee but I’m not very good at
resisting fattening foods so willpower would be good.
4. Do you think you're strong? Why or why not? What makes you strong?
I do think I’m strong.
I’ve had several challenging situations to deal with during my life and
I’ve managed to rise to the challenge. I’m
not sure what makes me strong – determination I suppose and maybe a streak of
stubbornness?
5. Do you enjoy reading historical fiction? What's your favourite book set
sometime in the past?
Well I consulted my Goodreads site for this. I had 6 books listed as historical fiction
some of which although set in the past were not particularly historical. Of the two that could be considered
historical, both were book club choices which I didn’t particularly enjoy. Of course I have also read some classics
which are also historical but several of these I have read as part of a
challenge rather than for sheer enjoyment.
Anyway I’m choosing The Help as one that I did enjoy and that’s set in
the past.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Phew that last answer was a bit of a waffle! Saying prayers at the moment for my son and
DIL. They are waiting for their
passports to come back from the Home Office – DIL had to renew her visa. They know it’s been approved but they need
the passports by Saturday as they are scheduled to fly to the US to visit DIL’s
family and attend a friend’s wedding!
