Right TF has a hangover and is feeling a tad 'icky this morning.
Words are not flowing. However, I'm willing to answer any questions that you post here in the comments box.
So off you go.
(I'm now going to have a lie down in a dark room to rest my pondering head. I'll be back refreshed soon to see what questions you have penned for me)
TFx
Why is there a dead sparrow suspended from nothing outside my bedroom window (and you could send someone round with a stick)?
Two questions in one there. Don't say you don't get your money's worth from me.
Ugh. Sorry for the hangover. Have drink, that'll sort you out...
Oh, a dead sparrow - hanging aimlessly in mid-air. You must retrieve that sparrow with say a fishing net and give him/her a decent funeral.
But first take some photos! For when opportunity knocks let him in :0
Aawh, poor you x
Have some love and sympathy from your auntie xx
Who sometimes has been known to have the 3rd glass xxx
And pays for it the following day xxxx
Beer & wine is just fine.....
Wine & beer makes you feel queer.
Moral of the story: Do not drink beer after wine! :O
Is purple your favorite colour?
How are the green legs?
I'm rather attracted to the colour purple apparently it's the color of good judgment, good for those seeking spiritual fulfillment if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple has been used to symbolize magic and mystery. Purple is the color most favored by artists.
Now as for the green legs they have turned a light shade of brown :)
Do you believe in ghosts?
I'm feeling a tad yucky too! Wine's not agreeing with me - need to give it up me thinks! Hope you feel better soon! x
Do I believe in ghosts? Good question AB, that's the spirit! :)
As a kid I truly believed a ghost lived under my bed. I was always very reluctant to venture upstairs to my bedroom by myself and would have to look under the bed before falling to sleep.
I'm not a great lover of spirts say like Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, Port ;-)
Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
Q. If Mr Dylan wandered into your kitchen...
1)what would you ask him?
2)what would you feed him?
Are you feeling better now? No, no that's not my question question.
My question question is, if you had to move to another country where would you go and why? (Is that 2 questions? Oops, that's another question. Gawd, I'd better go ...)
Feeling semi normal, thanks :)
Good questions Ms Lane,
I may ask him if he is anyway disappointed by present day musicians for not taking more of a political stance in their music / lyrics. But he might just answer yes or no.
So I'm afraid my question would be rather arty farty. He has quoted that "Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn't work" I would like to question, probe and discuss that quote further with him.
Food, I'm not a great cook :O, so for a bit of fun I would ask him to join forces with me and bake a cake. I'll read out the recipe instructions from a cookery book and he could do the practical tasks, like cracking eggs, mixing etc. It would be interested to see what we created together :)
Clarkey, Oh, another good question :) Yes, I'd leave this country tomorrow without any hesitation as I'm cheesed off with the negativity that underlines this country at the moment both in the workplace and politically. I do tend to get restless, so I'd like to be able to travel around Europe in say a camper-van with just enough money in my pocket, sufficient food in my belly and with my camera. A simple life :)
Hubby banned purple because he'd heard it was linked to suicidal tendencies (get them anyway, pueple or no bloody purple).
Anyway my question. One of my best friends is a white witch. If she offered to cast a spell for you what would it be? (she's very into purple).
A purple patch is not all it's cracked up to be is it? Now please try to banish those thoughts from your mind m'dear (not always so easy, I know)
A white Witch how interesting. My wish is that I;m granted the talent to make my living out of being creative in an uplifting way.
Sigh.... Meanwhile back in the real world... Good question though :)
I suspect you are feeling better now. Sorry I wasn't available to tax your hung-over brain. (grin) I have a question, but it's shouldn't be taxing. You seem to do a lot of reading, so I was just wondering, could you recommend a book for me?
Dar, The Bible! ;-) TFx
I read it once; is there an updated version? :)
God Knows! ;-)
