6. What is your ultimate guilty pleasure?
1. What makes you happy?
Friday afternoon coffee with my girlfriends and long boozy lunches with my husband. I also like long boozy lunches with my girlfriends and morning coffee with my husband. Christmas is pretty fun too. Of course I don’t mind baby’s giggles, puppies and unexpected windfalls either.
2. Why did you start blogging?
2. Why did you start blogging?
I wrote some whinging stories about my teenagers and I wanted to make them public so I’d garner some sympathy. It didn’t really work as many readers suggested it just made me look like a despicable mother.
3. What is best thing anyone has ever said about your blog?
3. What is best thing anyone has ever said about your blog?
A few people have said some lovely things but Jo Castro told me ‘Pinky’ is a disarming character and I really liked that. I think she meant disarming as in ‘enchanting’, not that she just wanted to put down her gun and walk away. I hope so anyway.
4. What is one piece of advice you would offer or one saying you live by?
4. What is one piece of advice you would offer or one saying you live by?
Don’t pick it or it will never get better. That goes for all sorts of things. (I just made that up off the top of my head but it’s pretty good actually, don’t you think?)
5. What are your top three bucket list items?
5. What are your top three bucket list items?
To go to the Oscars, to win a Pulitzer prize and to own a meerkat. If I had a meerkat I would take it with me everywhere in my handbag and call it Timon.
(I researched it and you can* keep meerkats as pets but they have smelly anal glands, which really won't make too much difference to the atmosphere in our household in the long run.)
* South Africa only.
6. What is your ultimate guilty pleasure?
Eating an entire loaf of garlic bread instead of a proper dinner (like I did last night). I do like three teaspoons of sugar in my tea as well.
7. What is one product or service you cannot live without?
7. What is one product or service you cannot live without?
Revlon (extra multi-purpose strength).
8. What is your favorite Australian travel destination?
8. What is your favorite Australian travel destination?
Sydney. It has shopping, history, pubs, restaurants, beaches and a lot of weird people to stare at. Lots of people walk around talking to themselves in Sydney which can be amusing if you're careful not to make eye contact with them.
9. What two countries make you the happiest to visit?
9. What two countries make you the happiest to visit?
I’ve been to England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, France, Belgium, China, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United States and I enjoyed them all. Nothing beats Australia though. I literally hug trees when I get back to Australia.
10. What is your dream destination?
10. What is your dream destination?
One of those luxury huts over the water in Bora Bora. I’d have a manservant and a woman-servant, a cook and a chauffeur. I’d like glass floors so I could see the fish swimming around and a connecting room for my meerkat.
I would like to nominate these people for a Liebster Award.
