Tagging


I don't understand much of tagging, meme etc. but this time I've been tagged not by one but by two lovely ladies and I couldn't possibli ignore them. A Modern Mother and notSupermum, sorry for my delay but thank you for tagging me. Here are my answers:


What are your current obsessions?
My current main obsession is blogging!!! And with blogging I do not mean writing in my blog (that I find rather time-consuming due linguistic issues!) but reading other blogger’s journals, your journals. It has become an addiction. First thing in the morning just while having breakfast I read about you and your lives, I laugh with you, cry with you and learn from you. And not because I’m a “Billy-no-mates” (I’m NOT!!!), but because I’ve been very lucky to find a circle of great people who are so interesting that I cannot live without anymore. Thank you, folks!

What's for dinner tonight?
Chicken fajetas, rice and salad. Fruit salad with ice-cream (Teenage son is working at the fish&chips shop tonight (someone has to get the money in when I’m blogging!) so we can indulge in salads!!!

What's the last thing you bought?
My new car (nothing glamorous, but new and with power steering!) which won’t be ready until the beginning of July and I haven’ paid yet!

What are you currently listening to?
My second current obsession, Coldplay, with Viva La Vida live from their free album LeftRightLeftRightLeft, that you can download here http://www.coldplay.com/ should you be interested.

What are your favourite holiday spots?
Venice, Italy – Carcassonne, France and Barcelona, Spain. I'd love to visit Australia and New Zealand though.

What are you reading now?
I’m almost at the end of The Winner Stand Alone by Paulo Coelho. Quite interesting but not as exciting as I hoped. I love reading but I don’t have much time for it…

Use 4 words to describe yourself?
Emotional, friendly, faithful, overworked.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Decaf Soya Latte (Starbucks) with biscotti (almond biscuits)!

What is your favourite film?
I adore movies, but my favourite of all is actually a TV series, the BBC’s Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

What part of your body you like the most? [this is my new question]
My hands. They are still white (well, pinkish) and soft and I have long and nice fingernails.

What do you fear the most?
Surviving my children.

What's on your bedside table?
A pile of unread books. My watch. My baby daughter’s photo. My nephew’s photo (he died 4 years ago aged 15 but he will always be in my heart), a pen and a bar of Galaxy :)).

What's the best thing you ate or drank recently?
A lovely cocktail called “Sex on the Beach”. Wishful thinking, I guess!

What would you like to be when you grow up?
I’d like to become an astronaut. I love the Moon and I wish I could see it a bit nearer!

The "rules" are as follows. Respond and rework. Answer questions on your own blog. Replace one question. Add one question. Tag 8 people.

I'm tagging :









Dear Ladies, apologies if you've been tagged before and if you don't feel like doing it or you don't have the time, dont' worry I won't be offended....Ciao a tutti!

Thanks for thinking of me. I'll have to give it some thought. Doing a few meme's is a nice way to get to know blogger friends.

Have a good weekend!!

That's such a fun tag, and a great way to know you a bit better. I loved BBC's Pride and Prejudice too! Someone lent me a disk so we could watch it, and I'm still looking to get my own copy. Wasn't Colin Firth just perfect for the role of Mr Darcy?

I catch up on my blog reading early in the morning with my coffee to hand and while the boys (all 3) are still asleep - a great way to start to the day. But I have to disagree on Pride and Prejudice - the film beats the TV series for me!!!!

Dear A.,
I've just read this post of yours about tagging and ...it's a nice idea, I think. I promise I'll try to work on it in the afternoon or later this evening. I must hurry to work now. A great morning to you and ... thanks for tagging me!

Erica said...

I used to love sex on the beach, more of a strawberry daquiri girl now :)

Beth said...

I enjoyed reading your answers!

La Belette Rouge said...

I love that Pride and Prejudice. I think you have inspired a rewatching of it this evening. Forever more Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy for me. No one else should be allowed to play that role.;-)Fun meme. Love your answers.
Happy weekend!xoxo

Thanks for tagging me. I'll do some of my answers here. I am reading a wonderful book, Sonata for Miriam, by Linda Olsson, although her previous book Astrid and Veronika was even better. I like my eyes and my lips. I fear one of my daughters will stumble, hard. Favorite thing to call someone: sweetie.

Enjoy your vacation in Cornwall.
