Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
…every aspect of a person makes them unique…we are like a snowflake, not one is the same ❄️
Our ability to think outside of what we are taught makes us individually unique, which can make us look and behave beyond the “norm”
What makes you laugh?
…funny people and characters from brilliant writing make me laugh…Ab Fab, Only Fools & Horses, Bridesmaids, The IT Crowd, Car Share…novelists Marian Keyes and Jojo Moyes…my office work bestie who turns a difficult day like being entertained by Victoria Wood…my big Sister’s infectious humour and my Son’s intellectual honesty with a hint of sarcasm (no idea where they get sarcasm from 😇)
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
…what I would want to be when I grew up…I do remember wanting to wear a uniformed dress to school which no one else did or was required to (unique 😂)…loved being outside (as I still do)…loved making art (as I still do also) …a little later I did don a leotard and practiced ballet moves in our kitchen to the embarrassment of my Sister…maybe I was more in the moment at that age not thinking about being grown up…how lovely! 🩰
What’s something most people don’t understand?
… seems to come naturally for a select few, or requires a LOT of work, sometimes continuous work…for others I’m not sure they will ever be graced by self awareness.
Like most opinions, you can only answer by your perceptions, doesn’t mean it’s right or true for everyone…as how on earth could we possibly dictate what the value of “most” people factually is!?
So my answer is from my small, select group of people I have observed in my life.
Self awareness to me is very important to free myself from misconceptions, judgements and be simply kinder 🌺
How has technology changed your job?
….my job would not exist without producing spreadsheets and analysis….or I would be manually writing in huge ledgers using pens and calculators and drawing graphs with rulers and stencils …actually I could be much more creative the old way hey 😂

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
…”no” does not come naturally to me…my natural tendency is to do what is asked of me. However, I am aware I am a mixed bag as I also push against conformity particularly in my personal life! The “no” bit isn’t always clear though, I have, at times, done my thing without the words…I have certainly got better at providing clarity with maturity (or is it cantankerous behaviour 😉).
Saying no with a smile seems to give a warm balance! (Unless you’re The Joker 🤡…😳)…
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
…I wish I had the skills to be a travel writer…if only I had the self confidence (or boldness to try anyway) when I was studying….you never know, maybe one day (is 51 too late to start 🤔!? Nah Ha ha) 💐
What is your favorite type of weather?
…I absolutely love a Spring morning when the sun feels warm for the first time following a long, dark Winter 🌼
I also miss snow like we experienced when I was a child, remembering how it would reach all the way up to my knees ❄️
Though the magic of Autumn putting Summer to sleep is stunning when you can wrap up against fresh breezes but still feel the sun on your face 🍁
Long Summer evenings with a beautiful stillness and stars is also top of my list…🌞💫…think I’m easily pleased 😌
