How well do you know me?

Today I received one of those get-to-know-your-friends emails. My friend had mailed her answers to about 50 questions. I thought it would make a great post (not her answers, mine) then I had a better idea......

you try answering! Some will be impossible so be creative.

1. What time did I get up this morning? 7.30

2. Diamonds or pearls? If I have to choose out of these, pearls. But I love turqouise (well done Leah!) lapis lazuli and marcasite

3. What is the last film I saw at the cinema? Cinnamon was right, I saw Role models with the kids.

4. My favourite TV show? It's hard to say but probably House

5. What do I usually have for breakfast? Coffee. I'm a terrible breakfast eater, I might have raisin toast, yoghurt, fruit or muesli. Sometimes I pick up an apricot danish on the way to work or I have porridge with yoghurt at morning tea time.

6. My middle name? Sonja

7. What food do I dislike? I'm not a great eater of meat, very picky.

8. What kind of car do I drive? Silver Peugeot Familiale with 8 seats.

9. Favourite sandwich? Chicken, lettuce, avocado and mayo. Lots of pepper.

10. Favourite piece of clothing? The intuitive answer is jeans with a flattering bum and bootleg, but do I really have to choose?

11. What is my favourite CD at the moment? I don't go well at choosing favourite music. Yesterday at work I chose Vivaldi oboe concertos and loved it, then Graceland. Wonderful.

12. What characteristic do I despise? Hmmmm. I try not to despise anything but I don't go well with arrogance, with whinging, or with judgemental people (otherwise known as intolerance, who said that? you're right)

13. If I could holiday anywhere in the world, where would it be? The US was never on my list but these days, with so many good buddies there....NYC, Seattle, Sacramento..... but I would also love to go to Africa, parts of Europe and see more of Australia. Don't want much, do I?

14. Where would I retire to? Sydney

15. Favourite brand of clothing? It's not about the brand, it is about the item. There are designers I prefer when I look at their designs but right now I can't think which.

Now it's over to you but if you like it I'll give you some more questions tomorrow.

    If I could holiday anywhere in the world, where would it be? Brooklyn? No?
    Where would I retire to? somewhere right by the ocean.
    Favourite brand of clothing? I don't see you as someone who is too hung up on brand names, and thank goodness for that.

    Your bra because you hate to see um hangin'.

    I'm not sure, but I think something choral or gospel. Maybe piano. Hummmmmmm. With kids, perhaps rock. Here, why don't you tell me what your favorite CD is. Actually, I think it's classical.

    California.

    I can't imagine you have a favorite brand. You don't seem like that sort of fashion snob.

    Okay, so that's it. I didn't read the other comments so have to go back and see how accurate I am!!! I'm accurate. Right? Okay, I'm close. Right?

    Love you ~ what fun! Can hardly wait for tomorrow's intallment.
