December meme, Days 1 to 9
Oh my goodness, it's almost mid-December and I suddenly realised I have once again failed to post for the meme since the end of November. So once again, behind a cut to save your flists.
1. How old were you when you got your first car?
Not until I was 28. We didn't need one before that. If we needed to transport things we hired a van. If we needed to travel we used the train or the bus. But when I was 28 DJ got a job that needed a car, so...
2. What is a topic you are uncomfortable with discussing with most people?
Most people are people I don't know very well, so anything personal, really *g*
3. What was the longest you stayed in your own home for?
I don't know. These days I go out most days, for an aimless walk if not with a purpose. In the past I was working and weekends were when I did everything else. I suppose 36 hours would cover not going out at all for one day. I really doubt that I've ever gone two.
4. What is the best positive change you’ve made recently?
I've been doing some home decorating and it looks good.
5. Have you ever inherited something?
Not much. We are not a family that really owned much until my parents' generation, but I do have a couple of small pieces of jewellery that belonged to a great aunt who had a little more money, having never married, so worked throughout her life.
6. If you have a partner, have you ever had to sleep in separate beds?
No, we never did.
7. What is something you are sceptical about?
I try to maintain a questioning attitude, generally, although that is not the same as believing in nothing. But I can't think of anything in particular I am 'sceptical' about. If I want to know more I do research. If the evidence doesn't exist yet, I wait.
8. What is an unusual item you or somebody you know owns?
I used to know someone who owned a hot air balloon, does that count? I never had a chance to go up in it, unfortunately.
9. Does it bother you if someone practically bathes in perfume?
Oh goodness, yes. That makes my eyes sting and I end up sneezing.
