List some of your favorites types of teas.

Being a Brit, I was naturally surrounded by family members that were convinced without tea there would be no reason to enjoy life. I never liked tea which mum could not understand. She was convinced I was the cuckoo’s egg in the nest because I preferred coffee. However, it came to pass that about 15 years ago coffee decided it did not like me. I had digestive problems, not wanting to go into details, so I had to drink tea. I did not want any tea, but my taste being somewhat special, I decided upon Twinings – you could not get more British, after all. I begin the day with a cup of English breakfast and after dinner and the evening meal, I drink the lighter Lady Grey. I even ordered the special little metal boxes from the British shop to do it in style. And don’t tell me about Earl Grey, I do not like it.

What are a couple of things could people do for you on a really bad day that would really help you?

Clean the bathroom, tidy up the garden, clean the windows, cook lunch, clean the shower, iron the linen. Not too much asked, I would shop on my own. Just pick me up afterwards with the car.

If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be?

Irregardless of your physical fitness, coordination or agility: If you could be an athlete what would you do?

Quidditch where did I park my broomstick?

What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

No. 2 son paid us a visit last week which is always interesting. No. 1 son returned from a two week holiday in Italy. Otherwise everything under control, quiet and no excitement, just how I like it. And I am looking forward to going to the doctor tomorrow morning to having my wax production system in my ears being removed. I must say it has its advantages only hearing 10%, but when I cannot hear my own voice, it can get annoying.
