For your blog do you basically use Windows or Mac, laptop, desktop, pad, or phone?
I’m basically a Windows user. I prefer to flesh out my post in Word and get my pictures organised and then upload to WordPress. I have to admit the removal of the Word uplift tool from the toolbar is a pain in the keester and has made life difficult. Like all “improvement” there are sometimes downsides, and I seriously wish they would reconsider putting the function back which they have stated they most definitely will not.
OK, rant finished and the answer was…..Windows – and presently, on my laptop.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Even as a youngster (don’t you love that antiquated word), I wanted to help people. I remember watching “The Nun’s Story” (Deborah Kerr and Peter Finch), with my mother. So from then on I wanted to be a Nun.
So it’s a long stretch to becoming a Police Officer….. I still wanted to help, but THAT is another story. 🙂

Did you grow up in a small or big town? Did you like it?
I guess I grew up in a small town….. at least it was back then. As a child it seemed plenty big enough for a geographically challenged person.
We lived almost on the outskirts of town, a few minutes and we were on the Moors, and I loved that. I always preferred the solitude of nature and my own thoughts.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Shoot, age is just a number and I have a lot of trouble remembering how old I am. In fact I had a semi disagreement with someone recently over this. They told me how old I was and I said I wasn’t! They were right too, but that’s not how I define myself.
Chronologically I’d like to be 35 again. I was fabulously fit and able to do anything. The only thing about that which I would change is…. being able to be with the person I love. After I’ve beaten this health sucker I will be fabulously me, wiser and able to do anything. How fit I can get depends on….. fitting what I decide I need into my schedule. Age is just a number and I don’t care about it.
Susan, happy, smiling, fit and healthy
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I may be repeating myself but I’m grateful for the house we found and are moving to. In the week to come… oh boy, we have so much packing to do and I’m feeling the pain already. So I’m looking forward to knocking as much of that on the head so I can have a day to collapse and recuperate before the big day arrives.
I’ve managed to do so much more than I anticipated and that has been something to really be grateful for. There is so much pleasure in knowing you have been useful and productive. It’s been a while since I was able to say that. It has given me more hope for the future I am going to have than I have been able to simply envisage for a long time. “Ask, Believe, Receive”. –Mark 11:24 and of course – LOA, Abraham – Hicks
