I knew or could have predicted many of those answers but your response to the favourite song question greatly surprised me. What are you going to do when you get invited on to Desert Island Discs!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail (favourite song: Schubert's An die Musik).
that was interesting!!! I'Äm with you for the soup... it is like a fireplace it can warm our tummy our heart and our soul (but please without meat of course lol)
ReplyDeleteHello Yam, great answers. We have some similar like the perfumes and shopping. I do love soup too. I have watched some fun movies with dogs. Thanks for sharing. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting! Some things I'd have known, your Js not so much! I clicked on that link, and forgot all the things you listed above. My brain is fudgey! But we have a new furnace. It's warm, again.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on music, etc., as you cannot pick one thing, or one blog buddy. There is so much variety.
Good luck with your heater. xx
I always enjoy meme's like this one where I get to to learn more about you!
