Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to I'm surprised by what thought pops into my mind when I first see the daily prompt. Today was Shakespeare and his Seven Ages of Man. It is part of the most famous speech in 'As You Like It'. It begins, 'All the world's a stage, and all…

If you could be someone else for a day who would you be, and why? Who would I be? Would I change my gender, age or status? Would I travel back in time and become one of the historical figures I admire? Would I become a famous star of stage and screen? Or would I prefer to be exactly who I am? Yes,…

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. I don't do DIY. It doesn't interest me and if I can get someone else to carry out DIY for me - so much the better. In the past, I have dabbled with DIY, out of necessity rather than choice. I've painted walls, and upcycled a few small…

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? I love language, and today's prompt got me thinking - probably too much! There are many words that set my teeth on edge but how to select just one? Jargon - When I was a consultant, the amount of jargon that would…

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? I am neither a fortune teller, a clairvoyant or a soothsayer. I have no idea what the biggest challenge I will face in the next six months will be, and I prefer it that way. We all face challenges in life, some small, others…

What advice would you give to your teenage self? When I read today's prompt I had a feeling that I had responded to this prompt already. WordPress informed me that I hadn't. Then I realised that I had written a post in 2023 responding to the daily prompt, entitled, What would you tell your…

What bores you? I struggled with this prompt at first because I don't get bored. There's always something to keep me occupied and interested. I remember being bored as a child or a teenager, but not as I grew older. I never had enough time to be bored! However, if I think about the prompt more…

Who are your favourite people to be around? The most obvious and honest answer is my family and friends. I consider myself fortunate because I have a great relationship with my brother and sister, and we see each other often. Of course, the saying goes that you can't choose your family; friends…

Write about your approach to budgeting I have budgeted and been careful about money from an early age. I received weekly pocket money from my parents, but once I was old enough to get a part-time job, I did. My first paid employment was having a paper round. I grew up in a village, so there…

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? What does 'patriotic' mean? It's a word that is open to interpretation. Time to turn to the dictionary! The Oxford Dictionary states, 'having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.' I am patriotic when it comes to…

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law? My friends tease me because I follow the rules. I'm not sure that rules equate with laws. As a school student, I used to flaunt the uniform rules - wear my skirt shorter than was permitted and wear make-up, but I always did my homework! I'm sure I've…

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I'm not going to write about changing laws. Given the current state of the world, I wouldn't even know where to start. Does the question refer to the country in which we vote? I don't know, but my blog is my happy place, and I…

Write about your dream home. There is a difference between an ideal home and a dream home. An ideal home needs to be practical, while a dream home has an element of fantasy. My dream home would be on the coast, with sea views. The beach would be within walking distance, but the house wouldn't be…
