Questions

1. WHAT WHERE YOU DOING TEN YEARS AGO

I was still Senior Cook at a girls boarding school. 

2. WHAT ARE 5 THINGS ON MY TO-DO  LIST TODAY

1.  I have vacuumed and wet wiped the interior of the car after Bryan washed it but still need to do inside the windows.

2.  Send and e-mail reply to my son to thank him for the photos of my granchildren.

3.  Phone my sister.

4.  Phone my daughter.

5.  Prepare the evening meal.

3. SNACKS I ENJOY

Fresh bread and butter with a glass of milk.  Fresh fruit or sunflower seeds.

4. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?

I would buy land and set up ammenities and facilities for inner city children who never get to see the countryside or the seaside. 

I would build homes for the homeless alongside small industries where they could re-train for a job in industry  or make known items which would sell for a profit.

I would grant & fund cancer research.

I would also help the RSPCA

I would set up aand build new orphanages in Romania with central heating and with comfortable living quarters.

I would train up nurses and acquire doctors to teach those carers in the orphanages of Rumania and elsewhere how to empathise and care for the children in their charges whilst encouraging them to play and learn outside the buildings and not leave them in their cots until their legs atrophy.

I would pay for more staff so that they could give these children and young adults quality time and tutition to possibly become self sufficient in flats of their own and possibly do some kind of work for a living.

I would provide all Africans who are suffering from Aids with the medication with which they need to stave off the onset of full blown aids. 

I would also fund Children in Need

5. BAD HABITS

Sitting at my computer too long.   Lol! 

Nagging my daughter to go slow when she drives my car with me in it.   Lol!

Quote for today..

"Champions do not become champions when they win the
event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they
spend preparing for it. The victorious performance
itself is merely the demonstration of their
championship character."
