Meme virgin no more!

Freshtea tagged me for a meme - and I'm gonna do it!

What is your obsession?

Finishing my DK Smoothie Cardi!!! Oh, and peanut M&Ms.

What is your weirdest obsession?

Groping in clothes stores - I CANNOT go through a shop without feeling the fabrics of all the clothes!

What are you wearing today?

A Country Road dark blue-black trouser suit and patent black high heels.

What's for dinner?

Chilli Beans, brown rice and rocket.

What did you eat for your last meal?

Tom Yum Soup - from a Trident packet and it was way too full of MSG.

What was the last thing you bought?

Yates Garden Guide - first published in 1895!!!!!

What are you listening to right now?

I was listening to MOS 2004 Annual Anthems while running tonight.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?

I'm torn between: 

a) a small, dark Parisian cafe, eating simple beef stew and drinking a busty, bottle of Burgundy red (maybe not the whole bottle in the hour!); or 

b) a wee, churros con chocolate stand in Barcelona early morning, standing around with all the workman eating hot, greasy donuts and drinking thick hot chocolate!!

What language do you want to learn?

Italian - then I could have figured out what ALL those desserts were.

What do you love most about where you currently live?

Seeing the long, big ridge of the Waitakere Ranges everyday.

What is your favourite colour?

Mustard, grey and purple right now. but it could change tomorrow. 

What is your favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

My Nine West spotty cape, my high-waisted black Moochie pants and my Friday Market floral apron skirt with deer pockets.

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Running the Domestic Violence and CYPF teams in one of the Family Courts.

Describe your personal style?

It's a multiple personality - I can go from a Suit, to Sporty-Spice, to a boho chic, to gumboots and trackies in a flash.

If you had $100, what would you spend it on?

A piece of ceramic art - something kooky for this small space above some french doors I look at each night.

What are you going to do after this?

A few rows of the cardi of course. and maybe raid the pantry for something sweet.

What are your favourite films?

I could never answer this quickly - I love films - but if I try hard - Little Miss Sunshine, Shawshank Redemption, Pretty Woman, Momento and Dirty Dancing have lifetime memberships.

What inspires you?

texture, pattern, form, images - visual stimulation!

What are your favourite books?

The Yates Garden Guide. And this Portuguese cookbook that just had to come home as well.

Do you collect anything?

Matchboxes, fabrics, cookbooks, shoes, handbags....

What makes you follow a blog?

Actually knowing the person or great photos.

What's the most enjoyable thing you did today?

Ran home from the gym tonight non-stop, after an Abs class without any back pain. so far.

What new skill would you like to learn?

Concreting.

And since I don't usually follow the rules I won't tag anyone but if you want to, why not answer one of the questions in the comments.
