HODGEPODGE JUNE 6

1. It's National Cheese Day (June 4)...does anyone not like cheese? What's your favorite? Last thing you ate or made with cheese?

I don't like eating warm food twice a day, so I asked for a cheese plate for supper; because I already had a warm meal for lunch. I don't like to eat warm twice a day. I don't know what cheese it is, but it's good ! My favorite cheese is an Italian Cheese "Fontina" I ate it for the first time when I went with Rick to Italy. We bought a whole Fontina cheese which I cut into portions and freezed them. The cheese lasted at least for  months !

 2. Last time you were instructed to 'say cheese!'? How do you feel about having your picture taken? 

We don't say "cheese", because in all languages I know it wouldn't make a smiley on your face 😒, what we say is "Spaghetiiiiiiiii" which leads to the same result 😁. I'm used to having my photo taken, so I don't care.

3. What's your travel packing strategy? Are you typically a light packer or do you throw in everything but the kitchen sink? When flying do you check a bag or aim for carry on only? 

Years ago I made a list in my computer with everything I need for summer holidays, and when I travel I print it out, and fill in my suitcase the same way it's written on my list. That's easy I only have to pay attention that everything is clean and then I can pack in 5 min my suitcase and leave !

4. What is it about people's cell phone habits that you find most annoying?

 When somebody forgets to switch it off and it rings during a spectacle !

5. What will be your summer mantra/slogan? 

 Difficult to say, I even don't know if we will have summer, until now we still have the same temperatures which change a bit up and down from January on ! Therefore my mantra/slogan would be : summer come ! summer come ! summer come ! Imagine now in June we have 12°C !

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

For the moment I am thinking  that I would like to travel to a country full of sunshine, where it rarely rains, to a hotel with a SPA and soak up the sun to feel better and stronger. But I hesitate, although there is no reason. I would use the assistance service for seniors, who would take care of everything and I wouldn't have to walk much. If it would be warmer, I would have our beautiful park here, then I would go in  autumn. These thoughts are turning around in my head ! I would go alone anyway, because at the moment I don't know anyone who can help me on the right path to start a new life.
