********

1. Have you ever been fishing? Did you catch a fish? If so did you keep it or throw it back? If you haven't been fishing is that something you'd like to try?
Just as hunting I hate fishing, I would never try, I don't even like to watch fishermen in their "sport" sitting in a chair, reading newspaper and waiting for a fish and when it's hanging on the hook, they throw it back ! Cruel ! 

Fish out of water, big fish in a small pond, living in a fishbowl, packed in like sardines, this is a fine kettle of fish, plenty of fish in the sea, or cut bait...which fishy phrase most recently applies to some area of your life?
Maybe a goldfish in a bowl ? 

2. What's something you're always fishing for in your purse, wallet, desk, or kitchen junk drawer?
Without any doubt my keys !! in all different places !

3. Your favorite fish tale or movie?
There is nothing coming into my mind. Besides the fact that I like to eat fish (but anonymous fish) I don't think that I ever watched a movie with a fish tale not even with a fish tail. I prefer animals you can pet, like a room tiger ! 

4. Are you sunrise, daylight, twilight or night? Explain why you chose your answer.
Sunrise and daylight lots of light I love sunny days it puts me in a good mood and I am full of energy then. But I also like the evening twilight and nights but only in summer when it is warm and I can  sit outside late evenings when it's dark. 

5. What's the oldest piece of clothing you own and still wear?
I have a hippie blouse from the 70th, and as it is in fashion again, I wear it again and it still fits ! 

6. We've got one more month of (officially) winter here in the Northern hemisphere. Are you feeling the need for a getaway? What's been the best and worst part of your winter so far?
I am more than ready for a getaway, and I don't even care where ! I hate winter but some days are supportable when it is very cold and the sun is shining. I really hate rainy grey days !

7. The Wednesday Hodgepodge lands on National Margarita Day...will you be celebrating? Frozen or on the rocks? Are you a Jimmy Buffet fan? If so, what's your favorite JB tune?

I am sorry I have never heard of a Margarita Day ! Not to remain ignorant I googled and this is what I found out : The National Margarita Day is observed annually on February 22nd. Known to be the most common tequila-based cocktail served in the United States, the margarita is a cocktail that consists of tequila, triple sec and lime or lemon juice. 
Please pay attention not to get a hangover !

8. Insert your own random thought here.
I rake my brain where to go to take some pictures in this rain !

WEEKEND REVIEW FEBRUARY 20

Mr. G's friend from his Whist card playing had invited us to a Chinese restaurant.



Unfortunately we couldn't use the fancy garden seats, it was far too cold. Inside it was very cosy and we spend a nice time together.



I had Peking duck with noodles, Mr. G. Scampis and our friend duck à l'orange. As desert we both had a Dame Blanche (vanilla and chocolate ice with whipped cream) and Chinese donuts. It was all very good.

In the afternoon we went to Toyota. Mr. G.'s car is now 10 years old and starts to get ouchies. We thought before it is getting worse and also to get more money when they take back the old car it was better to sell it now and buy a new one . I had seen a little Kia which belonged to a friend, but then we decided to buy the little Toyota Aigo.



It's just perfect for Mr. G. who only drives very short distances and mostly only in Waterloo. We made an excellent deal, and were both happy about our purchase. Now he has to wait until end March before he gets the new car.

After a few warm days it suddenly became quite cold, too cold for me to go out ! But in the evening Nicole and I went to a theatre play, which was really excellent.



It was performed by hobby actors in a huge room belonging to the city. We got sandwiches, cakes and drinks before it started. The title was : The Trial of Marie Dugan. What I didn't know was that the whole play was as if we would attend a real trial, the actors who were witnesses were sitting amongst us, but we didn't know ! When the judge entered the stage the clerk asked the audience to stand up what we did of course all a little surprised and with laughter. The whole play was made just like a real trial ! I had never attended a trial, so this was my first one and very special  !
