I'm sorry I've been MIA the last two days...no excuses..just needed some 'time'. But today is Friday and it's a good day isn't it. So I decided to do a fun posting using one of the questionnaires floating around out there on the web. I hope it entertains you today..it did me whilst I was doing it. lol.

So here's to a great start to the weekend folks..and happier times.


What is your favourite flavor of ice cream?

Vegan ice cream!...lol..OK A good chocolate ice cream with fresh raspberries on the side (or all over the scoop of ice cream..lol) Or a coconut-based ice cream is nice..

What was the last thing you ate?

An apple

What CD is in your CD player right now?

OTEP  or Nickelback ~ Dark Horse Album...depends which room I'm in..lol

How many keys are on your key ring?
3
How much money do you have in your wallet?

A twenty and change

List two bad habits that you have.

Channel skipper...drive myself and others nuts..lol Especially the music channels

Nailbiter when stressed..and hate it.

What's your birthstone? Would you change it?

Diamond. And heck yes I would. I would love it to be the garnet...or deepest red ruby...or peridot.

If you had one day to live, what would you do?

Invite everyone I love to a fabulous beach picnic...and then spend the day with them all..watching the waves and walking in the surf...playing beach games and listening to good music..until I wasn't there anymore...
Do you know what your name means?

Red is the colour of blood and of strawberries.[3] It is next to orange at the end of the visible spectrum of light. Red is commonly associated with danger, passion, love, anger, socialism, and in China and many other cultures, with happiness 

Sorry being a smartass..it's Friday it's allowed. lol But yes I do know what my real name means and it's quite a lovely meaning too.

Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes?

Yes. Life Lessons by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kesler. It had quite a profound effect on me. It opened me up to the bigger picture of life. It's hard to define it on a questionnaire like this but I would suggest to anyone who is lost in illness or life...I'll keep my copy forever.

Favourite song right now?

The most excellent Beth Hart ~ Like You Have a listen for yourself. I am slightly addicted to her right now..but this lyric is very close to my heart right now. Have to say that my favourite song changes hour to hour..but this has held my heart for a couple of days now..lol.

What would you do if you had a million pounds?

Pay off debts..no doubt pay off loved ones debts too..then go on a very long holiday whilst I thought about what I would do next...or maybe just take off and travel the world like I have always dreamt of doing. Every country on the planet and then I would work out what I would do next...lol. But a million really doesn't go that far these days eh? lol

Are you good at Chess?

lmao..erm..no! To quote me everytime I have played it...."This is a stupid game...Uffff!" My patience control isn't that great. lol.

Would you rather be rich or healthy?

Stupid question...healthy..then I could work on being rich!

Would you rather have the power to be invisible or the power to read minds?

People around me would argue I can already read minds and it freaks them out..lol. But definitely invisibility. *evil chuckle* Oh the fun..
Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

All my closets are in another room..and they are usually open..lol.

Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?

Used to and then would put them in a large glass container in the bathroom to be used by people staying over etc. But don't stay in that many hotels now and besides they aren't vegan products eh? So don't anymore...
Have you ever peed in the woods?

Ewwww...what a question! lol. But I would say no..but have a very vague memory of doing so as a small child...lol. So would have to say...not sure.

What is your current favourite piece of Art?

The Evening Gown (1954)
Rene Magritte
Like my favourite song..my favourite piece of art changes hourly. But today it is the piece above. Can't tell you why really..but it had quite an emotional impact on me..loved it.

What is your usual bedtime?

Erm..tricky one to answer really. I don't really have one. Anywhere from 10 pm - 2 am...

Do you have a favourite tattoo design?



The beautiful Lotus would be fire red
as that's one of my favourite flowers.
Again as with the song and art..my passion for tattoos are great so I find new ones each day that take my breath away. But this one I find especially appealing as I love the Fire Lotus and the symbolic meaning behind it. So my lotus colour would indeed be fire red.

Sainsbury's, Asda or Tesco?

A bit from anywhere I can buy my 'weird' foods lol. So not just only the supermarkets..use your local health food store folks!

If you were cooking for someone today, what would you cook?

Found a lovely recipe for Cashew Cheese and Kale Enchiladas Rojas on Pinterest this week and it looked so delicious. I would love to try it...

What's your favorite color?

Arghhh..well blood red...garnet red..then deep purple..olive green..and black. lol.

Did you enjoy answering these questions?

It wasn't the worst way to pass an hour..lol. Quite good fun..

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your Friday is an excellent one folks...

Today's blog posting is brought to you by a jumble of random awesome images I have found on my daily internet visits..I often just save images and hope to use them in my writing as inspiration or on here. I was looking through the most recent ones this morning and thought it a shame, that they were sat in a file looking forgotten...lol. So here they are....

First up is a very beautiful cake..and obviously I would make a veganised version..but I thought it very peaceful and could picture myself sat in one of the chairs...

Beach Cake
Next up is a message..one that I would like to pass on to the little ones in my life..obviously when they are old enough to actually take its meaning in..I think them very wise words indeed..

Wise words, eh?
I found this very ring via Pinterest...as you know I have a 'mermaid thing'..so for me this is perfect..

Love it...so much..lol
Next..I read this quote and it rang a bell inside me regarding my health recovery...so...

Have I mentioned I'm stubborn??? lol
When I found the next image I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of doing this before!Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most brilliant..don't you think?

Frozen Fruit Skewers - just add champagne!
Always a good time to have champagne right? lol
Next up is a great shot of some feet..lol But its not the feet so much as what the feet and ankles are wearing..lol. I love ankle bracelets and toe rings..so I smiled a lot when I first saw this image...

Pretty..huh?
Up next is a quote which I feel very strongly about..to me trust is something precious..and for me..once it's broken there is no going back...so...

Please????
I recently found a new music love...the very talented and very awesome Miss Tina Dico..she is a singer-songwriter from Denmark and her studio recordings don't even compare to her live performances. Amazing. So here is a link to one of my favourite songs...please take the time to watch it? She's worth the effort...

Tina Dico ~ Let's Get Lost Live

These horses are magical..I would love to know where they are situated. I picture my pal J and I visiting and taking many photos with these lovely haunting sculpture horses..

Haunting..alive..awesome..fantastic work..
When I first saw this necklace I loved it..I love the whole meaning that comes with it. It's maybe a little fancy..oh heck..no it isn't, I love it just as it is..lol What do you think??

Not too shabby huh? I love symbolic jewellery..and I love keys..so it's a twofer lol

Well it wouldn't be me if I didn't have a tattoo in here somewhere eh? lol When I found this image I was bowled over by it..just need it now! lol One day when I am much better..but one day!

Awesome eh? lol
And last but by no means least...and I always like to end these kind of posts with a smile or a giggle..is this quote..it made me laugh out loud..

Smart cookie that Opportunist eh? lol
As ever thanks for stopping by..and I hope that your Tuesday is a splendid one...
