debris4spikeWell, let me start by saying the chest infection is doing OK ... much better than it was - Yay, good news.
However I work up Wednesday with a raging sore throat - Boo, bad news!
So the last couple of days I have slept, and rested, and drunk lots of water and eaten fruit ... so I am slowly getting better, but still getting tired easily.
So frustrating.
So it really is a case of a quick catch up with the questions ... and then off to rest more. So, sorry I haven't been around, and won't be until the beginning of next week.
So -
6. Do you sit at a dining table when you eat a meal at home?
Dinner, always.
Breakfast & tea, occasionally.
7. Are you usually early or late to meetings/appointments?
Always early.
8. Do you know how to find the North Star (Polaris in the Northern Hemisphere) or the Southern Pole Star (Sigma Octantis in the Southern Hemisphere) in the night sky?
No -about the only thing I can recognise if I really, really focus, is Orion's belt.
9. What was the first fandom you were ever involved in?
I was a member of something as a 4 or 5 year old, but can't remember that. My first active fandom was Blake's 7, where I joined Horizon (the club) and participated in the 6-monthly magazine.
10. Ellen Ochoa was born today in 1958 and was the first Hispanic woman to travel to space in 1993. Would you like to travel to space?
No! Even though I am a fan of sci fi. I don't really enjoy flying ... just enjoy getting to the other end.
11. What’s your favourite way to eat eggs?
Fried, scrambled, hard boiled ... in fact I like most traditional ways.
Right, I will catch up soon x

Date: 2025-05-11 10:02 pm (UTC)No...I eat anywhere but a table. I am always a few minutes early to appoinrments. Yes...I do know how to find the NS. First fandom was a dark BDSM story, then Pirates of the Caribbran. Lord of the Rings and Narnia. I really wrote a lot!
Nope! I can go to the planetarium or watch documentaries on outer space.
In omelets.
