Ramblings of a retiree in France
I have accepted the very kind nomination from Betul Erbasi who writes short stories in English and Turkish over at a blog of the same name. Betul’s a PhD student at the University of Southern California and the blog provides her with an outlet for her creative talent. Head on over there, check out her blog and give her a follow.
“Mystery Blogger Award” is for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are some of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging; and they do it with so much love and passion – I definitely fall into the latter category!

It’s getting more and more difficult to come up with stuff I’ve not already talked about!
1. My boss at my last employer decided to commission an assessment of his executive team. I came out as “The Board Rebel,” a title I much relished. My boss less so!
2. As a child I tried many times to get rid of my kid sister. I was unsuccessful!
3. Dogs love me! I’ve no idea why but they always make a bee-line for me.
I love all the posts about my beloved husband, such as:-
https://viewfromtheback.com/2017/12/31/things-my-beloved-has-lost-hire-car-keys/
1. What was the last thing you challenged yourself with?
This https://viewfromtheback.com/2019/04/21/a-moment-of-madness/
2. What is your favorite food?
Probably lobster
3. What is your dream city like? What kind of city?
My dream city is where I live in France. I’m an unashamed urbanite.
4. Can you describe yourself in a sentence?
Don’t need a sentence. I can do it in 5 words – Remainer, happy, fun-loving, healthy and long-time married.
5. (Weird/Funny, repeated from above) What was your most embarrassing moment (or most disgusting habit – if you can’t think of one) ever?
I’m going to have to give this some thought. Oh, I know, when I accidentally stole a car. You know, I should write a post about that incident!
Is it my imagination or are these pesky rules multiplying?
1. Put the award logo/image on your blog.
2. List the rules.
3. Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
4. Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well.
5. Answer the 5 questions you were asked.
6. Tell your readers 3 things about yourself.
7. You have to nominate 10-20 people.
8. Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog.
9. Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question (specify).
10. Share a link to your best post(s).
Anyone can join in with the fun. Feel free to answer Betul’s 5 questions either in the comments below or in a stand-alone post on your own blog.
Above all, have lots of fun this weekend
Best wishes
Sheree x

lobster use to be considered a low class food and was very cheap (because it is a bottom feeder). today it is a special food and a bit costly. im not sure when or why the switch. but it is tasty.

You’re either a Brexiter or Remainer depending on whether you want UK to exit EU or remain.

Congrats on the well-deserved award, Sheree! This is the first time I’ve noticed someone answering the age old question of ‘describing yourself’ with a Brexit reference. Are you hoping for a second referendum? I still can’t believe how long this whole thing has dragged on for. What a total shambles!
But I have to ask, how on earth did you manage to accidentally steal a car?! 😂 I know when I had my old little KA many years ago I went up to the wrong car, looked identical to mine, they even had the same Jelly Belly air freshener, and couldn’t figure out why my key didn’t work.. then I noticed the shopping stuffed in the back seat and thought, ‘wait a minute’… ooops!

As a Brit who has lived and worked (thank goodness) for 15 years in France, Brexit is relevant. Like everyone else I have no idea what’ll happen but I’m prepared for the worst. All will be revealed about my car thievery in a future post.
