Ramblings of a retiree in France
Tatterhood most kindly nominated me for this award back in October (hangs head in shame). She writes or rather muses on her blog of the same name. Please check it out, she has some interesting content. Oh, and don’t forget to give her a follow!
As you’ll know from previous Neat Awards, I’ve interpreted “neat” as being “wonderful, terrific.”
You should all know how this works by now. Anyone who’s kindly taken the time to read this post is nominated. That should be more than seven, right? Please answer the same questions either on your own blog or, in the comments section below.
1. Seagulls or Pigeons?
To be honest, these have to be my two least favourite birds. But if you force me to choose, I’ll plump for pigeons because a pigeon has never stolen my fish and chips, though they do crap all over the handrail on my balcony. Fortunately for the seagull that flew off with the cardboard box containing my fish and chip lunch at the Fish Shack in Apollo Bay, there were only a few chips left.
2. Cake or Biscuits?
Both! Please don’t force me to choose. You’ll find plenty of recipes for both on my blog.
3. Flip-Flops or Sandals?
Do Birkenstocks count as flip-flops because I wear them all the time at home and, of course, all summer long.
4. Chop Sticks or Forks?
Depends on what I’m eating. I always try to eat Asian food with chopsticks but fancy trying to eat pizza with chopsticks? No, I thought not!
5. Roman Emperor or English King?
An emperor and king are both rulers, but the power associated with them is different. A comparison can be drawn between a regional manager and the CEO of a company. An empire can have many kingdoms within it; the emperor rules the entire empire while kings (or queens) rule smaller kingdoms within the empire. While the king (like the regional manager) has total control over his territory, the emperor (like the CEO) is the one who makes the final decision for the entire region. So that’ll be Roman Emperor every time. So much more power and pomp, plus I’d look good in a toga!
6. Inktober or Blogtober?
I would love to take part in Inktober – that’s drawing not tattoos, right? – but I’m not great at drawing, I need to persevere. So it would be Blogtober.
7. Random Crap or Sensible thought provoking Questions?
Random crap every time! Indeed, it could be the strapline for my blog.
Hope you’ve all had a great weekend.
Sheree x

Maybe this is where I have gone wrong when nominating people for awards. I have tried to be thought provoking, but maybe random bits would have been better….you’ve given me something to think about.

I was nominated for some awards 2 years ago. Since I was going on and off blogging, I didn’t get a chance to participate in them. And now, I don’t have the guts to revive those posts ๐คฃ

Congrats on the well-deserved award! As for the Birks, Iโd say theyโre both sandal and flip flop.
I bloody hate pigeons. They seem to aim for my head, and whoever made up the nonsense about pigeons pooping on you being good luck likely never had to endure a rain of disgusting pigeon poop.
Hope you have a good week ahead, Sheree!
