Sharing my world

 

Hi everyone I am taking part in sharing my world again here are this week’s questions and answers, which I found here: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/share-your-world-6th-july-2026/ 

Here are this week’s questions:

 

1.  What was the last film/movie you saw at the theatre/cinema?
Damn I can’t remember it was over 15 or maybe 20 years ago

 

2.  Do you like sequels or remakes?
Sometimes I do but often not they are no good

 

3.  Have you ever read a book and thought of the ‘perfect person’ to play the lead role?
Nope never happened

 

4.  Fun question:
Think of one of Hollywood’s tough guys (past or present) and cast them in a ludicrous role.
Who would you choose and what role would you have in mind?

Really difficult question thought of Arnold Schwarzenegger but then remembered the stupid movies he has made then I thought of Dwayne Johnson but he also has made some stupid movies so I gave up

A fruity hodgepodge

 

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-661.html

1. What's something you enjoy now that your younger self would never have appreciated? 

Sugar on a banana sandwich

2. What was peaceful about today? 

The quiet, no one is aroundme it’s just me and my laptop

3. It's National Blueberry Day (July 8). Will you celebrate?  You can have one of the following right now-a slice of blueberry pie, a warm blueberry muffin, or a stack of blueberry pancakes...which do you choose?

This or that-blueberries or raspberries? blueberries or strawberries? 

I don’t not like blueberries but I’m not keen on them, I would rather strawberries.

4. Do you need a break? From what? 

Nope no break needed here

5. What has surprised you most about getting older? 

How young I still am in my thoughts and dreams

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

“Your voice is the most influential sound in your life, so speak to yourself as if you are someone you deeply love. Every positive word you offer your own heart is a brick in a fortress of self-worth that no outside criticism can tear down. As you fill your own cup with this kindness, you naturally begin to pour into others, offering affirmations that act as mirrors to their hidden strengths. By choosing words that build up rather than break down, you transform your environment into a place of growth. Remember: an encouraging word to yourself changes your day, but an encouraging word to another can change their life.”

Getting to know me

 

So here I am answering more getting to know you/me, these questions come from Kymber found here:

1. What’s your current comfort snack?

Caramel popcorn

2. What small thing recently made your day easier?

Putting my feet up and doing nothing

Filling in the blanks

It's time again for Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and this week our friend Susan suggested the topic of decorating our homes for the holidays, especially for the 4th of July as it is the USA's 250th birthday.  So, let’s do that.

America became a free and sovereign, independent nation on

September 3, 1783

In Australia it isn’t something most do

2. What special little touches do you add to the outside of your home? Do you enjoy puttering around in your yard?

I’m not one for puttering around the yard

3. Are plants and shrubs an important part of your house decor?

Not for me

A Happy Hodgepodge

 

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-660.html

1. What do you love most about your country? 

I feel that over all things are done right and people are generally treated with respect

2. Your favorite patriotic song? 

The first song that came to mind was “We are Australian”

3. Red, white, or blue? Stars or stripes? Something you own besides a US flag with some combination of those colours or decorations as part of its design? 

I don’t have anything, but I am an Aussie

4. What's one thing you want more of this summer: fun, rest, adventure, connection, quiet, or confidence? Elaborate. 

Time spent with family followed by time spent alone

5. What was your ultimate, go-to summer activity when you were a kid? Do you still do any version of that today? If you answered yes, does participating in this activity as an adult make you feel like a kid?  

Can’t think of anything, as a child I spent most of my time either outside playing or sitting and reading a book.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

There is a quiet kind of happiness found in time spent with family. It lives in the familiar voices around the table, the shared laughter over small memories, and the comfort of being with people who know your story.
