Hi all here I am
taking part in 2026 hodgepodge Q & A the questions can be found here:
http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/01/hodgepodge-questions-volume-638.html
I live in the
south so we're pretty much only talking about the weather right now. Give us a
weather report from where you live. Does the kind of weather you're having
today affect your mood in some way?
I live
in the Southern Hemisphere and at the
moment the weather is either bloody hot or pretty cool, yesterday it was
38c or 100f and today it is 26c or 78.8f
Avocados, kale,
cauliflower and cottage cheese have all had their time to shine. 2026 brings us
the year of the cabbage. Is this a vegetable you like? If so, what are some of
your favorite dishes that call for cabbage?
Nope
don’t like it
Was a Cabbage Patch
Doll a part of your childhood? Or maybe your children's childhood? What's a toy
trend from your childhood you remember wanting for your own?
My
daughter always wanted a Gabbage Patch Doll but we couldn't afford to get her one,
of course I remember my rocking horse which is red and I still have.
Something you've spent a lot of time doing
lately?
Blogging
and watching YourTube
Somehow, it's the
last week of January...sum up your month in just three sentences.
How
about three words
Long
Busy
Hot
Insert your own
random thought here.
Life
is better when you don’t rely on external validation to understand your worth.
If you depend on people to build you up, you also give them the same power to
break you down. You are worthy regardless of their opinion.

I don't mind the green vegetables but I wouldn't thank you for avocado or cottage cheese. That's a big change in temperature but 26C is still hot to me lol. That's a good random thought. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks I did have a good week
DeleteI am not in love with cabbage. What is wrong with going back to avocado or trying asparagus?
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with them
DeleteOhh! I am in England so it's grey and rainy! I would happily take your cool weather! How wonderful that you still have your rocking horse.
ReplyDeleteThe rocking horse was used by my siblings, my daughters and grandchildren
DeleteInteresting about your weather. So sorry that you couldn't get her a Cabbage Patch doll. Yes, your random thought is a very good point. Take care.
ReplyDeleteShe was disappointed and has never let us forget it even though she is now 40
DeleteThose three words would almost be reversed here... except maybe for 'long'
ReplyDeleteCool
Delete100 degrees is a hot one. It's 27 degrees F here today and snowing. We have a couple of inches on the ground. This almost never happens in South Carolina but we have had actual winter this year. It's pretty but I'm ready for spring now.
ReplyDeleteThose stinking hot days drain me
