Hi everyone, here is
the latest hodgepodge
http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-657.html
How would you define
'the good life'?
To me
it is that part of your life that you remember with joy and laughter
What's the most used
app on your phone (and are you proud of that)?
My banking app, I don’t do a lot on my phone
'Every rose has
it's thorn', 'everything's coming up roses', 'looking through rose-colored
glasses', 'it's no bed of roses' or 'stop and smell the roses'...which
rose idiom best relates to something in your life currently. Explain.
“Every
rose has it’s thorn” because with Parkingson’s even a good day will have
unexpected struggles.
How do you feel
about floral flavourings in food or drink (rose, hibiscus, elderflower,
lavender)?
Not a
fan of it although until a few years ago I had never heard of using them, I have
tried a couple things with lavender in and didn’t like them much.
Over the course of
your life what have you probably spent more time pondering than anything
else?
I don’t
know, I am sure there must have been something, but I can’t think of anything
right now
Insert your own
random thought here.
Today
I am grateful for the wonder of life and the small things that make everyday
life, special, a message from a grandchild, an unexpected hug from my husband,
things like that.

I have my banking app on my phone but rarely use it, I much prefer to do everything on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a lot to be grateful for.
I prefer to do stuff on my laptop as well
DeleteI like your definition of the good life, and glad you have such wonderful things to be grateful for today.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week!
Thank you, I did have a good week
DeleteLovely answer for the first question. Hugs to you on your Parkinson's.
ReplyDeleteI Iove your random thought. Take care.
Thanks, it is the small things that I love most
DeleteI like your random thought. I use the banking app on my phone mostly - if I want to use it on my laptop I have to have the phone to hand to get a log in code!
ReplyDeleteSame here and for most things it is easier to do it on the phone, but generally speaking I prefer to use the laptop to do stuff
DeleteI am on social media much less these days, other than my blog. I feel like my feeds now are all ads and reels from people I don't know but the algorithm for some reason thinks I'd enjoy. Have a great day!
