More Than You Want To Know

The awesome writer who is Indigo Roth has inflicted upon bestowed and honoured me with a Best Follower Award:

This award comes with a scary number of questions. Fortunately it doesn't come with Anne Robinson. That would be just cruel and unusual.

1. What is your current obsession?
Food. 43 years I've been obsessed by what I poke in the hole in the front of my face.

2. What are you wearing today?
Amongst other things, two shoes of the same type and colour. This is exceptional.

3. What’s for dinner?
Now, I think it will be something healthy like jacket potato and salad. By this afternoon it'll be takeaway pizza or chips. By the time I get home it'll be a takeaway curry.

4. What’s the last thing you bought?
A neoprene ankle support.

5. What are you listening to right now?
The Wishing Tree - Nightwater

Right where I am would be nice. Fluffy daughter would miss her school mates if we moved.

Kato over at Pandorah's Box has been kind enough to send me the Kick Ass Bloggers award. Thank you very much indeed. It looks a lot like this below:

Apparently I have to give this award to eight kick ass bloggers. Eight is a big number and I'm functionally innumerate. So here we go:

• Paula at How To Become a Cat-lady Without the Cats
• Sondra Stinglash at Callithump Thunderblog
• Annie at Eolist Petite

Thank you Kato.
