Here are my answers to this week’s challenge from Di

 Do you prefer a duvet, quilt or sheets and blankets on your bed?

I have a down duvet on my bed. In the winter I top that with a blanket. Making a bed with a duvet is easy. Changing the linen is a different story!

Do you sleep with one or two pillows?

Two. But only one under my head. One is goose down, and the other is a sort of memory foam that is not too puffy. I have six in my home and want to replace them but I can’t find that exact type. Instead, I have covered them with pillow protectors. They are the most comfortable pillows ever! The shop I got them from no longer exists and there is no brand name on the pillow so I can’t even order them online.

Do you prefer a single, double, or king-size bed?

I have a queen-sized double bed. This past weekend we stayed in a B&B and requested a double bed expecting it to be a queen but it was tiny! However, we were perfectly comfortable – well I was!

In the winter, do you have a hot water bottle or an electric blanket?

I have an electric under blanket which I switch on for about half an hour before going to sleep.

Fun question: have you ever slept in a hammock?

I think a hammock is the most comfortable thing once you’ve managed to get into it. I have never owned one and never actually slept in one. I would imagine it would be fine for a nap.

Gratitude:
Enjoy what you have, it may be all you need.

When we moved from Cape Town I thought I would not be able to live without Woolworths. (South African chain store that supplies a variety of items including homeware, fashion, food etc. Their quality is superior to any other store in the country!) But guess what? I survive and I only miss them a tiny bit.

I didn’t want a Nespresso Coffee Machine but received one for my 70th birthday from my kids and now I love it!

But seriously it is true how we grow if we let life take us on our destined journey and learn to love every step of the way.
