Here are my answers to this week’s SYW

If you wanted to do something completely against your character, would you dye your hair a shocking colour, shave your head or get a tattoo?
I would never ever get a tattoo. What makes a person want to put a permanent mark on his/her body that he/she might not like later on in life? I get tired of wearing the same jewelry so imagine a tattoo that’s there for life!

The most outrageous thing I would do is die my hair turquoise, purple or bright pink! It would cause a stir but ultimately it would eventually grow out! Outrageous hairstyles appeal to me. When I was young, I had a spiky haircut!

What is your dream/perfect job?
I had my dream job – a teacher. It might sound dull to most people but I enjoyed every day of it. Nothing in life is perfect and there were plenty of things that irked me about our educational system. But there are ways of teaching creatively while paying lip service to the gods in their ivory towers.

I think it might have been fabulous to be a spy or an undercover cop!

Would you like to learn how to fly an aeroplane?
It’s not something that I have on my bucket list but if the opportunity presented itself, I think I would go for it!

Have you been on a hovercraft?
I think it was a hovercraft that I travelled on in 1993 when I crossed the channel to France. The memory of it has faded almost completely. However, the week in France is clear in my memory. I went on a mine train roller coaster that was terrifying, but I wanted to go again. Instead, my husband got us into the Space Mountain ride, which felt exactly like being in outer space and was twice as terrifying. But I loved it! Sorry, this isn’t the answer to the question, but it brought back all the memories!

I love the above quote and hope that I can live those words. I certainly try.
