Rebecca answers more random questions!

Hello again ladies and gentlemen, some of you have been here before, so welcome back to my brain!!  On with the questions then...

1.   What activity do you do that makes you feel most like yourself? - Well, when my floor is messy and there's paint on my hands and sleeves and jeans, I usually feel great.  If I lie down on the floor and stare at the ceiling I find myself and when I'm swimming I feel alive.  Strictly that's three and I still didn't answer the question, hehe.

2.   What's something you never leave home without? - Uhm, clothes, shoes, in Scotland: an umbrella, in Australia: suncream (sun screen for Aussies.)

3.   What's your actual superpower? - I can tolerate a lot, I'm quite observant, I'm more or less clever...

4.   What are you terrible at but love to do anyway? - Singing or dancing, doesn't matter if you aren't good, as long as you're having fun.  Being able to laugh at yourself is an added bonus!

5.   What weapon would you carry during a Zombie Apocalypse? - I made a Pinterest board for that very event, check it out here! (Also, I find that A word to be impossible to type correctly.)

6.   What do you cook better than anyone? - Not better than anyone but I'm quite good at Steak, curry and Bacon Sandwiches.

7.   If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which one would you choose? - That's easy BBC's Sherlock.  Although, nothing would be happening because it's on hiatus, as the americans would say.  So, Doctor Who as well.

8.   What's a secret you have? - It wouldn't be a secret anymore if I told you lot.

9.   Have you ever danced in the rain? - Yeah, I have actually.

10. What was the weirdest prank call you have ever made? - We phoned someone's mum when I was about fourteen and asked her if she wanted some magic beans, to this day it was the weirdest.

11. If you could wake up tomorrow in a body of somebody else (just for this day).  Who would you pick and what would you do? - I would pick Benedict Cumberbatch, because I would get to meet him, more or less, I would become a boy, which is fascinating and he's filming at the moment, so that would be fun to be involved with.  I might even drive out to meet myself, because he would become me, right?!

12. How do you start a conversation? - Why?  Can't you?  Uhm, I tend to say hello and say I'm British and lost at the moment, can you help me?  Or I ask them about what makes them happy.

13. What cheers you up? - Oh too many things from messages from my friends and family, to cuddles with dogs and chocolate, hot chocolate, tea... I'm quite a cheerful person anyway, sometimes I just need to laugh a little and everything is better.

14. What is your favourite breakfast food? - Bagels, toast, some cereals but I need variety. 

15. What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten? - Probably snake or shark, tasted odd.  That or Venison.

There we go people and I didn't swear this time!  Wahoo!!!

fifteen more questions

Hello,

I'm getting my working and this allows me to answer honestly, and try to be a little comical too, so here we go!

1.   What do you do when you see a spider? - I genuinely get a glass and cover it over, if I'm feeling brave I'll slip a card under the cup and take it outside, or I'll leave the cup there until someone can come and deal with it for me!

2.   Do you have stuffed animals? - There are three black bin bags full of them in my parents loft, I have one here with me in Australia, Bramble Brown, he's been with me since I was 7 months old.

3.   Have you ever had a costume party? - No, but I've been to many.  Last one I went as the Joker, it was creepy.

4.   What makes your heart melt? - Boxer dogs, my niece Isabella and my nephew Thomas and the fact I won't be able to hug Thomas until he's almost one years old.

5.   Three good things in your country and three bad things - Well I'm from the UK. (I live in a small town in Scotland and went to University in England)  So three good things, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter and James Bond were all filmed in my country; we have, as a nation invented a lot of the things most people use daily, including computers, telephones and the internet and London is our capital city.  Three bad things, it rains on average 250 days of the year; the south-east is over crowded and we aren't as Great as we used to be.

6.   If your country belongs to the EU/NATO, what is your opinion about that? - The United Kingdom is a member (more or less) of both of those clubs.  North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was set up on the 4th April 1949 (I'm a history buff) to try and prevent the sort of power grab and vacuum that occurred in Germany in the 1930s with Adolf Hitler.  It is a military alliance which is still important to the world, as we saw with World War One and Two, we need these sorts of treaties to allow us to have support should this sort of war happen again.  As for the EU, we are a member, but not.  We don't have the Euro so we are in the second tier of the union.  I think it's okay, the only downside is now we don't get stamps in our passports when we travel within the EU!

7.   One thing which is why your partner would rather live in your country? - I don't have a partner, unless you mean on here, for this then I think you should move to the UK because we have amazing food! 

8.   If you had to move to another country, what would it be and why? - That's an easy one because I moved to Australia in September!  Why, because it's cold in the UK and I fancied a warmer climate, however briefly.

9.   Have you ever had to go to the doctors in a foreign country? - Nope, I'm usually well.

10. What foreign language would you like to know how to speak? - I would love to be able to speak French, I want to live in Paris, however briefly.

11. Name two foreign languages that sound hard to speak or funny? - Chinese (Mandarin) is hard and Japanese sounds fun.

12. What tv series do you follow at the moment? - BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who, that's about it, apart from old comedy series'

13. What is the latest good song you have found? - Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift are the ones I sing the most on the radio.

14. Have you ever had a general anesthetic? - Nope, like I said, I'm generally well.

15. What sport is the most interesting to watch and what is not? - I love football (soccer), rugby (league) and Formula One and I hate watching Skiing, Tennis, Golf and Cricket!
