Last week (or the week before? Time is flying!),
Jo nominated me for a Liebster Award! I've seen a couple of posts about this and it's such a fun way to get to know other blogs that you might not have heard about; it's not so much an award as a way of supporting other bloggers and also a chance to be a bit nosy, I suppose! The other posts I've seen are accompanied with lovely photos, so at first I thought it was some kind of photography award; you'll have to put up with
instagrams though!
1. What is your favourite thing to do on a weekend?
Breakfast!
During the week, I eat porridge at my desk when I get into work, so making a
proper breakfast is a real luxury for me and it’s usually a batch of creamy
scrambled eggs, avocado toast and a pot of tea. Since I bought a new computer
at the beginning of the year, it also means watching BBC iPlayer in bed, which
feels so indulgent.
2. What would your last meal be?
I’m constantly either eating, or thinking about eating, so this is really hard
for me! I could eat Thai food for days on end, so it would probably have to be
my favourite takeaway: fish cakes, Pad Thai, yum woon sen and beef massaman
curry. {cue stomach gurgling}
3. If you could try one job out for the day,
what would you do?
Thai beach bar owner, please.
4. If you could learn one skill and be super
amazing at it, what would it be?
I’d love to have a creative skill and I always wish I could be an illustrator
or graphic designer. It would be so fun to create book jackets or draw pictures
for children’s books.
5. What would your super power be?
Control the weather. When the sun’s out, everything’s a little bit better, but
being able to create a massive thunderstorm when I’m curled up on the sofa with
a hot chocolate would be pretty cool too.
6. If you could live in any city where would you
live?
I’ve been lucky to live in Tokyo and New York, but so far London is my
favourite! I’ve always said I’m staying put from here on out, but the
temptation to up sticks, rent out my flat and live in Australia for a year is
seriously fueled by Tania’s travels at the minute.
7. What is your happiest moment?
My happiest moment is stepping into a steaming hot bubble bath. Nothing
could be better for the soul.
8. What is your guilty food? - the one where
you're too embarrassed to admit to anyone that that is really what you ate last night
To be honest, I don’t feel guilty about anything I eat because it’s ALL SO
DERICIOUS. I think people normally have their embarrassing meals when there
partner is out for the night and can’t be bothered to cook, but if I’m in on my
own I always treat myself. I suppose my guilty food is an ‘everything meal’,
when all I can decide on is that I want to eat all of the food. I used to work in an American diner-style greasy
spoon and after seeing all the orders go out, I’d want it all and request the
weirdest meals: bacon and egg burger with a jacket potato and coleslaw on the
side, 1 chicken nugget, 1 scampi and sometimes a sausage. This, btw, was in the
days when I had a 16 year old’s metabolism and I was on my feet all day so I
never got fat. Oh, the injustice.
I've nominated a couple of blogs - both new-to-me and pals - and can't wait to read their answers! Over to you, girls xx
