1. What's the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for you?

Difficult choice - there have been so many. Some highlights include:

Being whisked away for my 24th birthday to a beautiful cafe above a river in the bush

Being picked up at numerous airports across the States by various wonderful people on the two trips, and generally made a fuss of.

A friend, hearing me at home sick with the flu and unable to move from in front of the heater, coming over and making hot soup, and getting me to bed with medicines.

Expecting to have to go home and cook for the new boyfriend, and discovering that not only had he made dinner, but he'd run the bath and was trying to light the fire as well. (I ended up marrying this one)

2. What is the very first song that you remember hearing?

Three songs come to mind, and I really can't remember which was first:

Georgy Girl by the Seekers
Puppet on a String by Sandie Shaw
So I'm showing my age. So sue me

and..

When Jenny monkey has a swing it is a sight to see
She curls his tail around the branch and swings from tree to tree
Swinging up and swinging down, she is a lucky one
If we could all have tails like that I think it would be fun.

3. When’s the last time that you actually wanted to smack someone?

Last night, when waitingman wrote about doing things at work without adequate safety equipment. And yesterday when a friend was teasing me about World of Warcraft.

4. You’ve won the lottery! What will you do first?

Boringly, pay off the house. Then book the round-the-world tickets that include London, LA, Maine (for a two week period that I will insist includes camping in autumn in the woods), Maryland, New York, ... you get the idea. And Iceland, of course.

5. Do you like cats?

I adore cats. I think they're sweet and warm and cuddly. Alas, they also make me sneeze.
