My dream job is retirement! LOLFor the girls - stilettos or flats

New Zealand A holiday destination you would NOT return to
VeniceFavourite day of the year.?
I guess I would say mothers day as its really sweet that my kids write their cards, and my hubby always buys me something good!A favourite 'rave' of yours ie. opposite to a rant. Something good?!
I love raving on about dogs and travel!Okay, opposite to rave now. What do you often rant about that makes you really riled up?
We own various cars due to my husband's business and it seems to be beyond his range of motion to turn the ignition off completely, and leaves the accessories on. What is for dinner tonight? Or are you like me and don't always plan ahead?
Chicken but haven't figured out what to do with it and veggies.Favourite vegetables?
Mushrooms, asparagus and eggplant.Favourite main course?
mmm maybe baked dinner??Favourite pre dinner nibblies if having guests?
Cheese Platter.What would you prefer, shoulder massage or foot massage? (The receiver not the giver)
Shoulder. What do you do for yourself that is a treat - not reading!
Anything that I do not have to prepare.What are you looking forward within your day today?
Finding out what the local butcher has as his 'prepared dish' of the day.Do you have a holiday coming up?
Cliche perhaps but go to my favourite cafe with a book and kill a good few hours.Food you simply cannot stand to eat?
Anything with vinegar or mint as part of it.What's your favourite takeaway?
JuiceWhat's your favourite medium to access Goodreads?
On my iphone - but only update current reads on it and read posts - find it to hard to join in conversations and do linky stuff.Do you still have a land line phone at home?
Movie definitely. What is the last book recommendation you've given, not on Goodreads, and to whom?
Last night I recommended 'Needfull things' by Stephen King to my brother (he's just discovered reading and has taken a liking to that genre) If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

What is your very favourite past time (not reading!)
Spending time with my husband and family.Second favourite past time that is not reading?
Spending time with my own dogs or the dogs at AWL.What is a pastime you don't enjoy that you have to do, because your partner enjoys it?
Watching some dreary and never ending political discussion programme on French TV.If you've been to Europe, where was your favourite place and, if you haven't been, where in Europe would you like to go?
I lived in Zurich for a year, so that is like a hometown to me, so it's my favourite place. Two others are London and Cardiff, Wales.Is there a country or city you have visited that you absolutely hated and never, ever want to go back?

Where would you like to retire to?
I'd like to either remain here in Paris to live out my days or move to Palm Beach, NSW.Have you ever dreaded going to a place but when you got there you were pleasantly surprised and really liked it?
School campwhat did you have for breakfast today?
A slice of Swedish crispbread with some cholesterol reducing spread and a sliced hard boiled egg.Do you believe in diets or do you think that a combination of eating less and exercising more is the only thing that works?
David you're in a good thing wanting to retire to Sydney's Northern beaches :)It's definitely the latter, but I understand it's not as easy for some, as it is for others.
Do you do any form of exercise for a regimine, or for enjoyment?
Bit of both. I train Jiu Jitsu, Martial arts itself is a regimine, but it certainly is fun too! Tea of Coffee?
Coffee after lunch. Tea the rest of the time. Flavoured tea or just a traditional brew?
Traditional. Milk no sugar. Cappuccino or flat white?
Holidays close to the beachAre you a list writer?
I finally have an afternoon free of children's extra curricular sports etc. yay! So it will be organising a steak dinner and reading after dinner hopefully. Do you have a holiday/getaway planned in the near future?
Yes, going back to Vietnam later in the year because I loved it soooo much last time!Would you go there?
Yes, when we were on an expensive Aus holiday, a lady that served us at Coles told us how much a holiday there would cost as she went there with her family, and it was less than we spend here every Christmas. Do you like going Byron Bay? If you haven't do you want to?
I am a local to the NSW Far North Coast, so grew up close to Byron. I've always thought the place is so overrated and expensive and full of Ferals. So no, I don't like it. The hinterland, where I grew up is beautiful.Can you name a small town close to Byron Bay?
Sure can! I went to school at Newrybar.How high is the ankle of your slippers?
I don't have any!Where is your favourite spot at your place to do your thing on GR?
At my desk in the living room window of my flat with a view of a typical Parisien street outside, complete with tramway, metro station, restaurants and shops.If you don't wear slippers what do you wear around the house?
Crocs, and I love them for in the house. There, I've said it.What wouldn't you be seen dead in?
