1. Have you ever had a great conversation with a complete stranger?  Yip Quite often.  I'm the person on the plane, or the train or the bus to whom strangers gravitate to. And by strangers, I mean strange people.   My husband and I can get on a plane.  He has one seat; I have the other.  We say as we get to the seat, swap.... and still the person sitting next to me, who should be sitting next to him, will strike up a conversation with me.  I find myself sometimes, willing people to move away from me. 

2. Where did you go on the very first vacation of your life?  My very first vacation, let me think, I believe it was to a caravan in a place called Skelmorlie.    It's thirty minutes up the road.  And I totally believe we were sitting in a car park facing the sea.  I was only about 18 months old.  I wasn't walking when the holiday was planned, and I was when we got there.

3. Open the door of your refrigerator. What is the first thing you see?  Water.  Or Cheese.  we are eating sparse this week.  And have been for the last few weeks.  Positively spartan

4. What is your favorite place in your home.  My bed.  I adore my bed.

5. If you had wings to fly about the universe, where is the first place you’d land? 
 The universe? Or just flying?   I'd fly to the top of my house.  I'd fly to the top of a nearby hill.  I'd fly to Edinburgh - as the crow flies.   I'd take a trip into the sky and say hello to the International Space Station.

6. What is the first thing you do when you get in your car?  Put my seatbelt on.  For sure.  Never without it.
 
7. What is special about the town you live in? It was the town I grew up in.  I met my husband there (he's not from here), but he moved here to let my kids grow up here.    It's by the sea, and by the county, it's 30 miles from a city and 150 miles from the border.

8. What is the last thing you heard about your first love? 
 My first love is sitting next to me on the sofa.   My "first love" was a cartoon dog, called Hector.   He's not real and I don't think they even repeat the show.

9. If you had created the world in seven days yourself, what would you have created on the First Day?  A bedroom.  For us to relax. 

10. How do you beat the summer heat?  I keep the blinds tilted, and the windows open.    But then again, I live in Scotland, so sometimes like yesterday the high was 23, and today, the high was 11..... WTF???  And it's rained about 2inches.

11. Did you enjoy your Senior Year in high school? 
Yes I did.  Although my senior year wasn't the senior year.  There was another year of school, but I had a job.

12. Who is your favorite First Lady of all time?  Michaelle Obama.  But then again, I'm Scottish - what do I know.

13. Post a link to your first blog post.    Oh dearie me.... Not So good

14. When was the last time you needed First Aid?  Hmmmm  I need lots of First Aid.  I walk into doors, I paper cut, i hurt my knee.  My bum hurts, my back hurts.  I was at the hospital in March - such a sore arm.  They told me to go away, I had been there before with the same thing.

15. Can you explain what a first down is in football?  There is no such thing as a "First Down" in football.   Football is about penalties, and off-sides.  You are talking American Football, which ISn'T Football
