Ice-cream-eating pessimist
2 – Optimist Day: Do you consider yourself to be an optimist or a pessimist?
Definitely a pessimist - or realist as I prefer to call it. Greg tends to optimism and whenever he assures me that something good will happen (e.g. shithead won't get elected in 2016, Covid won't come here, tradies will get our house renos finished before we've been in it 7 years, or tradies will, you know, actually turn up to do it) I've been right just about every time. Realist.
3 – Take a Cruise Day: Have you ever been on a cruise?
No, but I've been on lots of ferries, here and in Europe, which isn't the same thing. A work colleague went on one of those decadently luxurious cruises pre-Covid - one-day stops in various European cities, don't scratch the surface - and that really doesn't appeal. A friend's parents have just left on a much smaller French cruise ship for the Antarctic, and I have to say I wouldn't mind that: interesting destination and French food!
4 – Ice cream For Breakfast Day: Have you ever eaten ice cream for breakfast (or for any other meal)?
I'm assuming that ice cream is the entire meal? If so, then never for breakfast, only for afternoon tea if that counts (and I suspect that's not a meal per se). A local seaside restaurant makes their own gelato and sorbet in delicious and inventive flavours, and we've been getting ice cream two or three afternoons a week this summer. We sit on the deck there and eat it watching waves hit the breakwater. Actually I haven't had so much ice cream since I was in Rome as I only ever bought a small tub each summer till now.
