Waffling on
Just a selected few this time as we're on holiday and relaxing.
22. World Water Day - a day to remember that not everyone has access to clean, safe water. Has the water to your home ever been cut off?
Several times, for mains maintenance in the street. We're on holiday at Waikouaiti lagoon and will have to leave early on Friday because the water will be cut off at nine. Power cuts are much easier to cope with; water is just essential.
25. In Sweden it's Waffle Day - are you a fan of waffles and do you own a waffle maker?
Sort of, and no.
Have you a favourite recipe?
They're usually very sweet because of the toppings, but I have them occasionally at our local nano-brewery which serves Belgian-style beers and snacks. I really liked the savoury ones I used to get at a cafe in Auckland.
26. In 1881 Guccio Gucci, the Italian founder of the Gucci fashion house was born on this day. Do you own any designer items (or is there something you'd love to have from a fashion house if money were no object?)
Absolutely not twice over! There's a second-hand shop in town that's all "labels" and I've never been in it.
27. World Theatre Day - have you ever seen a live play at a theatre? What would be your favourite play to see on stage?
Far too many times to count! I love live theatre! And once again I am incapable of picking favourites.
28. It's National Weed Appreciation Day. Allowing a small portion of land (either in a garden, yard or in agricultural land), is being encouraged to help the insects to thrive. Do you take part in this, or are there areas where you live that have been allowed to be 'wild'?
All the land on the hill below our fence is wild, and there are lots of bees and butterflies in our garden anyway.
29. Pita bread is celebrated today - what is your favourite dish to serve with pita bread?
Felafel and hummus all the way - one of my all-time favourie meals - in this case I can pick a fave! I also use pitas as a pizza base: some salsa or chutney, onions, tomatoes, and cheese - yum!
