Questions for 29 - 31 August

29. How many closets does your house have?
That depends on what a closet is! Googling tells me that it's a tall cupboard or wardrobe. Here the ones for clothes are wardrobes, and the others with shelves are cupboards whether or not they have cups in them. (An aside: "nicht alle Tassen im Schrank haben" - "to not have all cups in the cupboard" - is a German expression for being crazy.) Anyway, this house is old and doesn't have many built in.
30. What year is your car?
September 2019. It's the first new car I've ever bought, and that was because I used part of an inheritance.
31. What's the largest animal you've ever had as a pet?
As a child, the family springer spaniel Sherry who followed a cocker spaniel, Peter. As an adult, it would have to be Vic, the stray we adopted (see icon) as Sebastian is smaller than he was.

- Wardrobes (for clothes): there are two small ones under the eves upstairs you have to duck to look into, and a large Ikea one.
- Tall cupboards (with shelves): one in the bathroom, four in the storeroom, one in the upstairs gallery.
