- What is your favorite word? Stunning – It is so expressive in the variety of different South African accents. I use it often!
- What is your least favorite word? No. It’s so negative.
- What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? The outdoors – mountains, sea and bush.
- What turns you off? Stubbornness – It’s such a block to learning, enjoying your world and moving on.
- What is your favorite curse word? The South African version of ‘shit’ – Kak, pronounced Kuck. Of course I never swear!
- What sound or noise do you love? The dawn chorus of birds
- What sound or noise do you hate? Fire engine sirens and the tocotocotoco of the helicopters’ rotors – it usually means there’s a fire on the mountain and there’ve been just too many here this summer. Also Police sirens as then I know another crime has been committed. One hears them too often.
- What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? “I’ve been known to say – “In my next life I’ll teach at a Girls’ School” – so no, No other profession comes to mind.
- What profession would you not like to do? One school holiday I signed up to be a Nurse’s Aid – Definitely not something I’d like to be forever. I think nurses are amazing.
- If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Which Game Park would you like to start at – oh and none of our creatures are endangered here.

great answers! I don’t like those shrill sounds of engines either.. unnerving, but especially when you know something bad has happened.
