Here are my answers to this week’s Share your world from Cee

What is your favorite color of hair? You can name your hair color or a color that you just like.

I don’t have a favourite.  Hair colour goes with complexion and I think that people look  best when they choose a colour that suits them and not what is considered beautiful by the fashion world.  Having said that, I think it’s fun to experiment with psychedelic colours.  Pink or green hair can look great if you dress outlandishly too.  Yes – why not?  I think I might try it some day!

I think blond is very pretty but way too common and boring.  I prefer rich colours – black, auburn, chestnut, titian.   People who are blessed with colours like that are striking.

I used to colour my hair.   One day my grandson said, “Gran all my friends grannies have grey hair.”   When I told him I coloured mine out he was shocked.  “You mean you really are old?” he exclaimed.
So when I retired I decided the time had come for me to become a real granny so now I grey and proud of it!

List at least 5 things that you are good at.

I won’t claim to be good at anything really.   However, I’ve reached a certain level of proficiency at the following:-

• Blogging
• Knitting
• Identifying birds.
• Teaching
• Computers – well the grandkids did help.

 

What is your favorite animal or type of animal? (pets, dolphins, stuffed, wild cats, etc)

All animals excite me.   I love wild animals and wild birds.  I’m against zoos and wild animals being kept as pets.

Perhaps my favourite wild animal is The Elephant. I love the matriarchal system – Males have to leave the herd after a certain age and may only visit when invited!  Elephant society works extremely well.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

We had old friends from Cape Town visit us for three days last week.  Jeff and Earl have been friends since they were five.   They never had kids of their own but were always a huge support to us with ours and when the grandkids came to live with us they were always on hand to babysit and gave us enormous support. So – yes – I smiled a lot when they came to visit.   We had an amazing time with them.
