Hello, I liked your questions so I'm following you now :) I'll get to answer the rest soon!
You're a treasure, welcome to the gang, haha! And no pressure at all - just for fun!😊
Are there any books you’ve read lately that you recommend? Or just any books you’ve read that you truly enjoyed?
So I became great friends with an American author - she's awesome, in her 80s and with a tonne of brill work and the most fantastic sense of humour. She recommended the Great Gatsby as one of her favourites and its actually so good?! Like, who knew?! Apart from a shit tonne of people.Alsoooo, Becoming by Michelle Obama and Bridge of Clay by Michael Zusak. I'm adoring them.
You didn't send me that question (sad face), but I'd certainly erect a statue to you - on the regular - if you what I mean (wink's as good as a nod, eh) ;D
Ah dude, I missed you! Send me your @ and you can have it and answer as you like 😂
Oh dude, haha.I've got a mad lifestyle. I've got a work and training schedule that is nuts and leaves me absolutely exhausted by, yknow, 8pm and that tends to kill a social life outside of my sports circle. I've got a family lifestyle that is honestly pretty old fashioned and has intimidated eeeeevery guy I've brought home. We're talking black tie dinners on the regular, charity galas, huge parties, and a family business that is honestly more important to me than whichever guy I've been seeing for two weeks. A lot of people can't stick it. They get antagonistic and resentful and I don't have time to try and soothe egos.
You know the moment when you catch a stranger's eye on the street? In that moment, there are two options. You either avert your eyes hurriedly, like you owe them an apology. You look busy, even if you aren't late. Eyes on your shoes - my left is always scuffed after a lifetime of chasing and lunging. Or you smile.See, I'm an everywhere girl. I come from a village near London who grew up walking the streets of that stunning city, who grew up running in airport hallways and hotel corridors and car parks and sports centres and "walk, don't run!" followed me everywhere. I moved to a mountain - and people smiled here? Which was funny because they smiled in that first village, too. I learnt to make friends with those smiles. I fell in love with s couple of them.So the first thing - the very first thing, before words and personalities and appearances get involved - is that split second choice. The beautiful ones have a moment. They smile.
I had cheerios straight out of the box bc I am an adult and also because it seemed like a tonne of effort to wash a spoon.
Are you good at budgeting? I'm good, really strict, for about 3 months then I go nuts and spend, spend, spend :(
I do this! Except it's 3 days instead of 3 weeks, and I just bought a new set of Folio books, a racket (mine sNAPPED so its a need) a £450 pair of shoes and a £250 motorbike helmet, so my life is essentially garbage.
I'm a fan in theory but not in practice. I have sensitive skin and I get rashes after a good kissing session if he has stubble 😂
True, I feel like guys don't understand this. It's like succulents? Super aesthetically pleasing and looks great in photos but is prickly af in real life.
So I'm not from a town, bit theres been a bunch of cool dudes and dudesses in the surrounding villages. I'm going off the top of my head so don't @ me, but as far as I can remember:Bernard Shaw, Gertrude Jekyll (I love her okay dont judge,) Huxley, Dickens, Genesis was formed 2 mins down the road, Peter Gabriel lived a stone's throw away, Brian May still does, Defoe, Tennyson, Conan Doyle, J.M. Barrie, H.G. Wells and a bunch of others I cannae remember.
I don't want to be jealous of you but I fucking am.
My dude, there's nothing to be jealous of here. Apart from my dog, maybe?Jokes aside, you are the best version of you. I would be a terrible you, and here you are bossing it. Just be proud of yourself, because all any of us can do is our best and we get to be hella proud of making an effort.
