Good afternoon all from a once again, rainy England.

Now then. How many different countries have I visited. Hmmmm. America, Canary Islands, Tunisia, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, France, and Spain. Some of them many times. I haven't truly lived in another country, but I spent a summer in Cyprus while in the army in the 70s.

We got a new car last week. It is a Fiat 'Panda'. It is called Chi-Chi, so my wife says......

I am in my kitchen. There are two different large windows.

Have a nice day everyone.

Have you ever lived in a different country? If yes, which one(s)?

Probably a few dozen. Yes, lived in Canada and in Wales for a very short time but I was too young to remember much. Would love to live in New Zealand.

Bluebell. Because it's blue. Also because everyone where I work calls their car Bluebell. It's sort of a running joke.

Today, I'd choose something that doesn't mind getting wet!

Mornin' all!

Overwhelmed with homework! So happy to be here today.

Today’s Question:

How many different countries have you visited?
Just Canada.


Have you ever lived in a different country? If yes, which one(s)?
No, but I dream of retiring to Nova Scotia!

Extra Credit Question:

Today is Name Your Car Day. Have you named your current car? If yes, what name and why did you choose it?
You bet cha! I name every car I own. My current car's name is Abby Someone. I got the first name while sitting in church, listening to the minister talk about nuns in an abbey. Once I had the first name, the last name came pretty naturally. Some of you have already figured it out.

Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein - "Whose Brain Was it?" - YouTube

Bonus Question:

If you were a wild animal, what would you like to be and why?
Most likely a Great Blue Heron. I'm pretty good at being still, and being patient. And I would love to be able to fly. Don't know how well I'd like a diet of fish and frogs though.

Just for fun:

How many windows are there in the room you’re now in?
Two. I'm sitting right in front of them. I love natural light, and it looks like it's going to be a nice cool and sunny one today. My favorite!

Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, 2nd October, 2012. My internet is much better this week though it still cuts out if anyone calls on the telephone. Hoping no-one calls while I’m posting these questions!
