Good morning from a chilly England. Thank you Miz Bookworm for the questions.
Now then, The last museum I will have visited, would be the British Museum in London. The place is enormous. I first entered its doors over 40 years ago. Lots still unseen.
My shoe size is English 9. I have lots of shoes. I buy them when I spot a good buy in the sales! The colour I wear most is probably dark brown.
The teen heart throb in my teen years was David Cassidy. My first wife before we married, had a big poster of him on her bedroom wall. My bedroom wall was full of Raquel Welch...... sigh.......
I wouldn't have a clue who is throbbing young hearts now. But, none of the women today are anywhere near as gorgeous as my Raquel!!
What is the last museum you visited? Geez, cannot remember.
What is your favorite museum? Any natural history museum is my fave.
What is the most unusual museum you’ve ever heard of? I think there is one with sex organs.

Do you have:
Three or fewer pairs of shoes?
Four to seven pairs of shoes?

What color is the pair of shoes you wear most often? Black is beautiful, baby!
Bonus Question:
Who was the big teen heart-throb idol that was most popular when you were a teenager? Late 60s into early 70s, too many to name.
Did you have any posters or record albums of that star? HA! No. We had gazillions of posters, but no teeny bopper love sick stuff.
If not, what did you decorate your bedroom with as a teenager? We painted it red and covered the wall with posters and black light posters and plants and put our beds on the ground. We were so cool.
Just for Fun:
What is your favorite thing to do to relax and unwind after a stressful day? Go home and do nothing except relax for awhile, then make supper and NOT HAVE ANY HEALTH ISSUES or home repair disasters.
My first day back at school and wouldn't you know it, my transportation is temporarily suspended due to a derailment in Michigan City. The good thing is, they're reporting no injuries. So I'll drive in this morning.

Most of them are the same though. I have a couple of styles I love, dress and casual, and pick up a pair or two when they're on sale. Then I just tuck them away until the pair I'm using wears out.

10.5 in either double wide or 4 E.
I rotate between black and brown. Shoes that fit are difficult for me due to the wide width that I need.
4-7.

David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman were very popular. I think I had 45s by each but no posters.
The only decorations I can recall were religious ones that was forced on me when I was younger. I doubt I was even allowed to decorate my room.

I'm not stressed but I do enjoy listening to music. I try and not let things bother me. Life is too short.
