Q) What were you doing 10 years ago?

A) January 1996 … I was living in East Malvern with a flatmate called Angel. I was a postgraduate student at Monash University – although on sick leave at this time. Doctors appointments, twice weekly blood tests, queues at DSS. NOT a fun time. Read a lot of novels.

Q) What were you doing 1 year ago?

A) January 2005 … I was back at work (unlike now!!)

Five snacks you enjoy: chocolate; fresh popped popcorn; corn chips, cheese ons; crumpets with golden syrup.

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics: Closer to Fine (Indigo Girls); Great Leap Forward (Billy Bragg); Wonderwall (Oasis); Wide Open Road (Triffids/Weddos); Total Eclipse of the Heart (perhaps a duet, Kathy?).

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire: pay off the house; assist family members; travel widely and in style; give to worthy cause(s); probably not be a millionaire for long!!!

Five bad habits: a failure to show a willingness to learn about technology and consequent dependence on others to solve related problems; catastrophising; making plans and then failing to follow through with them; using a new cup to make subsequent cups of tea during the day rather than rinsing and re-using the initial one; and that old favourite: procrastination.

Five things you like doing: being on holidays; reading; having a chat; pottering about antique shops; the Age word puzzle.

Five things you would never wear, buy or get new again: velvet headband; ‘Princess Diana’-style haircut; pearls; uncomfortable shoes; tanning lotion.

So this is the plan: Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot:
