What is your most vivid memory of the kitchen in your childhood?

Exciting vivid memories elude me. My main memory is being required to wash and dry the dishes with my siblings every night. Not caring for the washing part—I was happy to dry. This usually made everyone else happy.  They would rather wash or put the dishes away. It also meant I had control of any naughty tea towel flicking behaviours my younger siblings liked to try.

As a child, who was your favorite relative?

My father’s mother lived in a granny or in our case, nanny flat at the side of our home. She was always available to us if we needed anything and would wait for us to come home from school. I remember one year she told Santa that we would like a swing set, which Santa delivered.

What did you or did not like about the first apartment you ever rented?

The first apartment I rented was in Sydney after I was married. Having already purchased my home I did find that I was limited in where I hung pictures and what I could do frustrating. I was excited however, by the freedom of being able to move cities and set up a new life that renting gave me.

What kind of TV commercial would you like to make? Describe it.

I would like to make a television commercial about the power of positive thinking. How your actions can change your outcomes. It would include references to being in the present moment.

My hope would be that it would inspire people to recognise the power of their daily choices.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Last week I was grateful for the fun times I had at our work Christmas party. Catching up with people you don’t see often and remembering the year that was.

Next week I am looking forward to finishing work for the year at preparing for my Canadian adventure.
