Saturday 9 - American Pie

                                             Join in the Saturday 9'ers    this-a-way 

                                  Hear this week's featured song here

1. When you were a kid, what household chores or job did you do for spending money?  I remember getting £1 for cleaning out and feeding the ferrets every weekend but I shared it with my twin who was terrified of the little nippers.  We were never paid for the chores, mind you!

2. What drink did you last order?  In a pub, a glass of white wine.  In a cafe, probably a very milky tea.

3. When was the last time it rained where you are?  It is drizzling as I'm hitting the keys!  

4. What's the last thing you wrote with pen or pencil?  A shopping list no doubt.  I wander aimlessly round the aisles and forget necessities so on paper it goes. Every visit. 

5. Don McLean's CD Addicted To Black refers to Olivia from The Twelfth Night. This instant (no cheating with Google) name another Shakespeare character.  Romeo Montague. What a shameful cop out.......

6. Is your neighbourhood easily walkable?  Pretty much, lest you've been in the pub all night!

7. Have you ever been to Disneyland?  No.  Although I've always wanted to ask Donald Duck why he bothers with wrapping a towel round his waist every time he comes out the shower!

8. Have you ever used a tanning bed?  Heavens, no!  I'm very much a tan dodger.  I don't do summer very well, I'm afraid.

9. Have you seen the 1999 movie American Pie?   Yes. And the follow ups. Lots of youngsters in the family.

Good question about Donald Duck!

Now I, too am curious about the duck!

I hope you get to Disney and confront Donald.

Unfortunately, wine now gives me headaches. Which is unfortunate, because I miss it. Sangria, too. (Menopause is a bitch.)

I will never be able to watch Donald Duck again without thinking about that query. Ha.

I am not sure that I could get that close to a ferret let alone, clean their cage.

We (my bro and I) never got paid for our chores, only something American Kids call an allowance which for us was around two dollars. And, lucky you to have ferrets. They are so cute! We have similar little creatures here, but in the wild. That's so funny about Donald Duck! Why indeed!
