Here are five questions that you may choose to answer in the comments section below, or on your own blog. Feel free to point other bloggers to the questions. My answers are below.
This week I’ve focussed on growing up.
1. Did you have a favourite teddy bear and what was its name?
2. Who was your first ‘best friend’?
3. What did you want to be when you grew up?
4. What do you miss most about your childhood?
5. Where did you live during most of your childhood?
1. Yes. His name was Fred.
2. My first best friend was Lynnette Smith. She lived across the road from us.
3. I had the idea that I wanted to be a doctor when I was quite young then settled on the idea of being a radio announcer. I got to work as a radio announcer but don’t ask me to help you with your hacking cough or broken leg.
4. School holidays.
5. I grew up in Scarborough, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Our old house is one of only a few ‘old’ ones still standing in that street. I don’t think anyone lives there and it looks like it’s falling down. Most of the other houses have been demoloshed to make way for bigger, better houses or units.
