I didn’t really watch Saturday morning cartoons back then.

Today it’s a Saturday kind of Friday Five.

When was the last time you…

1. …went to the doctor?

Thursday. I have had lower back pain all week. I’m not a regular at the surgery. The doctor was quite surprised to see me.

2. …went to the dentist?

That would be in around June or July last year. My mouth could keep the dentist employed for quite some time but I’ll have to wait until I have some money (ha ha ha) before I get a bunch of work done.

3. …filled your gas tank?

This morning. I don’t usually fill it because I’m normally on my bike and Pauline has the car.

4. …got enough sleep?

Mmm. Enough sleep. Great concept. I can’t say that I even remember the last time I got enough sleep.

5. …backed up your computer?

That would be a couple of months ago. After my computer fun this last week I promise to do it more often. I didn’t lose any data but it was a reminder as to just how fickle these machine which run our lives can be.

It’s Friday Five time.

1. Are you superstitious?

Nah!

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?

I’ve heard of people missing out on living an awful lot of life just to follow superstitions.

3. Believer or not, what’s your favourite superstition?

My favourite is the belief that in order to have a happy life you must consume lots of chocolate and drink moderate amounts of good red wine. I know it’s not really a superstition but I dare not stop now.

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?

Luck is the name given to the results that come from persistence and hard work.

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

No. Life is not governed by the stars but by the one who created the stars.

It’s Friday Five time.

1. What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done?

Got way too close to the edge of the cliffs at the Great Australian Bight. (I’m terrified of heights.)

2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of?

Cycle all the way around Australia when I retire. (Not that I’ll be retiring for another 20 or 30 years.)

3. On a scale of 1-10, what’s your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it’s a lifestyle)

About a six I think. I would have said seven but that was too risky.

4. What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky?

I asked Pauline to marry me. She said yes.

5. … and what’s the worst?

I can’t think of anything really bad. Maybe I should start taking a few more risks.
