I’m trying a new vegan recipe just today. 2. Who do you sometimes compare yourself to? I try not to compare myself with anyone. I look to others for ideas, advice or inspiration, not points of comparison. 3. What’s the most sensible thing you’ve ever heard someone say? “Stop.” 4. What gets you excited about life?

Tumultuous. 05 What is your lover's pet name for you?  You’d have to ask her. I’m not sure that she says it out loud. 06 What is your least favourite colour? Teal. Or cyan.

Fish from Venice. Geilston Bay, September 2016. No, you can't do that. You can't do that with that shirt on. Not with those shoes you can't. Not with that look on your face. Not with that attitude. Not with your frame of reference. Not from you. Not by the likes of you. No, you can't do that.
