Complacent stupidity.
People who can’t wait to argue.
I guess lack of patience as well.
Entitlement or a lack of manners. Though I find they often flock together.
I’d like them to inherit my optimism.
I was very sorry to stop at two children – I would have liked to have had a third – and I am very sorry to have got divorced.
I’m a lucky woman – I was walking in the rain yesterday and was really happy.
I am spooked by water underground, water in drains and water in machinery. I am very frightened of mill wheels.
Not for a long time.
I take my family on holiday. We went to Egypt just after Christmas. Golly, it’s expensive.
