1 minute with Mary
– What was the last song you sang along to? Thomas the Tank Engine theme song (reminiscing with my 13 year old) “They’re two, they’re four, they’re six and eight…………” it’s infectious.
– Do you prefer cats or dogs? Definitely dogs, but I think cats might be easier (sorry Bea).
– What’s your secret talent? I’m a bit of a crochet nerd, dabbling in Amigurumi.
– What still makes you cringe when you think back on it? My unfortunate 80’s hairdos (bleached mullets and spiral perms).
– An epic feast is held in your honour, what’s on the menu? Anything, as long as it’s with family and friends and a glass of bubbles.
– What awful movie do you love? Three Amigos.
– What do you prefer: city, countryside, woods, beach or mountains? Mountains for home and a quiet beach or ocean clifftop for recharging the batteries.
– What important message would you pass on to your younger self? Embrace the pastiness. That skin will never tan, protect it..
– If you could change one aspect about the past what would it be? Those 80’s dos!
– If you could have any superpower, which one would you choose? To have a clean, organised space with a wave of the hand. Clutter does my head in.
