I was tagged by Nicola Cornick over on Facebook to do this meme and had such fun that I'm putting it up here as well. It was just lovely having all Neil Young's songs running through my head again.If anyone else feels like doing it, just cut, paste and carry on!
Using only song NAMES from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "My life according to (band name)" Pick your Artist: Neil Young Are you a male or female?: Such a Woman Describe yourself: Natural Beauty How do you feel: Unknown Legend Describe where you currently live: (Get Back to) the Country If you could go anywhere, where would you go: California Sunset Your favourite form of transportation: Cripple Creek Ferry Your best friend is: Out on the Weekend You and your best friends are: After the Goldrush What's the weather like: Like a Hurricane Favourite time of day: Harvest Moon If your life was a TV show, what would it be called: From Hank to Hendrix What is life to you: Bound for Glory Your last relationship: Don't let it Bring you Down Your current relationship: You and Me Your fear: The Old Laughing Lady What is the best advice you have to give: Long May You Run Thought for the Day: Are There Any More Real Cowboys? How I would like to die: Only Love Can Break Your Heart Looking for: Where is the Highway Tonight? If you could change your name, you would change it to: (Once an) Angel Wouldn’t mind: Words My soul's present condition: The Wayward Wind Most Faithful Companion: Heart of Gold My motto: One of these Days
. Sometimes, organising the RNA Conference is a seriously fun job. Last week, for instance, I was in Greenwich speccing out the Queen Anne building,
the Painted Hall (no, we can't afford to eat there, but it had to be checked, right?),
the Queen Mary Undercroft (we might be able to eat there - wonder if they do beans on toast?), and the view from the Trafalgar Tavern (we can afford to eat there).
And all on the hottest day of the summer so far in London. .
. This year I decided to colour-coordinate my hanging baskets. (Alan Titchmarsh, you have a lot to answer for). So on one side of the door, I filled the basket with yellow and white. It's pretty - but would have looked a lot better had all the yellow petunias not died.
The other side of the door, I filled the basket with glorious reds and oranges. Looks fabulous, doesn't it? Just as I envisioned it.
Until you glance upwards.
Did I mention we feed wild birds in our garden? Sometimes they're ever such messy eaters.
. Wonderful meeting at the RNACambridge lunch yesterday. I've never known two and a half hours fly by so fast. At our end of the table we discussed promotion, series books, why cleavages didn't exist in Regency times - oh and some of us also got our contributor copies of Loves Me, Loves Me Not!
This is the fabulous anthology of short(ish) stories by Romantic Novelists' Association members, put together to celebrate the RNA's 50th Anniversary next year. Contributors include Katie Fforde, Elizabeth Chadwick, too many others to mention and (as you can see in the photo) RNACambridge members Sue Moorcroft, Louise Allen and ME!
. Aren't friends wonderful? Just when you're feeling all Mondayish, there's a ring at the bell and a sweating delivery man hefts a giant box from Interflora over the doorstep.
And all to thank me for doing something I thoroughly enjoyed doing anyway.
