tammylee gives me a B (after giving me a G just as feliciter did a year ago.)
1, 2 and 3. Bread, preferably Dempster's caraway rye that no one ever has, but failing that a good French, with unsalted butter and jam, or a chunk of Brie on top of a scraping of mustard laid over the butter. Cucumber slices and white wine optional.
4. Blogs. Without which I would have to channel surf, an activity too depressing to think about.
5. Books, but it's an ambivalent love. So many of them, so little time. But when they're good they're very very good-- take you away and let you be somewhere else for a change. Only dreams do it better, and books you can reread the best parts.
6, 7, 8. Burgundy-- the colour, not the wine. Probably the only colour apart from black that I still look stunning in, and that gives rooms a feeling of richness. Black however is a go-anywhere look-sophisticated colour, and I'm still very fond of brown especially in combination with white-- or brown or burgundy. (Blue OTOH leaves me cold.)
9. Botticelli, who painted the most beautiful women in, well, the western world at least.
10. Bach, but not all Bach. Am too musically inept to appreciate him, but have a sneaking fondness for Sheep May Safely Graze on Pastures and Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring.

someone once said that I have the curves of a Boticelli painting. She was a History of Art student with a sharp wit and an amazing person. I wish we'd kept in touch. You kind of just reminded me there is all.
I even agree about Burgundy and black. I do wear blue but the darker Navy and Midnight blue.
And even Bach too!
Books - yes! Definitely.

I concur with all!

Living in Australia, sadly, has not had a similar effect on my appreciation of the vine.
These days, for reasons unknown, the urge to gblog somehow dissipates in the time between switching on the computer and logging into LJ. Sigh.

Living in Australia seems to have taken a toll on you. I wait impatiently for your return to happier, or at least more congenial, climes.
