todayiamadaisyLunar New Year, and it's now the Year of the Tiger. That's me! It's my year. Look out, world.
We couldn't keep up with eating our zucchinis and declared defeat with eighteen in the fridge. They've been grated and frozen in two-cup lots, ready for use in times of less zucchini plenty.
Brian Next Door cut three perfect circles into his perfect front lawn a few days ago. Today I came home from work to find he's planted pumpkin seedlings in them. So that's an unexpected piece of whimsy.

1. Do you think your country would change if everyone, regardless of age or any other current restriction, could vote? If yes, in what ways?
I suppose that would mean younger people would be able to vote, and that might mean people less willing to vote for policies that entrench existing structures that don't serve them. So that might be good.
If the very, very young were able to vote, we might end up with the Wiggles and Bluey in parliament. And, honestly, that couldn't be worse than who we've got now.
2. Is there a movie or TV show you can watch over and over again without tiring of it?
As a child, I watched Little Shop of Horrors many, many times, and would happily watch it again if I stumbled across it. Actually, a lot of classical musicals.
For some reason, I have seen the 1980s Joan Hickson Miss Marple version of A Murder is Announced multiple times, and, again, I would watch that again if I stumbled across it. The universe obviously wants me to watch it.
3. If an actor who is really well known for one role turns up in another film or TV show playing a different character, do you have trouble not seeing them as their more famous character?
No, that's fine. I have trouble the other way, when a different actor plays the same character. I will never believe the chap playing Endeavour is going to grow up to be Morse.
