I’ve been memed…5 random favourite things
Posted under Books I love, Lists of things, Material things I love
Spent much of the morning pondering on the word ‘meme’…what is it….what does it mean…where did it come from…how do you pronouce it…and does it need feeding like a small pet of some sort?
Having established what it is I pushed on and rose the not insustantial challenge of Molly’s 5 random favourite things. My list is a bit of a disappointment, a little bit…’lightweight’ shall we say? I’m now thankful that I’ve already fessed to being an intellectual lightweight, otherwise the secret would be well and truly out.
I am resisting the urge to witter on and comment on my choices as there are at least two forthcoming secrets in the 30 secrets in 30 days series contained within. So, here’s the list…
Favourite Songs:
1. True Love Ways – Buddy Holly (walked down the aisle to this)
2. Keep the customer satisfied – Simon & Garfunkel (walked back up the aisle to this)
3. Angel – Sarah McLachlan
4. Steal Away – The Furies (taking a moment to howl and sob)
5. Northern Sky – Nick Drake
Favourite Films:
1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
2. Love Actually
3. Le Divorce
4. Hans Christian Anderson (shared love with my boys, watch bits of it daily)
5. Amelie
Favourite Books:
1. Dance to the Music of Time – Anthony Powell
2. The Music of the Spheres – Elizabeth Redfern
3. Four Letters of Love – Niall Williams
4. Everything by Barbara Trapido (I know, I cheated)
5. The Woman in White – Wilkie Collins
Favourite Crushes:
1. Michael Palin
2. Michael Palin
3. Michael Palin

Favourite (Random) Things:
1. Brown paper packages (tied up with string of course)
2. The smell of a stationary shop
3. The bottom of the laundry basket
4. Time on my own
5. Belly laughs
Hmm, so I tag…any 5 people who read this and want to play. I think that’s cheating?!
I’m very jealous your laundry basket has a bottom. I have horny rabbit laundry. I’m never going to catch up.
Ah, I should have clarified…I very, very rarely see the bottom of mine…it’s probably full of dead things and clothes from the 80s…
i almost put Amelie but decided i couldn’t since it’s in french.
I’m intrigued by the Hans Christian Anderson movie. I love, love, love fairy tales. So, of course, I looked it up on Netflix right away. They have one with Danny Kaye and one with James Fox. Would that be the one?
