You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
Call my mum, my best friend or my sister. Then do a little happy dance/scream in the bathroom.

Mmmm Candy
What’s your favorite candy?
I honestly love most candy but here goes the 5 I think have rotted my teeth:
- Jelly babies 🐻 – Haribo gold bears for the win
- Lollipops 🍭- if the have gum, toffee or sherbet in the middle even better
- Dairy milk (mint, fruit and nut or plain) 🍫 I know it’s technically not candy but I love itv
- Toffee – Mackintosh is top tier along with the gold ones in Quality Street (still seething from the packaging change this year)
- Bonbons – the pink ones in particular
Quitting or changing course
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
The thing I’m most afraid of doing is changing course in my thinking especially regarding my career. I’ve always been practical and somewhat done what I needed to but now I’ve been considering becoming more of a free spirit.
I’ve been considering taking a break from my 9-5 so that I can travel on a budget and focus on content creation as my 9-5. I already have so much content but working full time leaves no real time or urge to take on tasks that don’t pay.
I think if I had 6 months uninterrupted I would be able to complete my Mona Lisa. I think if I was allowed to control my own time I would be able to be more creative. I think if I was just a little bit more brave, I would take the jump away from stability into the great unknown.
And the winner is . . ,
What would you do if you won the lottery?
What would I do if I won the lottery? Well first I would be glad I finally changed my mind that lottery tickets are a waste of money and it’s better to buy a chocolate bar instead.
Next I would hire a financial planner and accountant because I have heard that a high percentage of people that win the lottery end up broke in 10 years.
Next I would buy my family members houses or gift who ever I wanted to gift. I’m not sure if I would tell them how I got the money but it depends on the amount of winnings.
I would then quit my job I’m not one of those people that will stay humble through work. I’ve worked many many years, any and all I can learn about work I think I have learnt.
Finally I’d start my world tour visiting different places. I would buy a globe, spin it and depending on where it landed I would visit that place. O finally I should probably gjve some money to a worthy cause.
To Read List
What books do you want to read?
As a lover of books there are so many books in my list. I’m trying not to buy any more books until I’ve read the ones I have especially the e-books that have been gathered and not completed.
- African Philosopher Reader – Edited by Coetzee and Roux – Found it in the library then couldn’t remember the name then finally got the ebook.
- The W.E.B. Dubois Collection – Blackmore Dennett – I’ve read some of it including For the Souls of Black Folks but haven’t finished the rest
- The New Class War – Michael Lind – Probably one of the many books I have been recommended by one podcast or another.
- The Pillars of the Earth – Ken Follet – Started it like I’m not sure when but I need to complete the book and maybe eventually the series
- Winter of the World – Ken Follet – Read the first book but haven’t finished this one and the 3rd is waiting for me
- The Federalist Papers – Alexander Hamilton – My friend recommended it
Those are few of the ones on the list but every year I also do a podcast book review episode of the books I have read, so maybe they list will be shorter next year or I’ll buy a few more to read.
