Tagged ... and dreaming of Italy

I have been tagged by the lovely Trish from A dream House for Trish. Following are my answers:

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I was born in New Zealand and moved over to Australia when I was 20, so I love living here. Having said that, I would love to experience living in Italy for a little while. When we travelled to Italy (many years ago now) we had the privilege of visiting a small island off Venice called Burano. It is a gorgeous little place with all these quaint colourful houses - we were told that the postie knows your house by its colour not its number.

Imagine living in one of these for a little while ....

2. What is your favorite band?
My favorite Australian band would have to be Something for Kate, but I like all kinds of music. Whats on my 'playlist' at the moment .... always Pink .... but also among others Evermore, George Michael, INXS, James Blunt, JT, Michael Jackson, Pete Murray, Rob Thomas .... I told you its an eclectic mix.


I have to mention Michael Jackson as today is the one year anniversary of his death .... gone too soon. Whether you liked his music or not, he was a superstar.


3. If you could be someone else for a day who would it be?
More popular, and probably more powerful, than the President it would have to be ..... Oprah. She is an intelligent women who has made a difference in so many peoples lives. Not to mention the fact that she is one of the wealthiest woman in the world!!

4. Concert or Broadway show?
This is close, but I'm still young at heart and would probably choose the Concert!

5. Theme song for life?
This was the hardest question to answer but I finally came up with Mika's 'Love Today' because even if you are having a really bad day you can always find something to love about it ... even if its the simple pleasure of a coffee.
Please don't google the lyrics for this song like I did last night - it may shatter your image of 'loving your day' - just take my choice on face value!


6. Would you choose a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant or a picnic in the park?
I would definitely choose the fancy restaurant. Probably Il Centro for its yummy seafood!

7. Favorite Place to Shop?
What, just one? Okay I'll stick with Brisbane and say if I was going on a shopping day I would start with the Woolloongabba Antiques Centre, then for homewares move to Coming Up Roses in Balmoral, or Buba & La in Paddington, then for clothes on to the Valley and Nelson & Malloy..... after that I would need a merlo coffee or two!!

The Old Boat House

8. Favorite movie?
A romantic at heart ..... it has to be Notting Hill ..... I've lost count of how many times I have watched this movie.
