As you read this I am scheduled to be taking off to Sydney for shopping, then a drive down the coastal road to Wollongong & Kiama – very excited to have a few days to ourselves and to explore.

Now – the idea here is that each word has more than one meaning, so you’re to immediately scribble about the meaning that you first consider, no censor!

Today’s words are: DATE AIR SHED FLAKE INTEREST MIGHT

DATE infrequent activity! Si prefers movie dates, I prefer dinner + a walk. All too often he’s already seen the movie I want to see. Also involves a favour juggle to get L to babysit.

AIR need it to breathe! Or it’s an attitude that I have to put on, a confidence layer during interviews or assessments.

SHED ugly corrugated building that holds garden tools. I’m hoping to reinforce ours internally so I can grow Aleberic de Barbier over it, but will have to be a bit sneaky as this is a rose Si truly hates, as it’s thorny. But it has beautiful flowers for 6-8 months of the year so worth it.

FLAKE the personality type that I don’t have any time for. Or a crumbly chocolate bar, particularly good with pavlova, cream and strawberries.

INTEREST some things I can flirt with and others I have a keen interest and focus on. Also what I enjoy seeing in my Kiwisaver (retirement) account.

MIGHT in the context of the book I recently finished about Alfred the Great – it’s a strength of both opinion and power and the size of the army.
