Happiness month day 22 – trivia

The lovely Nadine left a comment on my blog the other day and I followed a link back to her new website, Last Known Nest. On it I saw a ‘trivia’ post which I thought I’d borrow and share on here.

Being a Gemini I love a bit of superficial trivia, so, if you’re interested here are 39 questions about yours truly; which is rather lovely as it’s one for each year of my life.

I’m sharing this as my happiness post because I’m happy that Nadine popped over and left me some comment love; she’s a woman I feel a deep connection with although I’ve no idea why.

I never get bored; I’m a Gemini for goodness sake, so have lots to occupy myself with
