Jungle Book
10.WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON?

11.WHAT IS IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR?
Nothing, but when I had a car, I kept wool blankets, a tool box that included everything from driver & drill sets to torque wrench, ball-joint remover, a really good jack & spanner, spare tire, flashlights, glowsticks and so on. I spent too many years camping and too many years in scouts not to go out unprepared

25.YOUR BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Taking my MA in 2 semesters; I do expect my nieces to do impressive things though, and if part of that success comes from something I said or did to help them along, so much the better--that would easily top anything else.
