Telephone

09. Dog person or cat person?
Dog person, they're more sociable generally

10. If you came across £2000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?

15. What are you doing this weekend?
It's Easter and it promises to be the warmest Easter since 1909 here in The Netherlands. So I guess being outside a lot, working in the garden, seeing my dear ponies. Ofcourse also going to the Easter services in Church.

16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
Piano. That would be really convenient for practising my singing

17. How are you?
I've got a bit of a headache, probably from getting used to the high temperatures (I tend to have this every year)

Working, though the office will be very empty because it's Good Friday. I'm going to leave early and take the train to my mum's. Then Good Friday service in the evening.

In the short term, seeing my ponies this weekend. I miss them after not having seen them for two weeks. Also, the first episode of Doctor Who's new season on Saturday.

You have ponies!?

Yes, I do. Two black Shetland mares. They live at my aunt and uncles farm about 200 km away from my home, near where my mother lives. So I see them at best once a week. I would like to have them closer, but I live in a city now and a place in a stable would be too expensive. Besides, I believe they are very happy at the farm, there are three other ponies there, they form a nice little herd. They have a lot of space and my aunt and uncle have five kids so they do get their share of attention.
