1. Your Favourite Beverage:
I love white wine. Favourite winery? Can't pick one, but many found in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley are incredible.
2. Your Hometown:
Victoria, British Columbia. This is a shot of the Provincial Legislature, which is lit up every night.
3. Your Favourite TV Show:
Okay, it ended a while ago, but I still love it. I own the entire series on DVD. Brilliant acting. Brilliant directing. Brilliant writing. 'nuff said.
4. Your Occupation:
Nothing more need be said.
But I went to school to become:
There's no business like show business...ah, well.
5. Your First Car:
It got me to University. I had a political bumper sticker which embarrassed my Dad. Let's just say we did not share the same political views.
6. Your Favourite Dish:
This is French cuisine, but it's hard to choose. If I didn't have to cook it, it's a
winner.
7. Celebrity You've Been Told You Resemble:
Emma Thompson. We've both played the role of Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing". She has my career. No, no, I'm not bitter.
8. Celebrity on your "To Do" List.
This is for fun, right? Nothing wrong with a little fantasy...
I admit that I will never quite get over:
Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp. I'm smiling looking at this picture. Trust me.
9. Favourite Childhood Toy:
My sister and I called them "Guys"; as did all my kids when they were small.
10. Random Picture:
Venice. A place I am determined to see for myself. Magical.
Back to regular business tomorrow. What are your 10? You don't have to post pictures, but share!
I adore Captain Von Trapp. And, as far as I'm concerned, no one can play him like Christopher Plummer (who, even though he got old is still attractive!).
ReplyDeleteKaren; He is still lovely. Thanks for dropping by!

When I was a kid, I watched The Sound of Music for, well, the story and the singing. Just loved it so much! Then one day, I was in my 20s, I think, and I popped in the movie and realized, oh my! Christopher Plummer is adorable! Glad to see I'm not alone in this :)
ReplyDeleteVictoria is a beautiful city and I love The Sound of Music, still have an old LP soundtrack :)
