Five things Friday number 32







I will share every Friday five things.  I will place them in no order of importance, just five things.   I will try not to over-explain.  In fact, I will attempt to explain nothing at all…..

Five favourite people:

1.      My best friend, Tina.  We’ve been best friends for 30 years now.



2.      My husband and my girls, of course



3.      My cousin Otto – I rarely see him anymore, but he’s still one of my favouritest people

Cousins are connected heart to heart distance and time cant keep them apart

4.      My sisters and my brother


5.      Both my parents and my husband’s parents - although my husband's father has passed away

2.      Why did You make the Universe so big?

 How the universe evolved from a super-hot liquid

3.      Why didn’t You give my sister any children?

5.      Is there life on other planets too?

On winning

I'd like to thank the four entries that I had on my giveaway
Marwaan and Inge for their sweet comments on the blog post and Inge and Tarien for tweeting about it.

As there were only four entries, I wrote the names on pieces of paper and had my six-year old choose a slip of paper, and she chose Tarien's name!


I can't wait to give Tarien her new bag!


Congratulations and thanks for your support you guys!!
