"FAVOURITE"

My favourite things change depending upon the circumstances.
Take my favourite song...I love "Pleasure & Pain" if I am in the car by myself where I can turn the volume up full bore and blast it out whilst singing along...at full volume as well! I did try it a few times while the kids were in the car but Jake used to do that, "Mum, don't sing!" thing whenever it was my turn to sing the chorus! Can't understand why!
But, if I am sitting quietly at home I like listening to a variety of favourites such as Billy Joel or Rod Stewart or Dr Hook (showing my age here aren't I?) I enjoy Jason Mranz and Elton John. There are lots of songs I like but not being very musical I couldn't tell you who sings them.
If I am gardening or doing something mundane like painting I like listening to some Strauss.
It really does change with the situation.
About 25 years ago I read a book called "The Bone Collector". I still count it as one of my favourites, only because it stuck in my head for so long. I have always loved murder mysteries but since Jake's death I find myself sticking to more mushy things which were never previously in my repertoire. I just can't hack the deaths involved in my once-favourites. Now, I am enjoying a run of Nora Robb books and have even ventured into some fantasies. So you see, even favourite books are circumstantial.
My favourite colours are Autumn colours such as burgundy and burnt orange.
My favourite thing to teach is Maths. I was an ok Maths student at school, never brilliant and I didn't take it through to Year 12. But, teaching it at Primary level is fun! I rarely have the kids doing written computations but just love the activities and games which allow kids to see maths as fun!
My favourite people are, of course, my husband, my beautiful girl, my angels and my family and friends. They are my world!
