Love that you also have hated songs - mine include John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Paul McCartney 'Mull of Kintyre'.

I’m going to sit down and read this with a cup of tea! X

This was a fun read! I find baking and cooking to both be relaxing (most of the time-- unless the dish isn't turning out right).

Which is when it becomes very stressful lol.

Fun and interesting facts. I'd like to have a go at the most hated songs list.....Angels by Robbie Williams and I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston, two immediate additions. Happy birthday!

That was a great way to get to know you even more. Well done for coming up with that many facts about yourself! I think I would struggle. LOL Lots of your facts I could've been reading about myself - I can very much relate! Happy Birthday again. I'm ahead of you. My next birthday which is the day after we return from the UK trip ... I will turn 62. I can't believe it!

This was delightful. In many instances, your answers didn't surprise me. Maybe because I feel like I kind of know you through your writing. Congratulations on being an author/writer indeed. Which means you have grown up. At least some!! We don't ever want to be fully grown up, I don't think. Could be really dull. I went down a rabbit hole over your favorite song. Had to see if it was the Edith Piaf song I remembered from the movie "Saving Private Ryan". It is not the same song but I am familiar with it, too. Have never really given much thought to my most hated songs but when I hear them, I know them!!

Happy birthday. May this birthday year bring you much good health, happiness and a whole set of new adventures.

Happy birthday 🄳 loved this very honest and insightful list about yourself. Whilst I’m British born, you appear far more British 🤣

Happy birthday, my fellow Piscean!

I loved learning these things about you, some of which I knew, many I didn't. Can hard relate on many of them ! And how mind-blowing to see Wham! in their heyday.

Happy birthday, and that was a lot of interesting stuff - I don't think I could come up with a quarter of that many facts about myself....you've done very well indeed. x

Happy birthday, Jo and brilliant expose.

We're kindred spirits you know. I could tick an awful lot of those 59's.

Hope we meet up again one day not too far away.

Joanne Tracey's avatar

I think we could be, Prue... Kindred spirits, that is.
