P - Pet Peeve: not sure that I have any of these really
Q - Quote from a movie: "I hardly ever watch movies so ……asked my little sister who happened to call and she said “I don’t know – will have to get back to you”!!!!   Must be a genetic defect here.
R - Right handed or left: Right

V - Vegetable you dislike: None that I can think of - I love my vegetables
W - Workout Style: Half hour fast walk up the local mountain (oops read hill for that although it is called Mt Eden) first thing in the morning and a further half hour at my local Curves every night after work.
Y - Yummy food you make: I love both baking and cooking but won’t be winning Masterchef any time soon.My Ginger Crunch has been known to collect compliments
X - XRAYS you've had:  it feels like a gazillion and the stack of them is several inches high but the ones I love the most are the regular chest xrays which show up my pacemaker and the helpful radiologist says "you've got a pacemaker in your right upper chest"   -  isn't it lovely of them to tell me this!
Z - The best place to visit: For you? New Zealand, of course! For me? I have a notebook full of my “must see +must do +must eat” in the UK and hope to do the grand tour when I retire in 9 years time. Yes – I’m counting down already.

And now you know my ABC won't you join this game with me.   Leave me a message so I can visit your blog and get to know you too.
Well, that's it for tonight - I'm off to wash my dinner dishes and settle down for some serious stitching.   Tonight I conquer the England section of HCS.
 
Good night all.
