10 years old. Friends of the family gave us a heavy wooden toboggan. Me and my brother went down the devil's dyke - there's a clue in the name. A steep hill, we went faster and faster until hitting a ridge. I came to a few minutes later with people all around me. My brother was thrown clear into soft snow but I had the toboggan land on my face; had to go to hospital with a fractured cheek bone.
That was my parent's responsibility. Implicit to the question is it's something stupid I've done: when I was 19 my housemate was pretending to stab me with a kitchen knife (flirtatiously y'know) and I instinctively reached out when she got too close. Sliced a bit of thumb skin off, up all night bleeding, the gp put some seaweed stuff on it.
My initial answer is conservatory but in this sort of pact i doubt installation is included. The other day at the garden centre they were selling old display conservatories 'as is' and you had to take them apart, bricks and all, if you wanted one!
So I'm gonna say arbor. There's a spot at the end of the garden where it would be nice.
Holes in jeans. Made sure the thread was a different colour. I like the Japanese idea of kintsugi: The breakage and repair are part of the object and don't need to be concealed.
There's a 12 hour piece by Peter Broderick and David allred for the documentary #monalisa that I like. So I could get the funeral to last annoyingly long in a technicality.
The documentary is oddly fascinating. A day of people looking at the Mona Lisa in the louvre. Barely anyone looks at it. Just taking photos, milling around, otherwise distracted.
1. Five items you are most likely to buy at a convenience store.
Milk, marge, bread, coffee, eggs
Haven't been eating eggs recently though because of indigestion, so maybe painkillers
2. Tell me about the last book you read
Russell Hoban - The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz
A strange dreamlike book about a semi imaginary lion, about becoming an adult, mid life crisis. Memorable.
3. Do you have a favourite postage stamp?
Penny black? I wanted one for a day or so when I tried to collect stamps as a kid.
4. What is your current favourite hobby?
I guess making music, but people pay for my music sometimes so it's not quite a hobby not quite a job
5. Who was the most famous person you shook hands with?
Not sure. I used to be anxious around celebs so wouldn't've proffered a hand. Tina Dico kissed me on the cheek. Jamie Oliver waved a bit of toast at me.
