Major Gardening Blog Faux Pas

To Alice,

My humblest apologies for missing your tag last Monday. I had read your post but somehow missed the word "Stuart" at the bottom of it. Thanks to Kerri for pointing it out to me. So here goes;

What were three things you wanted to be when you grew up?


  1. Fireman, Policeman, Ambulance Driver. This is every little boys dream.

  2. A Chef. I actually did this - leaving school at 15 and doing my apprenticeship. It's a great trade to have behind you.

  3. A Businessman. I remember Mum & Dad taking me into the city one evening when I was about 10 and seeing qall these guys walking around in suits. Oh, to have a suit. This is what I wear now and I'm looking forward to the day I can wear civies all day every day.

You can relive one day from your childhood. Which one will it be?

Only one day. C'mon that's a bit tough. Probably every Sunday afternoon that I played basketball with my mates down at the local Primary School. They had these mini-board rings whichwe could dunk on easily and it was always great fun.

You have two minutes (and a mover with you if you need heavy lifting help!) to grab 5 things from your home before it morphs into a polka dotted hobgoblin and hops away. What will you take? (Food/drink/family/friends excluded).


  1. My laptop

  2. My desktop computer

  3. My PDA

  4. All my books - mostly non-fiction, mostly Christian youth based

  5. All my Carlton gear - posters, scarves, hats, shirts etc

You have to paint one quote on your kitchen wall. What is it going to be?

"Never, never, never give up." Sir Winston Churchill

What is the one thing you want to have accomplished by the end of the year?

Finish building my shed.

You are moving to the moon for one year and can only bring one flower with you. What kind will you bring?

It would definitely have to be a magnolia. The world would be a different place without them so I'm guessing the moon would be too.

You just received word that aside from one flower you can also bring five books with you. Which ones will you bring?


  1. The Bible

  2. My new gardening encyclopedia

  3. "Your God is too Safe" - Mark Buchanan

  4. Any autobiography

  5. A Suduko puzzle book - or crossword's

Stuart,

Tagged? Been there, done that! Or you have to come up with new questions...

P.S. You're overdue for one of your wacky interviews. I miss them! What about interviewing Eddie Everywhere?

Oh, no. I've faux pas'ed again. My apologies Val I shall come up with a new meme for you tomorrow.

On the Eddie McGuire front - could make a good celebrity gardener. I usually do these interviews Saturday mornings but have been too busy the past couple but shall guarantee a new one this weekend. Stay tuned.

Let's hope there are too many books to carry leaving no time to get anything from No. 5.

Stu and val I presume you know Carlton play Geelong in the Harry Potter Cup this Saturday night. You'll both be wanting to devote more time to gardening after that.

PS I know it's the NAB Cup now but I prefer HP.

Well done Stuart! I see you and Val have something in common (Carlton).
No fair taking all your books.
Great quote!
Guess I'll have to try suduko, but I'll have to quit blogging first!

Marcus - It will be you my friend who will be hiding in the garden after Saturday's game.

Kerri - Suduko only sucks you in for a little while and then you're okay.
