My favourite things

Helen from Crispy Confessions nominated me to write a post about all my favourite things according to the letters of the alphabet. It’s a bloggers challenge and I’ll also be tagging other people to take part.

A – Apples

I especially love Granny Smith apples. I like that they’re crunchy and sour – yum.

B – Books

I love big books, and I cannot lie! I love writing so I love reading and vice versa. I’m always up for a good story (no matter the format, if I’m honest).

C – Cartoons

I have loved cartoons since I was a child. I’d get up early on a Saturday morning and watch all the cartoon on TV. Afterward, I’d get post adrenaline depression, like ‘what am I supposed to do with my life now?’ If I catch SpongeBob SquarePants or Pokémon on TV, I’ll still sit down and watch it. Why? Because I’m not dead on the inside (yet).

D – Dogs

What’s not to love. They’re fluffy and lovable fur babies. I love them so much that I post about them on this blog.

E – Eating

My love of eating unhealthy food is the reason I gained so much weight during lockdown. The kitchen is never far away when you work from home.

F – Foxes

They are so majestic. I developed a bit of an obsession with them after reading The little prince. Obviously, the fox is my favourite character.

G – Gingers

My boyfriend is a ginger. Gingers add spice to your life.

H – The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy

It’s my absolute favourite book ever. It’s quirky and outrageous but just the best.

I – Inception

It’s one of my favourite movies. I guess it’s because it’s about dreams and dreaming and I have really weird ones.

J – Jokes

I especially love dad jokes and puns. Oh, the little joys in life.

K – Karate

Want to learn how to defend yourself and feel like a total badass? Karate is for you. Also, contrary to popular belief, you can start at any age. Karate is for everyone.

L – Lists

I love lists. They give me the illusion that I have my life in order. In all honesty, it’s nice to get my thoughts down on paper so I know what I have to do, or buy, etc.

M – Malva pudding

It’s a South African dessert. It has a sponge-like look, but it’s dripping in syrup, and you eat it with custard.

N – Naps

I love an afternoon nap.

O – Overcoming obstacles

It’s all about hard work and believing in yourself. You are whatever you commit to (Paulo Coelho).

P – People watching

It’s like watching wildlife.

Q – Quesadillas

It depends on where you eat it. There’s one particular restaurant that gets it just right.

R – Random questions

I enjoy asking my boyfriend and best friend weird questions, like, “Do deaf people know that a fart makes a sound?” or “Do you think giraffes can burp with those long necks?”

S – Stand-up comedy

I love that stand-up comedians can find the humorous in the everyday. It’s something that I strive to.

T – Tacos

Tacos that you build yourself are the best.

U – Unicorns

Anything with a unicorn on is something I want.

V – Vetkoek

I’m not sure if it’s a proudly South African dish, but we love our vetkoek. Translated into English vetkoek is ‘fat cake’. It’s basically a flour based batter that you fry in oil and then it’s an oily bun thingy. It’s amazing. We like to put beef mince in it.

W – Writing

I feel like this doesn’t need explaining. Writing has infinite possibilities, what’s not to love?

X – Xylophones

Because I couldn’t think of another word that starts with X.

Y – Yogurt

I love yogurt but it makes my sinus problem worse. I also like the smooth ones without the fruit pieces in.

Z – Zebras

Is it a horse? Is it a barcode? It’s a bit of both!

There you go, those are some of my favourite things.
