I saw [personal profile] spiffikins call this 'Old People's Meme' and I'm going to answer a few questions every couple of days:

What was the first piece of furniture you bought?

Bought? Probably the Apple IIe computer from work with modem capabilities and I used it for uni and writing.

Might have been the tallboy (multi-drawer set of drawers) that held my clothes for, oh, a couple of decades, and the bookshelf. I still have the bookshelf, but we sold the dresser when we moved out of the old house.

Or else it might have been the couch set, which were 2nd hand, foam, and sooooo incredibly comfy for sitting on, flopping over, sprawling on, or cannibalising the big, puffy back-and-arm cushions.


What proportion of your meals do you cook?

Between 60-80%? Right now, there's a lot more buying of pre-prepped food because I simply can't be bothered half the time, but at the height of things, at least 80%.


Favourite chore?

None of them. That's why they're chores.


Least favourite chore?

All of them. But probably cleaning toilets. Oh, I know. Mopping floors. It's just such a huge inconvenience, and you have to get everything up, and then there's the whole issue of whether or not the damn thing is clean. Changing the water out, making sure that the mop gets all the things and doesn't just move them around to elsewhere. Awkward and not!fun.


Most precious thing one of your pets has destroyed?

Can't think of anything right now. Something they've peed on? Lounge room curtains, perhaps? A box of fabric? Don't think they've ever been given the opportunity to break anything. They've destroyed couch corners, but also we deliberately get old couches (and we keep our couches for a long time). My bedroom door has a series of scratches on it thanks to the cats clawing to be allowed in...

Cake? Mal once munched on a brown butter cake I made for bible study...

I hear you on the mopping. It usually goes hand in hand with vacuuming.
