3 Topics Meme
Jun. 24th, 2019 09:15 amRules:
Those who wish to participate will say so, and I will give them three topics, or spheres of interests, which I think they are not interested in, or maybe I would be even surprised to learn that they have an affinity with. It would be curious to learn who will be more surprised, those who hear what people think they are not interested in or cannot do, or those who learn that their expectations of people are either incorrect or spot on.

envelope
I so rarely send letters these days and when I do, it's nearly always work related and boring envelopes, but I do love those fancy coloured ones that come in letter writing sets.
Through many moves and decluttering, I've thrown away all of my writing sets but I still have a love for those little coordinating note pads and envelopes, all in pretty colours and motifs. I don't use them -- hence the culling -- but I love them like other people love craft supplies.
bamboo
One of the coolest things that I remember about visiting Hong Kong was the way bamboo was used as scaffolding for various big construction projects. Here, scaffolding is always, always made of metal but that was a weirdly cool difference.
As a plant, I like bamboo as a screening option -- I'd actually like to use it down the side of our house to screen the kitchen window -- but I don't trust it not to spread like a noxious weed.
As a potplant, I once accidentally left a potted bamboo in a cupboard for months. (It had been put down while unpacking after a move and forgotten.) I think I might be the only person who's actually managed to kill bamboo.
bicycle
I had a bike as a kid, but I honestly don't think I've been on one since I was 17-ish. (We moved interstate and had to cull. I wasn't a huge fan of bikes in general and suddenly we were living in a much bigger city, so I don't think we replaced them. Hm.) I do have a very clear memory of riding my bike down suburban streets when I was around 7 and enjoying the sense of movement and rush of wind.
