ailbhe1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I'll reply and give you five questions to answer.
3. You'll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed. And it just keeps going, and going, and going....

1. This is something people always ask me. Where would you ideally like to live? England, Ireland, Sweden, somewhere else?
I don't know. If we leave England, we are most likely to go to Sweden. We're very unlikely to return to Ireland unless something spectacular happens to the public transport and the medical system. But I mostly never, ever want to move house again as long as I live. Urgh.
2. Are you planning to raise L to be bilingual? More than bilingual?
I expect she will be reasonably fluent in at least one other language, but I don't know about truly bilingual - I know we're unlikely to ever have a bilingual household in which we use at least two languages all the time, so a lot will depend on what happens outside our household. She's toddling along to our Swedish lessons, anyway, on those rare occasions when I have not been struck down by a stomach bug and actually attend. Dammit.
3. If you had to choose one book to take to a desert island (a'la Desert Island Discs) which would it be?
Agh! "The Bone People" by Keri Hulme, I think, because it has language lessons and poetry and music and a story and stuff. I think. Ask again next week.
4. If you returned to work, what would you like to do?
If I have to "return to work", a phrase I dislike rather a lot, I will do something unskilled with a fixed shift-end, like stacking shelves or operating a till. However, it's quite likely that I will train as a lactation consultant, or whatever they're called, and volunteer. Does it count as work if no-one's paying me for it? It's not something I'd want to be paid for, I think.
I used to think I'd be a doula, but, uh, not so much any more. Perhaps later I will change my mind.
5. Are you, or have you ever been, vegetarian?
Of course I was - from age 14 to almost 19, I think.
