Scatterday Q



Todays Scatterdays is brought to you by the letter Q  and has four catagories


Plant   

Quercus Robur or English Oak Tree, as a child we had one growing in the back yard in Neutral Bay ; it was grown from an acorn from a special tree in the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney (planted in 1935 on the 21st anniversary of the Battle of Mons).I have searched through old photos and I found this one of me on my third birthday playing under the tree as I did for most of childhood.



Night time

This is my favourite television viewing each night - QI and I assume that the ABC will soon change that frequency now that the non-ratings period is about to end.

 
 
 

 

Something healthy

 
 
I only started using Quinoa this year but I do like salad made with it.
 

 

Something that is quilty and quick

 
 
I love my accuquit and it's the quickest and most accurate way to cut two and a half inch strips,squares and half square triangles.

  1. Q has been a challenge, hasn't it!

    Clever to think of QI! Didn't occur to me, but I watch it each night too.

  2. Your childhood photo is wonderful as is the history of the tree. QI is also a favourite here but I hope they release a new series soon.
