Sharing My World 20-04-2026

Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

Can you remember your first date?
No. For me it was usually being in the same place as people and getting to know them over time, it’s hard to pin down an actual first date.


Did you belong to a youth club or similar in your teens?
I was in the Cubs and later the Scouts.


Can you roller skate?
No. I remember once when I was around 12 or so I did try at a friend’s house. It was a pair of those “traditional” roller skates, a metal frame with leather straps. It was terrifying and I didn’t even try to skate anywhere. The moment I put them on my feet went out from under me and I took them off again.


What did you have for breakfast this morning?
I don’t generally eat breakfast. I know, I know, “most important meal of the day” blah-di-blah blah.

    I had those skates and the same thing happened to me. How in the world did anyone stay upright? It’s much easier these days, they give you those walker type things to hold onto so at least you can try to balance.

      I was lucky there was a low wall next to me which helped me sink safely to the ground.

    That little breakfast rule was the bane of my existence when I was growing up. My mother took it very seriously. 😒 First taste of freedom in college was skipping breakfast. Turns out cereal companies and their hired nutritional “experts” lobbied governments for that particular rule to be disseminated as dietarily valid.

      That sounds about right. I really struggle to eat breakfast. Maybe a banana.

    No breakfast? What happened to “Be Prepared”?

    Same thing happened to me with roller skates. After falling twice I gave up.
    Breakfast is my best meal of the day! 🙂

    Thanks for joining in again this week. My roller skated fitted over my shoes and were awkward and heavy. Not my best move sitting down to stop!

      I remember those. Maybe I just have no sense of balance.

        I was the same with a push bike. Feel safer on three or four wheels!

      Bacon comes for an evening meal. Very occasionally as part of a Full English breakfast, but that’s very rare these days for me.

    Oh, Granny remembers those rollerskates..but thank Cat she did well on them😸When she was older she got herself the ones with the shoes, like ice-skates and now she has fear of heights when she puts them on😹 #4 ‘they say’ but we believe that your own tummy knows what’s best😸More Pawkisses just for you🐾😘💞
