A vegetable lover is a person, like me, who loves eating vegetables. Indeed, you can use the word, lover, after most nouns to describe a person’s interests. For example, I’m a music lover, a chocolate lover and a David Beckham lover. What type of lover are you?
To be sick and tired of doing something or of someone is an idiom which means you feel bored and perhaps annoyed. In other words, you are fed up!
For example, these are the things that I’m sick and tired of at the moment:
Drunk people waking me up at 4 in the morning
People asking me if I own a hairbrush
Burning pots and pans
People spitting on the street
Buskers who don’t have any talent
People who shamelessly demonstrate a lack of compassion. (Did you know it’s free?!)
Badly made cocktails
People who have an inability to apologise for bad behaviour
OMG, I feel soooooooooooooooooo much better! Ok, it’s your turn, what are you sick and tired of? Seriously, you will definitely feel fantastic when you get it off your chest.
Learn how to cook 12 new dishes?! No, no and moreover NO!
I get the idea that it could be relaxing, cathartic and enjoyable, but for me, cooking creates lots of washing up and burnt pots and pans. Someone once told me it’s different if you do it with love, but I thought, why don’t you just show me ‘the love’ in a very different way and with a lot of physicality! So, I say forget this goal and try new cuisine every month by going out to a different restaurant, for example, one month try Lebanese, the next month Japanese and so forth. So, what do you think, am I right, or am I right?
A triathlon is a sports event which involves 3 continuous and sequential disciplines. Modern-day triathlons are swim/bike/run events that are done in that order.
Taking part in a triathlon has been on my bucket list for at least 3 years and so far, I’ve done absolutely nothing to prepare for it. Firstly, I don’t own a bike and secondly, when I jump in the water, I sink like a stone which isn’t conducive for competing in an event like this, neither surviving! To add insult to injury, my elder sister has successfully completed two triathlons and my brother is attempting his first in June, with an outdoor swim, in the beautiful location of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. As an aside, if you like classic novels, Chatsworth House, is mentioned in Jane Austin’s romantic book, Pride and Prejudice.
So, the O’Carrolls are a competitive family and at the moment I’m at the bottom of the rubbish tip. So, please give me some advice on how I can prepare for a triathlon and if you would like to train with me, then let me know when we are going to start.
On a final note, a lot of people want to complete a marathon before they die, but I think that running a marathon would definitely kill me! Not to mention an iron man competition!
One of my great passions in life is travelling, and the truth is, I have spent a lot of time living and travelling in different countries. My first big adventure was when I was 18 when I volunteered on a Kibbutz in Israel for a year. During this adventure, I learnt how to cultivate bananas, pick avocados and that looking after children brought me out in a rash! In addition, I fell in love, broke my leg and developed a ‘thing’ for men in uniforms. However, the biggest life lesson I learnt was that tolerance, humility, compassion and hope are by far the most precious of all human inventions. Finally, I also realized that I was always going to have itchy feet.
So, if you don’t have a passport, get, one and if you don’t have a clue where to go then perhaps Lonely Planet could help you, or throw a dart at a map of the world and go wherever destiny takes you. In deed, my sister and I went to The Philippines as a result of watching a video on YouTube. However, our next backpacking trip is going to be to Sri Lanka and India. However, we are open to suggestions, so if you’ve got a better plan, then let me know.
To have itchy feet means to have a strong desire to travel or move from place to place. For example: Janette has extremely itchy feet because she finds it very difficult to stay in one place for a long time. Having said that, I reckon she must be in love because she has been in Málaga for years!
