2) My proudest moment was… when my daughter who struggled so much with maths in school consistently achieved over 95% in her nursing calculation exams. She got 100% in her first one and I cried remembering the torment of trying to help her learn in school.

3) I would very much like, once in my life, to have the opportunity to… visit Machu Picchu

4) I once found myself unexpectedly… having to sleep on a traditional Vietnamese bed - a square of very hard wood with a thin blanket over it that I was either allergic to or it was full of insects as I was extremely itchy by the morning!

5) I have decided to make more of an effort to… buy some new clothes. I HATE shopping, especially for clothes, but I can’t keep wearing things that are over a decade old and look it! :joy:
