Friday Five: When was the last time you...

1. ...sent a handwritten letter?
I can't remember. I got one recently, though, from my Grandma. So I'm going to write her back. I've sent some hand-written cards recently too.

2. ...baked something from scratch or made something by hand?
I bake lots from scratch (as my former co-workers can attest). I think the most recent was cookies with mini M-M's in them a few weeks ago. As for "making something"... Remember the quilt?

3. ...camped in a tent?
Oh man. Ages and ages ago. I think when I went to Cedar Point with some friends during one of our college summer holidays. Must've been five years ago. (I'm not a big fan of roughing it.)

4. ...volunteered your time to church, school, or community?
I don't belong to a church. Schools in England and Australia generally don't have to have bake sales just to stay afloat, so there's not a lot of opportunity for volunteerism there. So that leaves community. Well, I try to donate blood whenever I can. The last time was in London back in August of last year. Does that count?

5. ...helped a stranger?
I helped a lady who was lost in Central Sydney the other day. (There's nothing that makes you feel more like a local than giving somebody directions.) And according to the certificate on my fridge, the Snook and I helped lots of strangers in poor nations when we did the Walk Against Want in March.

Well, I helped out with the play and manned their booth at Festival Day. I guess that counts. :)

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
