Hello, I’m in a really good mood today,

the sun is out and that always brings a smile to my face. How are you feeling today?

I’m feeling stressed due to a lot of work.

I’m feeling quite happy and confident, the weather certainly helps,

it’s a bright sunny day, so I’m feeling quite optimistic.

I’m excited about my project for school,

we are doing a documentary on film.

Feeling pretty good. I’m feeling good because I’m on a day

out with my friend and we are having a fun time.

Very happy very relaxed, we have a day off my wife and I.

I’ve had a good start to my day, I woke up early and had a good breakfast

so I suppose I’m feeling well balanced and optimistic about my afternoon.

Today’s a good day visiting from New York.

Really good, it’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and I’m just wandering about London, it’s nice.

Would you describe yourself as an optimist or a pessimist?

One hundred per cent optimist, I think that you always have to look on the bright side,

and I know it’s cheesy but it’s best to think of what you can do, not what you could have done.

I think I’m an optimist, I think generally I look on the bright side.

hopefully I see the best in people, I don’t expect bad, you know, disasters or to be let down in things

I’d say I swing between the two, I mean I’m pretty optimistic about myself.

I’m very optimistic, whenever I get in a tricky situation,

I might get a bit frustrated at first but I always manage

to pull myself through and think of the positives.

I consider myself to be more of a functional pessimist,

I do tend to plan in case of the worst case,

but more often than not I’m happy and surprised when things go well.

Probably an optimist but I like to be realistic about things and then I’m not disappointed.

I think I’m an optimist.

What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this year?

The best thing that’s happened to me in the last twelve months,

is the success of the business my wife and I opened in Oxford last June.

The best thing that’s happened to me this year is the

success I’ve had in the garden growing vegetables and flowers.

I got all distinctions, all distinction stars and a-stars in my last project in art.

I went to Canada to visit my father with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago,

that was really nice, we got to see lots of amazing sights.

Getting into university. It was really difficult because there was a lot of applicants,

a very high standard and I managed to get a spot.

I met my boyfriend, well I didn’t meet him, actually, I met him years ago

but we got together and became a couple which is good.

So, I think that is the best thing that’s happened, this year for me.

The best thing that happened to me this year was

getting a job as a trainee solicitor at a firm in London.

I’m really excited about it, it’s very difficult to get into, and it’s like the culmination of a lot of hard work

over a long time, and so I’m really happy about it.
