Ask the person below you a Question

[everywhichway]

We've not had one of these for some time now!

Anyone up for another?

Yes, a fair bit of fruit. No veg though.

What are your pet hates?

Leftists, wokeness, my crochet hook disappearing into thin air as I work on something.

Are you good at time keeping?

Very good I'm always punctual

Do you have any health conditions that worry you?

Dodgy right knee that keeps dislocating, cysts on my ovaries that are getting bigger, up and down mental health with ptsd, very high BMI

If you could do a do over of one event in your life what would it be?

When my mum was dying. I would be less of a coward.

What scares you most about life?

Family and pets dying prematurely.

You can have your dream house for free on the condition that for the next three years you are an exotic dancer/stripper three nights a week. Yes or no?

I might but I don’t think there’d be many paying customers 🤣

Do you like picnics?

Preferably with Bollinger Champagne!

Do you like wearing summer dresses?

....and without the wasps I guess, Starlight.

Summer dresses are not really my thing.

What cheers you up when you're feeling blue?

I don’t feel blue or down as I have a good life but I do worry about elderly family sometimes so I try to focus on remembering happy memories rather than dwelling on their poor health.

Hot air balloon or helicopter ride over somewhere scenic?

Hot air balloon. Helicopters just scare me!

Sky dive or bungy jump?

Sky Dive. My aunt was clear doe over five years from breast cancer then was holidaying in Australia and foolishly got talked into doing a bungee jump and within a a couple of weeks her breast cancer had returned and rapidly went global and she died.

We believe that the bungee jump was a tremendous shock on her body ( she was in her 50s). That’s just our theory.

Do you hand write much these days and if so do you have a lovely pen?

Only writing notes in my work diary so I dont forget to do things. I currently use the bic pens which can be changed between 4 colours and are a novelty for me again at the minute. My memory has been terrible since having DC and I need to write things down before I forget them.

Do you have any pets? If not, would you like one?

@marmaladehound

I used to do parachute jumping as a sport, then later went on a hot airballoon ride and it made me, ummm, a bit anxious 🤣
helicopters for me, any day!

we have 2 chickens, Bingo & Coco.
I'd love a Rhodesian Ridgeback but not ready for it.

could you sew a piece of clothing to save your life?

Does sewing buttons on count? Done a few of those.

Your biggest fashion disaster?

Every single day of my teenage years was a fashion disaster! Think purple polka dot rara skirt, ripped jeans so my bum was pretty much hanging out, awful haircuts, baseball bomber jackets... the list goes on. Happily I was totally oblivious and thought I was just too cool! Now I don't follow fashion at all, so no room for any disasters

Absence makes the heart grow fonder or out of sight, out of mind? Which one do you believe?

Plasters.

No idea what PWR is!

Beards - do you love or loathe them?

Luckily I don't have a beard -yet-so hard to judge!

Who were you most pleased to meet up with again when lockdown restrictions lifted?

My sister.

Best thing that has happened to you this month?

Seeing the sea again.

Favourite current tv programme?

Black-ish.

There’s a knock at the door. When you open it, it’s Death. Do you offer him:

(a) a game of chess, or
(b) a cup of tea and a Hob-Nob?

No tea kept in this house and no hob nobs either. I wouldn’t fancy taking him on in a game of chess so perhaps a compromise of some cherry juice and a game of Ludo will suffice.

What food product do you hate so much that even for £1 million you would not be able to eat?

I'd really struggle to keep down ice cream or coke.

When was your favourite ever christmas, and why was it your favourite?

This is going to sound very weird but my best ever Christmas was when I was 18 and worked Christmas Day at an old people’s home. It would take too long to explain why but it was at least partly because I had some stuff to work through and I love snow, laundry and ironing.

Have you been disappointed by this summer’s weather?
