Hello Everyone! smile

Thank you for joining in with the last ATPBYAQ flowers

Welcome to a new Lockdown Special - ask the person below you a question!

Questions can be related to 'the current climate' or, if you are heartily sick to death of all that, can be to do with anything at all.

Q: What is your favourite thing about lockdown?

Nannan2 Fri 15-Jan-21 14:39:48

My answer to Holly
I wash my hair every other day, regardless of lockdown.

Do you have any idea what Nannan2 (the above poster) was on about?

lemongrove Sat 16-Jan-21 23:07:19

Not a clue ?

Do you use mascara?

tinaf1 Sat 16-Jan-21 23:10:40

Yes usually but I reckon it must have dried out now haven’t used any makeup since lockdown.
Do you find every day the same since lockdown or does weekend still feel like the weekend

BBbevan Sun 17-Jan-21 18:55:31

Everyday is the same. We often have to check to find out what day it actually is.

On what day were you born ?

FannyCornforth Sun 17-Jan-21 23:48:41

Same here BBbevan I only know it's the weekend because the newspapers are different as is what's on the radio.
I was born on a Wednesday - full of woe.

Do you have any heirlooms? (Just noticed what an odd word that is! smile)

MiniMoon Mon 18-Jan-21 00:08:49

I have my Granny's china tea set. It was her wedding present.
DH inherited an oak dresser, must be 200 years old.

Where did you meet your husband?

Mollygo Mon 18-Jan-21 00:21:49

We met at a Uni dance in Liverpool.

Does your daughter/granddaughter tell you which make up to buy?

FannyCornforth Mon 18-Jan-21 00:26:59

I don't have either!

At what age do you think that you were happiest?

hollysteers Mon 18-Jan-21 00:36:16

36 (the age Bette Davis said ageing should stop)

Who is your favourite author?

FannyCornforth Mon 18-Jan-21 00:52:46

Ooh Holly that's a good quote. She also said that 'old age isn't for cissies', which I have to keep reminding my Nan

Craig Brown. He's a genius.
And I've been waiting for years for Zoe Heller to write another book, but I don't think that she will.
Same question as Holly - favourite author?

henetha Mon 18-Jan-21 11:23:58

Lots really, but if I have to say one ... Daphne Du Maurier.

Do you have a holly tree in your garden, or go out and pick holly at Christmas?

BBbevan Mon 18-Jan-21 15:11:48

Yes we have three. One variegated, two dark green.

Have you tried to grow mistletoe.?

Puzzler61 Mon 18-Jan-21 15:14:36

No but I saw a bundle of it growing quite low by the path on yesterday’s walk. Still a few berries on too.

What do you on Monday’s - anything specific?

WOODMOUSE49 Mon 18-Jan-21 15:19:21

No - would like to but the plant is 'hemiparasitic', which means it takes some of its food from another plant. `Birds are good at spreading the seeds around onto host trees.

What's the last film you watched?

threexnanny Mon 18-Jan-21 17:21:47

Downton Abbey film - again !

What is the furthest you've traveled in one trip?

FannyCornforth Mon 18-Jan-21 18:12:11

Goa. I'm not well travelled.
Goa. Greece. France. That's it, 'abroad' wise.

Who would you like to look like?

Casdon Mon 18-Jan-21 20:59:26

Angeline Jolie - if only.

What was your first alcoholic drink as a teenager?

lemongrove Mon 18-Jan-21 21:04:26

Bacardi and coke

Do you like cats?

morethan2 Mon 18-Jan-21 21:20:48

Not really but my sons loved them, so we had two while they were growing up. When our first cat died we put him in a box in the shed until we decided what to do. My youngest son refused to leave the shed so we left him. Sometime later I went to ask him to come out. I looked through the window and my son had the box on his knee. There were great big tears running down his face falling on the dead cats body and it’s fur was soaking wet. The image has stayed with me for over 30 years. It was so sad

morethan2 Mon 18-Jan-21 21:22:09

Oops sorry the question. What was your first pet

lemongrove Mon 18-Jan-21 21:46:20

A goldfish ( from the rag and bone man, and it lasted for about a month.) What a very sad tale morethan2 and what a lovely little boy.

Do you have brown eyes?

MissAdventure Mon 18-Jan-21 23:09:45

No, they're blue.

Have you ever done anything illegal?

hollysteers Tue 19-Jan-21 01:26:40

Yes, over the limit in charge (but not driving) a car a thousand years ago. Practically teetotal now, prefer a cuppa.

Have had, or would consider cosmetic surgery?

FannyCornforth Tue 19-Jan-21 04:26:29

No I haven't and I wouldn't.
Morethan2 sad

Who was your 'idol' when you were a teenager?
