New Lockdown Special Edition: Ask the Person Below You a Question!

A lark

Do you like wet weather ?

Plus fours and a deerstalker hat.

Are you a lark or an owl?

Yes if I have to, but hopefully never again.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen someone wearing on a lockdown walk?

No, too cowardly...

Can you change a wheel on your car?

Yes. I had them done quietly when I was about 20. My mother thought pierced ears common.

Have you any other part pierced?

Oil of Olay (Ulay - whatever) is great, nice and light.

Are your ears pierced?

Half full, even overflowing usually, but in these strange times, nearly empty.
nanna8 answer, Italy.

Do you have a favourite face cream?

No never Fanny I saw the damage caused by smoking to my family as a child , vowed never to smoke.

Is your glass half full or half empty?

Yes! I stopped smoking about six or seven years ago. I can't believe that I smoked - I hated it.

Have you ever smoked?

Popeye and Olive Oyl.

Have you managed overcome a bad habit? I have

Nothing small, ie no phobias.
But all of the biggies: loss, grief etc.
I've got GAD, so pretty much in a constant state of fear!

Favourite cartoon or cartoon character?

Men in masks with guns

Which country would you visit first after lockdown is over?

Anna Maria island, Florida. The beach was divine and full of shells.

What scares you?

Apologies for omission!

Favourite holiday ever?

Gigantic Bentley when my boss took poorly and I took over. Gadzooks, I was nervous and never so glad as to get him and the beloved limo into his driveway and the capable hands of his wife. I'll stick to little and loved thanks. Phew.

Not really. I keep an eye on the old folk but I’m very guilty of noticing all the people who go for walks past the end of our drive.

What’s the most exciting car you’ve driven?

je parle un peu français.
I rate my ability less than 1 out of 10.

Are you a nosy neighbour?

No I have a duvet

Do you speak another language and if so how do you rate your fluency?

Not much. Only for Spanish classes online.

Do you use sheets and blankets?

Annoyingly it’s cream with a white pvc frame, the double glazing company asked me whether it was all right. I must have been having a weak moment. The only person to comment was eagle-eyed perfectionist DD!

How much do you use Zoom?

I feel more that way on Mumsnet as the forum users are younger and therefore have less experience of life - which I think gives them a less than kind perspective.

What colour is your front door?

Not actual depression but feel low and anxious sometimes especially at the moment!
Do you sometimes start a post on GN and halfway through think no can’t be a***d probably get flamed anyway.

Yes, in a music review.

Do you get periods of depression?

Yes - turned up full blast while I'm ironing

Have you ever been mentioned in a national newspaper?

Yes in our own pool at night where no one can see- guess that might be cheating.

Do you like classical music ?
