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?

Kim19 Sun 07-Feb-21 02:48:01

It's a close run thing but probably my engagement ring because the circumstances around it were quite insane in the happiest of ways.

Are you mentallly toying with any sort of holiday?

nanna8 Sun 07-Feb-21 03:44:43

Yes and we’ve booked for August this year and hope we are ok by then. Up to the Kimberleys.

Are you doing more cooking in lockdown ?

henetha Sun 07-Feb-21 11:26:17

No, not really. I've lost my apetite.

Do you go out and enjoy the snow or stay in to avoid it?

Bellanonna Sun 07-Feb-21 14:59:08

There’s a bitterly cold nip in the air so I’m staying indoors

Apart from family contact what do you most miss during lockdown?

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sun 07-Feb-21 15:58:20

The freedom to go out for inessential things^ without breaking the law.

In your opinion which actor and actress have the most pleasant voices?

Nanny27 Sun 07-Feb-21 16:07:37

John Nettles has a lovely voice.

Which well known person who has died in the past 12 months do you miss the most?

FannyCornforth Sun 07-Feb-21 16:09:40

Roger Allam and Juliet Stevenson ( this is not an opinion, it's a fact!grin)

What have you 'inherited' from your parents, looks and personality wise?

hollysteers Sun 07-Feb-21 16:55:02

Dark looks, family legend of Italian blood, hot temper.

Do you have nosey neighbours?

FannyCornforth Mon 08-Feb-21 05:28:45

Not particularly. One side are lovely and might be a bit nosey, but in a nice way. The other side are mad and a nuisance tbh!

What would your specialist subject be on Mastermind?

nanna8 Mon 08-Feb-21 05:32:48

Probably something to do with history

Have you ever been fishing ?

FannyCornforth this is a great thread, thanks

FannyCornforth Mon 08-Feb-21 06:19:32

Ah, thank you nanna8, that's very kind of you smile

No, I haven't. I would not like to either as I wouldn't want to hurt the fish. I can appreciate that's it's very relaxing though. Like meditation or mindfulness even.

Which is your favourite Disney film?

Puzzler61 Mon 08-Feb-21 08:20:45

There are many modern Disney films that are amazing but I love the early, magical Bambi.

What was the last film you watched? (on TV is fine as we can’t go out).

Billybob4491 Mon 08-Feb-21 08:25:01

I watched Grease on dvd yesterday, my all time favourite.

What lifts your spirits at this time of the year?

henetha Mon 08-Feb-21 10:26:25

Watching spring bulbs pushing through the soil

Do you know the names of many kinds of clouds?

nanna8 Mon 08-Feb-21 10:29:10

Three different ones offhand

Do you ever go to a gym? ( when allowed!)

hollysteers Mon 08-Feb-21 11:35:19

No, but after this rather lazy lockdown p, I fancy a programme tailored to me (and my abilities!) as a bit thicker round the middle. I walk, cycle and dance around the house for exercise.

Have you made a will?

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 08-Feb-21 13:39:22

Yes, about a decade ago - it probably needs to be looked at again.

Have you ever been sacked from a job?

Nell8 Mon 08-Feb-21 17:27:29

Only voluntary ones helping husband with DIY. I moan too much apparently.

Do you have a favourite tree?

FannyCornforth Mon 08-Feb-21 18:20:18

Weeping willow and lilac, they both remind me of my childhood, for different reasons

What is the first thing that you remember reading?

BBbevan Mon 08-Feb-21 18:20:49

Yes a Rowan ....keeps the witches away

Do you have a favourite fairy story character?

BBbevan Mon 08-Feb-21 18:21:35

Janet and John.
? As above

hollysteers Mon 08-Feb-21 18:28:10

The Witch in Hansel & Gretel, as I have played her onstage!

Would you ever consider remarrying? (if widowed, divorced etc)

Bellanonna Mon 08-Feb-21 22:52:33

Not at my age, no

Do you ever practise meditation/mindfulness?

nadateturbe Tue 09-Feb-21 00:19:42

Yes I would recommend it.

What is the first thing you will buy when none essential shopping is allowed?

nadateturbe Tue 09-Feb-21 07:50:00

Non essential
