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?

I wear comfy slipper boots which I can throw in the washing machine. Bought in Tescos more than 2 years ago. Still look good.

Do you ever keep your dressing gown on in bed?

Kim19 Fri 12-Feb-21 00:21:08

I did recently when I had an early zoom meeting.

If you live alone, do you have proper meals or regular snacks?

hollysteers Fri 12-Feb-21 02:06:44

In the summer months, lots of salads. Now a mixture of fish, ready meals with lots of vegetables and various concoctions.
Sandwiches for lunch. Now widowed after a lifetime of cooking every night, it’s more ad hoc.

How many surgeries have you had?

FannyCornforth Fri 12-Feb-21 02:20:40

None, so far. I feel that I may be making up for it in the coming couple of years though...

Do you miss going out for a meal? It’s what I miss most

FannyCornforth Fri 12-Feb-21 10:41:13

Bellanonna - I'm a bit confused by your answer!
*Molly" - I'm sorry to hear of your Dog. You should get another one.

No, I'm not keen on eating out. I do miss going to the pub though.
Nearly as much as DH and DDog do.

Do you know what your Chinese astrological animal is?

Puzzler61 Fri 12-Feb-21 11:14:53

No but I know it’s now going to be The Year of the Ox.

Do you like jam on toast? Or marmalade?

gulligranny Fri 12-Feb-21 11:21:49

Both - the only marmalade I like is Lemon & Lime, but I also have Ginger Preserve on toast, which is delicious.

Have you ever had a one-night stand?

henetha Fri 12-Feb-21 11:53:00

No, never. And I'm glad I never.

Have you ever painted as a hobby? If so, oils, water-colours or acrylic?

BBbevan Fri 12-Feb-21 13:45:29

Not as a hobby. I went to art school. Used oils.

Do you have a favourite artist ?

hollysteers Fri 12-Feb-21 14:28:32

Monet

Do you wear contact lenses?

Nell8 Fri 12-Feb-21 15:11:26

Glasses, yes.. contacts, no. Always connected them with sore eyes and a major palaver involving lots of paraphernalia. Interesting thought though. Wonder if modern ones would work for me now I'm in my seventies. Do they make varifocal contacts?

Do you know where your stopcock is and could you turn it off in an emergency?

Billybob4491 Fri 12-Feb-21 16:22:12

Bellanonna Fri 12-Feb-21 16:23:35

Fanny - hot water bottle?

nadateturbe Fri 12-Feb-21 16:31:31

No, but my car was broken into and my bag from gym stolen. I had jewellery and a watch in it, and my underwear! And they punched a hole in the lock.

My lounge, more so during lockdown.

EkwaNimitee Fri 12-Feb-21 17:24:19

Not being a Christian, no.

BBbevan Fri 12-Feb-21 18:20:29

No hopeless. I am very cack handed .

I was most pleased with the wood burner yesterday because our heating broke down and it was freezing.

MissAdventure Fri 12-Feb-21 20:01:26

No, I'm far too cowardly and lazy for it to appeal.

Do you like fairground rides?
