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?

twinnytwin Wed 13-Jan-21 13:20:09

Collecting it is so labour intensive as it's the three little stamens of crocuses.

If you could have a superpower what would it be?

Puzzler61 Wed 13-Jan-21 16:19:33

The power of healing. I could beam it to sufferers of painful and incurable conditions - and cure them all.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

FannyCornforth Wed 13-Jan-21 16:29:30

Ah, Puzzler, I love your superpower.
Definitely. It's so arrogant to think that 'this' is all there is to it.

Tell me your 3 top dream dinner party guests.

FannyCornforth Wed 13-Jan-21 16:30:16

Top. Three. Dinner. In that order!

MrsPickle Wed 13-Jan-21 16:58:08

Barak Obama, Greta Thunberg and Paul McCartney.

What would you serve for dinner?

FannyCornforth Thu 14-Jan-21 06:38:12

Well, it would have to be vegetarian for Paul and me, I'm not sure about Barack, and I expect that Greta is vegan.
Maybe a stew or a moussaka type dish.
Dessert would be Swedish glace.
Lots of wine.

If you could have any creature for a pet, which would you choose?

Puzzler61 Thu 14-Jan-21 07:51:12

Always a cat. I’ve had cats literally all my life.

On TV, which sport do you watch mostly?

Billybob4491 Thu 14-Jan-21 07:56:04

Definately football (Arsenal it has to be)



Is anyone always on a permanent diet?

FannyCornforth Thu 14-Jan-21 10:42:49

Well, Billybob, I can't answer for everyone, but I'm certainly not.

Who is your favourite fictional character?

Puzzler61 Thu 14-Jan-21 11:09:34

Mr Tom in Goodnight Mr Tom. He opens his home and his heart to a young evacuee during WW2. (won’t say more - don’t want to spoil).

Did you ever take photo’s with a Polaroid instamatic camera?

hollysteers Thu 14-Jan-21 14:47:59

Yes, a thousand years ago, The photos faded I remember.

Will you watch President Biden being sworn in?

Billybob4491 Thu 14-Jan-21 16:24:47

Absolutely not

Will you book a holiday this year?

threexnanny Thu 14-Jan-21 16:29:24

The holiday I booked last year was postponed to this year, but still not certain it will happen. Short breaks in UK might be possible though.

What are you reading at the moment and do you recommend it?

FannyCornforth Thu 14-Jan-21 19:35:01

I'm reading Mary L Trump's book about her Uncle Donald.
Yes, I definitely recommend it.
It's only 99p for the kindle edition.
I get the feeling that Billybob may not enjoy it though.

What really gets on your nerves?

Nana3 Fri 15-Jan-21 01:21:45

Not much really, one thing is when Boris Johnson comes on the television, everything about him gets on my nerves. I have to turn the sound down.

What do you do if you can't sleep?

FannyCornforth Fri 15-Jan-21 06:42:42

Ha ha - I think that you might already know the answer to that question already! Faff about on here; try and fail to read something properly; drink Ovaltine and scoff biscuits; listen to the very depressing radio...

Do you have vivid dreams and/or nightmares?

Kim19 Fri 15-Jan-21 06:55:43

Not suspect to any sensational dreams normally but had a couple of whoppers recently which I put down to my best friend being very sick and my head was all over the place. She is slightly better, thank heavens.

Have you had your jab or a prospective date for it?

FannyCornforth Fri 15-Jan-21 06:59:37

No. I'm not even on the list (49 in a few days.)
I'm hoping that I might get one a bit sooner due to being a teacher, or maybe due to being a carer.

Same question as Kim -
What's your situation vaccine wise?

Puzzler61 Fri 15-Jan-21 07:46:45

I think I’ll be group 4.

Exactly which day is your birthday - to Fanny?

Which is your favourite flower?

FannyCornforth Fri 15-Jan-21 07:52:48

It's on Tuesday Puzzler smile

Oh so many!
Anemones, peonies, heritage chrysanthemums, orchids... I don't know!

Who's your favourite (visual) artist?

henetha Fri 15-Jan-21 11:08:13

Hard to say as I like so many. Maybe David Hockney.
Also Lowry. And I like Beryl Cook's comical paintings.

Do you wear a vest?

lemongrove Fri 15-Jan-21 12:20:47

Not since I was about 10.

Do you cook every meal from scratch?

BBbevan Fri 15-Jan-21 14:29:07

Yes I mostly cook from scratch being a low-carver. Now and then we have a take-away, possibly 2-3 times a year.

Did you ever have a crush on a teacher or tutor?

BBbevan Fri 15-Jan-21 14:29:31

Low- carber

hollysteers Fri 15-Jan-21 14:34:55

Yes, my art tutor and had a fling with him? (After college) ?
