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?

Puzzler61 Mon 15-Mar-21 12:22:54

No, never.
And yes please, to another thread Fanny.

FannyCornforth Mon 15-Mar-21 12:17:23

I'm afraid so. I was in my late teens in the early 90s and it was pretty much unavoidable, and I was friends with a some very strong characters, if you know what I mean.
I had some good experiences but mostly awful ones.
I can't believe that I wasn't too scared to take them - I'm by nature very nervous and a worrier. I
It's scary how risk averse you are at that age.

Same question as above!
I'm not going to be the only one to answer that!

Yes, please, Fanny we'd love another thread.

Have you ever taken recreational drugs?

FannyCornforth Mon 15-Mar-21 11:58:38

No I haven't been to either

Do you think that I should start a new thread when this one is full?
There are only 3 more posts left to go!

I tried again recently and it resembled a house building brick.

Have you been to the dentist or opticians recently and did you feel safe?

Puzzler61 Mon 15-Mar-21 07:57:55

No sadly not. All e mails and WhatsApp messages now.

Do you bake your own bread?

Nell8 Sun 14-Mar-21 23:03:07

Yes, after years of practising.

Do you send many handwritten letters to friends and family?

hollysteers Sun 14-Mar-21 21:45:17

Tulips.

Are you green fingered?

BBbevan Sun 14-Mar-21 19:18:07

Loads. Daffodils, celandine, snowdrops, camellias, daisies, wood anemone, hyacinth and hellebores

Do you have a favourite spring flower?

Mollygo Sun 14-Mar-21 17:50:08

Yes, piano, flute and ukulele.

Which flowers are out already near where you live?

Grany Sun 14-Mar-21 16:54:51

Streaks haha

Grany Sun 14-Mar-21 16:53:08

Do you dye your hair?
No used to now I like it natural grey with white steaks


Donyou play a musical instrument

grandMattie Sun 14-Mar-21 16:43:42

Thoughtfulness

Do you dye your hair?

Patsy70 Sun 14-Mar-21 16:39:02

No, not since it all went peculiar. We were avid fans before then.

What do you consider to be your strongest characteristic?

Billybob4491 Sun 14-Mar-21 16:23:10

The sixties for me were FANTASTIC

Does anyone still listen to the Archers on the radio?

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sun 14-Mar-21 15:11:21

Yes, I love goats cheese.

Were the 60s all it was cracked up to be?

grandMattie Sat 13-Mar-21 18:20:14

Love it.

Do you like goats cheese?

BBbevan Sat 13-Mar-21 16:37:21

I may get to see my DD. We can go local now instead of stay home.

Do you like having flowers as gifts?

Kim19 Sat 13-Mar-21 16:28:50

Lovely river nearby with always changing scenery and wildlife activity.

What difference/addition to your day do you anticipate on Mothers' Day?

Mollygo Sat 13-Mar-21 16:23:29

Missed both, but I’d have chosen hippie-it sounded much more relaxed.

What’s the best walk near you e.g. -park, beach, fields, roads etc?

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 13-Mar-21 14:40:56

Nice eyes, round shoulders - I do try to stand up straight.

Were you a hippie or a beatnik?

FannyCornforth Sat 13-Mar-21 12:12:09

Sorry, cross post Puzzler! Great to see that we are both monkey fans!
I do like castles. Banbrough Castle is my favourite.

Best and worst features?

FannyCornforth Sat 13-Mar-21 12:09:09

Princess Margaret was a real beauty.
You are very lucky!

I have very mixed feelings about zoos.
I think that they are better for some animals rather than others. But I know that places like Twycross, which I used to go to regularly does amazing work.
I love all animals.
My absolute favourites at Twycross are the miniature monkeys, they are otherworldly. I could watch them for hours.

What do you believe to be your best physical feature to be, and your worst?

Puzzler61 Sat 13-Mar-21 12:03:50

Monkey World in Dorset with all the Primates is my absolute favourite animal place.

Do you like visiting Castles - have you a favourite?

henetha Sat 13-Mar-21 11:49:26

A long time ago someone told me I looked like Princess Margaret. She was very popular at the time and I glowed with pleasure every time I thought about it.
More recently someone said I was a good listener. I like that.

Do you like going to zoos or wildlife parks? If so, which animals do you like best?
