None of that. Just my iPhone. I’ve got everything I need!

Brahms' 4th Symphony
The biggest dictionary ever
Family photo

Too many books to choose just one, same with music. These choices would just be impossible for me. A photo of my DH and daughter. (Can I have a photo of my lovely cats as well?) What I would really certainly want are my phone (though it wouldn't last long without a charger and an electricity supply) and my glasses, and a good supply of my painkillers.

Has to be
The Bible
Amazing Grace (full straight version with no trills)
Photo of all the extended family together

My mobile phone has all sorts of music and books on it...do they count. Also has photos. Oh and I can call to be rescued....hahaha

Mine would be:
A comprehensive book about the flora and fauna of the island (so I knew what was safe to eat and what dangers there were!!).
Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.
A family photo.

As usual on here, not everybody is playing by your rules ixion!
Mine are:
Book: Pride and Prejudice
Song: (Whats the Story) Morning Glory - I want the whole album though
Photograph: a group photo of all my large family, taken when the non UK based brother and sister and families were over, my husband was alive and my children were small - happy days

I would be too busy carving myself a boat to escape to read a book and my efforts with the boat making would be too noisy to hear any music. Not sure about the photo - maybe one of my family to speed up my efforts to get home!! grin

Never mind the book/record/picture - my 3 would have to be

My Teeth, My hearing aids, My glasses

Without them I could not appreciate the statutory things.

Ellianne Tue 16-Feb-21 09:25:07

The diary of Anne Frank
Any track from Dirty Dancing
My dog

ixion Tue 16-Feb-21 09:04:53

I would take-
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell.
Lots of gentle humour and sun oozing from every page

I don't feel like dancing by the Scissor Sisters.
Playing over the ice rink at Somerset House, where I met my late Mum for afternoon Christmas tea to swap presents.

A photo of our three 'Children' at a rare Christmas meet in Australia a couple of years ago. All playing the fool, acting like 5 year olds, despite all being in their 30s, and aiming to ruin a nostalgic family snap for their dear mother's photo album!?

the book is long and complex and interesting on many levels
the music uplifting and beautiful and has human voices
the photo is a great one of DH, he has a lovely smile and makes me smile to look at it

EkwaNimitee Tue 16-Feb-21 09:01:29

War and Peace
Beethoven's 9th Symphony-last movement
photo of me and late DH, taken by DS2 in our sunny conservatory when we were fit and smiley in our 50s/60s

(Based, unimaginatively, on a long-standing radio programme!).
