Ask the Person Below You a Question: Spring Edition!

Did you have a brilliant day today?

Yes! The walk was great because the weather was lovely. Lunch out mmmmm!
The technician rang in response to a complaint I made last night about our wifi and talked me through ways to fix it. It took 3 different ways and over an hour but now I can print and do all the other things I could do before we upgraded to Ultrafast.
Makes that a very good day for me.

Do you watch anything on Netflix at the moment?

Not at the moment, but I enjoyed Shtisel (used to call it Shitsel ?) not long ago.

Do you like dark or pale nail varnish?

Always pale if at all. Can't cope with the bold unnatural look.

Do use public transport?

I used to use buses a lot, but haven't for a couple of years.

Which period in history are you most interested in, or drawn to?

The Victorian. A time of great innovation and progress.
And Queen Victoria was fascinating.

Have you bought some new sunscreen ready for when the weather improves ? ( I did, yesterday).

No , I’m a bit slack that way though we always have some in the house.

Do you prefer gold or silver jewellery ( or neither)?

Gold, but I have both, it’s easier on the pocket!

Have you ever watched Richard Osman’s House of Games?

No.

Have you experience of public speaking?

The last time I spoke in public was on my wedding day 30yrs ago.

What type of music do you like?

Tamla Motown. All time favourite (long before seeing the hunk in the laundrette) - ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’.

What is your favourite meal? (Apologies if already asked.)

Roast Lamb

Do you have a favourite eye shadow?

Benefit’s Big Sexy Eyes

Do you ever hear the dawn chorus?

Ooh yes, everyday. Our garden has fields and woods at the back.
The dawn chorus is very loud - it's amazing.

It is said that everyone has a book in them. Do you?

'Morning Molly btw, hope you are well

Morning FC, yes I’m fine thanks. I’d love to think I had a book in me. I used to invent endless stories (which they still remember when my children and grandchildren were younger.
I lack the self discipline to sit down and write though.

If you did have a book in you, what genre do you think it would be?

In reality: a book for older children (secondary age) who are poor readers.
This is actually something that I ought to have a go at, now that I have so much time.
In my dreams: Something to do with womens' social history 1850 - 1939.

I've asked this a few times, but I like it so I'm going to ask it again.
Who would play you in the film of your life?

Lesley Manville.

What do you like to do on completely rainy days (like today for us)?

Shirley MacLaine.

Do you 'colour theme' each room?

In my dreams, Anouk Aimee or Sophia Loren lol. I’d probably get Judi Dench as she’s everywhere. Don’t look like her, so might escape.

Do you like entertaining, dinner/supper/drinks parties?

We love entertaining ... or at least we did before Covid!

What's the worst thing you've been served at a dinner party, and had to pretend it was nice?

Oysters - ugh!

Yes, but only my immediate family.

Just to let them get on with it as I have a wild garden

Yes, one walks around the outside of our house most nights, poo-ing along the way. ?
