Ask the Person Below You a Question: Spring Edition!

Until a week ago I had 3, one on each big toe and one on a middle toe. Incredibly painful to both have and get removed! I'm sure they'll grow back again too.

Which season is your favourite?

My finger nails are a nice shape.

Have you ever had an ingrowing toenail?

Electricity at the moment but do prefer gas

What is your best physical attribute?

Hazelnut milk chocolate from Aldi

Do you cook with gas or electricity?

Techno music! I had a neighbour who used to play it constantly, I think most of the street were happy when he moved out.

What's your guilty pleasure?

At the moment (on a wild wet coast) around 19c. I’m never sure what to choose. I read Elton John keeps his at 25c which seems rather hot. My medication means I am hot and cold by the minute.

What would you place in your Room 101?

Gertrude Bell

What temperature do you have your heating?

Most of my stuff is 'any old china' almost all blue and white.

Who is your favourite historical female figure?

Yes, one saying "Best Nan".

Do you have a 'best' dinner service for when you have guests?
Or do you use any old china?

Not here, we haven’t changed

Do you have a special cup/mug for your tea?

Yes.

Will you spend all today saying ‘ what time is it really?

Masterchef

Did you change your clocks before going to bed?

Maybe Florence in the heart of Tuscany.

If you could be a contestant on a TV show (e.g. Sewing Bee)
which would you choose?

Yes, I have too many really but my current practical bag is a roomy crossbody with shoulder strap which leaves my hands free.

If you could have been born and reared in any city in the world, which would you choose?

Yes I do occasionally, but to be honest it rather depresses me. Some folk do seem to have so many problems and you can’t help but feel sorry for them, and wish you could help them. So many are financial problems.

Do you have more than one handbag (I love handbags)

Yes, I love art. I've one by a 'proper' artist - a seascape and a few by my late husband on the walls, plus needlework.

Do you ever go on Mumsnet? Does it make you feel old?

Yes, absolutely love it. Limited now in what I can do though.

Do you like art generally, and do you have paintings in your house?

I think so - I try not to look for them ?

Are you an enthusiastic gardener?

Don't mind if it's not too cold.

Do you keep on top of household chores?

An ironer

Do you like being out in the rain ?

A rose

Are you an ironer or do you just hang your clothes without ironing ?

No

You can place only one flower in a vase, what is it?

Not usually, though my GD made me one during lockdown.

Do you watch House of Games

Sometimes weekly. We live near the sea and if it is wet and windy the windows get covered in salt.

Do you still get a birthday cake?

The first was Joe Brown and the Bruvvers - A picture of you.
The last may have been Helen Reddy - candle on the water.

How often do you clean your windows?
