The first was Joe Brown and the Bruvvers - A picture of you.

Do you still get a birthday cake?

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

Do you watch House of Games

No

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

An ironer

Do you like being out in the rain ?

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

Do you keep on top of household chores?

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

Are you an enthusiastic gardener?

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?

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 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 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?

Maybe Florence in the heart of Tuscany.

Masterchef

Yes.

Not here, we haven’t changed

Who is your favourite historical female figure?

Gertrude Bell

What temperature do you have your heating?

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?

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?

Hazelnut milk chocolate from Aldi

Electricity at the moment but do prefer gas

What is your best physical attribute?

My finger nails are a nice shape.

Have you ever had an ingrowing toenail?

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?
