Ask a question Part 2

I'm looking forward to liking it third time around.

Do you happily drive in the dark? I just did but with the fog, didn't feel too confident

No I really don't. Went to Cinderella with my DDs once but after that organised my DH to take them most years. They always told me they had a good time. Tried again with DGD aged 5 or 6, she was frightened and we left. Gave the tickets to two lively teenagers we met in the cafe.

Do you have a story about someone who has benefited from Children in Need?

Whoops messages crossed.
Bellanonna, I feel nervous every year when I have to drive in the dark, especially if it's raining. I do eventually get used to it.

Same question about Children in Need.

No sorry though I know quite a few groups who have received lottery grants.

Do you like firework displays?

Yes

Are you going to a firework display?

Yes, locally, with DD1 and 3 GCs.

Favourite firework as a child?

I loved sparklers and Catherine wheels.

Do you enjoy crosswords

I do and fondly imagined I would do more when retired - no chance!

Do you do Sudoku?

Yes I do one Sudoku a day in the evening and find it relaxes me whilst I watch tv. I'm a multi-tasker.

Are you watching Downton Abbey ?

No. I am not keen on costume dramas, though I know plenty of people who do like them and Downton Abbey.

Do you go to stately homes quite often?

No.

On average, how many times a day do you look at your mobile phone?

Can't remember the last time I visited one.

Do you regularly paint your nails

Crossed posts!

I paint my nails regularly - once a year!

Same question, how many times a day do you look at your mobile phone?

Too many!

Do you procrastinate?

Only look if it beeps

Do you have an open fire, even if only used occasionally ?

We have a multi fuel burner with doors on the front, does that count?

How many handbags do you have? (I have about ten but mostly old.)

X posts above

Yes, I procrastinate. Frequently.

Too many handbags, but only use 2

How many pairs of shoes do you have ?

Only 2 pairs of shoes but 6-7 pairs of sandals

Do you check the weather forecast daily

No. I occasionally wish I did when out and the rain comes as a total surprise!

Are there any online sites other than gransnet that you visit every day?

I look at FB every night in bed.

(asked DH for inspiration, his question"What is the meaning of life" No, dear that's a whole new thread)

What can you see out of your nearest window

A flock of goldfinches on the bird feeder.

If you could be someone else for a day who would you be?

Sir Simon Rattle or any other famous conductor.

Right shoe or left shoe first?

Always left, shoes, underwear, trousers

Do you - if you like reading poetry - read it aloud to yourself .

No. DH would think I was mad.

Do you buy supermarket orchids for yourself?

I've never bought an orchid full stop, even though they are one of my favourite flowers.

Can you type using all your fingers
