Do you, or did you used to enjoy horse riding?

No left-handed some of us don't have the facility to.

I prefer real but don't have one due to the mess.

Did you pass your driving test first time ?

shysal Sun 13-Dec-15 06:59:51

Yes, much to my surprise!

Has your hearing deteriorated with age?

Do you have a bird table/bath ? Just looking at mine being enjoyed

What's the most unusual bird you've seen in your garden?

shysal Sun 13-Dec-15 18:30:26

I am lucky to live in an area where Red Kites have been introduced. I love them.

Do you wear the paper hats from crackers?

Bellanonna Sun 13-Dec-15 18:43:49

Only until it falls off which thankfully is quite soon

Have you had siskins in the garden? We did a few years ago.

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 19:53:19

I wouldnt know, but doubt it.
I once saw a bird I completely didnt recognise, but by the time I got the bird book out, it had flown away, never to come back.
Most of the birds we have are "regulars".

What is your best moment of 2015?

Pretend you wanted a tattoo. What design would you have and on what part of your body?

Nana3 Mon 14-Dec-15 08:18:45

Yes, usually on the lines of 'be more positive'. I know someone who puts a positive spin on everything. Come to think of it it can be extremely annoying.
