Ask a question Part 2

The method of getting back to sleep that worked for me last night, was suggested by a doctor. I slow down my breathing and count each in breath to about 50, I am usually gone round 20.

Do you go out in the snow and how do your avoid falling over in the icy, snowy conditions ?

No, I only sew when I have to.

What do you do when you can't sleep ?

Dance! I find it hard to move arms and legs in any organised sort of way. (Poor co-ordination)

Have you ever made your own clothes?

If only !

What do you wish you could do better ?

Spinach and kidneys!

Are you a good singer?

Only on a diet day (on the 5:2) when I keep enough calories back to let me have a small piece of fruit before I go to bed so that I don't wake either of us up with my tummy rumbling

Are there any foods that you really can't stand - not allergies or intolerances, but just a taste you really hate?

It varies, fruit n fiber cereal, porridge or maybe poached egg on toast.

Do you eat supper ? Late night snack, not evening meal that is.

In between 2am and 4am. I start coming to life around 10pm and have been a night owl since I was a little girl.

What do you eat for breakfast?

No, none at home

What is your usual bedtime ?

I learned to ride on a friend's bike but never owned one till my 40th birthday. I loved it but rode it to death! (It lasted 18 years!)

Do you have any exercise equipment in your home? And do you use it?

I remember reading Janet & John books to the teacher, I don't remember reading to mum or dad.
Did you ride a push bike when younger? Or maybe you still do

No. I have not even heard about it.

Do you remember learning to read?

I really enjoyed it and was sad to leave

Are you watching the German Cold War drama on ITV ?

I remember being locked in toilet in nursery ( I went from when I was a baby my mum had to work ) one of the staff let me out

Did you enjoy your school years or was you glad to leave

I get up between 6.00 and 6.30 make a cuppa come back to bed trying to avoid disturbing DH, then go on the Ipad and read till about 8.00.

What's your earliest memory ?

Not common, it's a necessity. Yes, I do.

What is your usual time to get up ?
(typing this in bed)

I love the extra hour when they go back. Pity about the other one!

Do you dry washing on radiators (like me #common as muck)

Spring although seasons seem to run into each other now,

Do you like clocks going backwards/forwards or do wish they just stayed same all year

I used to give blood and got my silver award but a phase of anaemia a couple of years ago made me stop and I haven't got back to it yet.

Which is your favourite season and why?

Roll with a boiled or poached egg and sometimes bacon.

Do you give, or have you given, blood?

Manicured short

Traditional Sunday lunch, or, like me ,whatever you fancy ?

Just gardening, walking and exercise classes, plus occasional sewing and knitting.

Are your finger nails shaped and manicured or kept short like mine?

That's a tricky one. I'd like to help someone who's homeless but I really don't want the Big Issue and would throw it away unread. I'd just as soon put money in a collecting tin and refuse the magazine but that might be patronising? Anyway, no I don't!

Do you have a hobby?

Some Like It Hot.

Do you give to the Big Issue Sellers money ?

I love sweet. Particularly lemon marshmallow slice. YUM!!

What's your favourite movie?
