Ask the Person Below You a Question: Spring Edition!

The Snow Queen.
The last thing wasn’t a play, but the last thing I saw at the theatre was a performance by Fascinating Aïda. Very funny if a little bit smutty.

Would you still go to a pop concert?

Never have, never will

Do you follow a morning and nighttime skincare routine? If so what?

Im in my 70s now so I dont really bother with cosmetics. Just plain water.

Do you have any really annoying neighbours that you deliberately keep at arms length?

No problems with neighbours now thank goodness. One side have a large family and I like the sound of the children playing. The other neighbour is very private. When she moved in, I invited her in for a cup of tea, but she obviously wants to be left alone, practically a hermit, which I respect. Before her we had a couple with dogs barking all day, it made my poor late husband’s life a misery as he loved to garden.

What do you remember playing in the nativity play at school?

A shepherd .... I was very shy & hid behind others as much as possible

Have you been eating more cream cakes during lockdown.?

Not cream cakes as such but cakes in general most definitely, oh dear.

Have you ever made or repaired in anything in a 'Heath Robinson' way which is useful?

Yes. Recently knocked up a pair of window screens from an old sheet. Supported by old electric cable and 'secured' at either end with sucker hooks. Doing the job I wanted perfectly. Tradespeople would perhaps weep......

Have you an old furniture item?

Yes, a little leather set of drawers. I kept my needlework things in there, but gradually other bits and coins like my 3d collection have crept in.

Have you ever tried Bacon Jam?

No!! ??

Do you ever go “commando”

Only at night when I sleep.

Did you wear jelly sandals to the beach when you were young?

Yes and a bubbly nylon costume?

Did you have a big white wedding?

No

What is your favourite news channel

I think I'm guilty of watching too much news, whether that's a good or bad thing. Usually News 24.

Have you ever witnessed a ghost or had a eerie experience?

I’ve seen 2 ghosts.

Comedy or horror films.

MerylStreep

I’ve seen 2 ghosts.

Comedy or horror films.

Maybe you could start a thread about ghosts MS...?

Psychological horror for me

Cremation or burial, cremation for me and very very simple one at that

Regard them as just a vulgar show for the world. Mourning is done in the heart. I have not been to one for over 25 years. Would prefer one that is as cheap and simple as possible. Cremation for sure.

Have you ever had a reptile for a pet?

Does my second husband count?...?

What is your favourite coffee, i.e. latte, cappuccino

I drink Little's flavoured coffee at home.
About four years ago I was introduced to Starbucks (very late to that particular party). It was when I was back at university as a mature student. Seems a lifetime ago...
I digress. Anyway, I loved their frappéccino (sp?), basically a huge iced coffee with lots of whipped cream on the top.

Fancy dress costume of choice?

A cowgirl.......tartan shirt, waistcoat with fringing, denim skirt and cowboy boots.

First thing you think about when you wake up?

First thing I do upon waking is to switch my mobile phone on - bad habit I know but difficult to break.

Are you doing anything interesting today?

No

Which famous person would you like to look like?

Cary Grant

Does the weather forecast for today match what it’s doing outside?

No. We are supposed to be having sunshine. And there's none.

What flavour ice-cream do you like best?

I love pistachio. Never had ice cream in this country (UK) like they make it in Italy. Its an art form there.

Have you ever paid for a private medical procedure because NHS would be too long a wait?
