Grapefruit-could have been worse. I have just made mackerel pâté.

Fog, snow or rain? Which is your worst driving weather, whether you drive or not?

Mince pie!

Are you planning to see any older relatives and will you still go ahead if there are restrictions?

In my case I AM the older relative (triple jabbed) and will still be seeing my 2 nephews (but no others because they live too far away)

Just likebiglouis I am the older relative.
DS and family should be coming. Lots of testing and open windows, so should be alright.

Just watching ELO on sky arts. Those were the days.
Do you ,or did you before COVID, go to huge concerts.?

I went to large concerts in school and the opera and theatre when I was younger. As I have got older I have developed a dislike of being in a large crowd. It makes me feel stifled.

Did you mostly play indoors or outdoors as a child?

I played mostly outdoors with a gang of other kids. Mostly street games. But there was very little traffic then (1950s) as there were few private cars.

I played outdoors a lot. We had a small park nearby and all local kids used to congregate there and play our games
like "Please Jack, may we cross the water". And skipping and hopscotch etc. There were trees around the park which we used to climb regularly.

Willl you wear a Christmas jumper this year? I've got a black one with a giant sparkly holly sprig on the front.

I hate driving through snow Mollygo I fear and dread it.

We played a great deal out in the street.

Do you know where the stopcock is?

Yes, and it’s completely unreachable!

£10 to spend in boots on anything you like what would you choose?

Good hair shampoo.

In bed do you have bedsocks, electric blanket or hot water bottle?
(Sometimes for me, all three?)

Socks! Our bathroom floor is tiled and I can’t find my slippers in the dark.

How often do you clean your gutters?

I never do. DH does I presume ?

If you lived by the sea, how often do you think you would go there?

We live about 30 mins from the sea. I can see it from my bedroom and we go there at least once a week, more in summer.
Our dog loves to rush into the water however cold it is so I’d rather not take her too often in winter.

Tomorrow is the shortest day. Will you be glad when evenings start getting lighter again?

Oh Yes!! Can't wait

Sorry........Question:
