Ask a Question to the Person Below: ? 6️⃣

No. I hope the monarchy continues indefinitely. But in a slimmed down version.

Have you ever cut your own hair? Or coloured your own hair?

I have cut my own hair (badly) in the past.
I’ve always really hated going to the hairdresser.
Now it’s longer and curly I just snip the straggly ends off.
I’ve been dying my own hair since I was in my teens.
It really needs doing again, my greying roots are a few inches long.
But I can’t bend over the bath to rinse it out - too painful.
I’m trying to think of alternative way of doing it…

What do you reckon will happen with Johnson this evening?

He may get through but having a vote of no confidence will hang heavy and he may be gone soon after.

Do you feel we need a new PM now?

At this moment I dont see anyone to replace him! None of the others have any personality. However I foresee he will be gone before the end of the year.

Can you remember back to when the queen succeeded or has she always "been there" for you?

When I was a child of 8 in 1952 I complained to my parents that there was no pop music on the radio because I wanted to listen to radio Luxemburg. My mother snapped "The king's dead, have some respect child." I remember that everyone was genuinely very sad.

Yes I can. I was six I think and remember being told at school that the King had died. We watched the Coronation on nexts doors television.

Do you have any Coronation ephemera.? I have an ashtray and a small glare mug

No, I don’t have anything . I wasn’t alive when the coronation took place.

I went back into my winter jumpers yesterday and today.
Is there any item of clothing you think keeps you particularly warm ?

Thermal vests from M&S and fluffy socks.

Do you ever put the heating on in June?

Normally not,.but it was so cold here this weekend that I simply had to.
Just for a short while though.

Do you like kippers? Or never tasted them?

Yes I do. We often had kippers for tea on a Sunday when I lived at home. Still like them but they do repeat a bit.

Favourite sandwich ? Prawn and mayo for me.

My favourite used to be M&S cheese and celery on brown bread; but they don’t make them any more.
And their Brie and grape ?
I currently like my own grated cheddar and mozzarella with mayo and lettuce, in brown baps.

Favourite thing on toast?
Unsurprisingly, mine is ?

Apart from marmalade which I like, I do sometimes have peanut butter on toast and it's scrummy. And cheese on toast, of course.

What's your favourite jam? I like a bit of sharpness, so blackcurrant.

Ginger marmalade.

Are you a bikini, one piece, tankini, shorts or sarong person on the beach?

Tankini, sarong, floppy hat, and a huge gin and tonic in the shade.
Or preferably a cotton sundress.
I am not at all comfortable in that environment!

Where are you uncomfortable?

I don’t like heights, especially if there is no safety rail. I once got trapped on a cliff when I was little and it started then.

Are you a party dude or do you prefer just being with one or two friends ?
I like both, personally.

I dislike parties. I like the company of friends.

Are you still wearing a mask in shops/on transport?

No. I have been in town this morning and only saw one person wearing one.

In which season is your birthday? Mine is in summer.

Mine is in spring, it can be lovely weather or freezing & snowing.

What have you done with all your old photos, are they in some kind of order or just shoved in old albums or shoe boxes. I keep meaning to sort mine out but just end up taking a trip down memory lane & end up putting them back as they were.

I am pretty well organised….over the last year, I have previously scanned old photos on to the laptop and then, I found a marvellous app, ‘send anywhere’ which on command, sends photos from one device to another. I have also put them into various folders, by dates/occasions etc etc. Worthwhile project….try it SachaMac

Did you attend any Jubilee Parties? My d.I.l.s parents organised a bring-a-plate in her garden. There were about 25 of us - was very nice.

No I didnt attend any jubilee parties or events. I have an major upcoming electrical job in my house - possible complete rewiring - and have to start packing and organizing stuff.

Are you planning to fly in the forseeable future?

I am not. Even if I were the queues and chaos at airports would be a big turn off. Not to mention the cancellations.

I am not interested in flying off anywhere at the moment.

Where did you go on your last holiday?

It was probably Normandy but was quite a long time ago. We went on the cross-channel ferry to Cherbourg.

Are you a good sailor?

Yes so far. I wouldn’t choose the hydrofoil on a choppy day again though. No wonder they call it the ‘vomit comet!’

Would you go in a canoe now, (single or
multi-person?

DH is forever going on about a canoe or a kayak.I mean we are both 77, I think that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. So a big fat NO.

How about paddle boarding?

No! I’m as unsporty and adventurous as you can get.
I can’t really swim either.
Uncoordinated too.
Bit of a disaster really!

What are you really rubbish at?

Any sort of car maintenance. I’d no sooner change a flat tyre than fly to the moon.

Do you like cushions and/or do you have a lot ?
