16. A reality show idea that you would most definitely watch on television?
Ooh, hard one! I loathe most reality shows. Life on the space station? Following astronauts in training? I quite enjoyed the Hadfield one, but I'd want more space-ness.

17. Which parent was more strict when you were growing up?
Definitely my father. He was mostly aloof but ( Read more... )

And here's another lot.

13. What colour were your bedroom walls painted or wallpapered when you were a teenager?
Ah. That was a sore point. Most of my bedrooms were very plain, probably vanilla/magnolia/whatever, but...
The stucco house we lived in for three years when I was at high school was well known for being pink, my father's failed attempt at a ( Read more... )

I've got very behind with these. The weather's been miserable when it's meant to be summer, everything's been cancelled, the probably 5% of the 10% no-vaxxers society are demonstrating and calling everyone else Nazis, friends have been abused by no-vaxxers to the extent they didn't want to go to work, and I'm so depressed and pissed off with life ( Read more... )

Not exactly a riveting batch.

4. What is the best positive change you’ve made recently?
I've been doing Pilates for over a year now, so, more recently, restorative yoga from about 6 weeks ago?

5. Have you ever inherited something?
Just money from family estate sales, shared between me and sibs.

6. If you have a partner, have you ever had to sleep in ( Read more... )

1. How old were you when you got your first car?
About 26. I had a motorbike at uni, and when I lived in Israel, England, and Germany, I used public transport, something we very much lack here outside the large cities, and even there it's not stellar.

2. What is a topic you are uncomfortable with discussing with most people?
Politics and vaccination ( Read more... )

25. Are there any musicians you didn't like at first but grew on you?
I can't think of any, but I've grown to enjoy some opera.

26. Is there anything you used to love but now dislike?
Heights! I loved fairground rides like the ferris wheel and used to do things like climb along the outside of footbridges, but I started to feel nervous when I was about ( Read more... )

22. Do you still use a radio or just use your phone/computer for music?
Neither. I don't like radio: all those shouty ads and horrifying news I'm much happier without. It's CDs at home or Spotify in the car via the car's software.

23. What kind of socks do you prefer to wear?
My own hand-knitted ones! I enjoy making them and they're so much better ( Read more... )

16. Do you want any piercings?
My ears, which were done years ago, are enough. I used to wear different earrings every day, but since I started working from home about 7 years ago, I don't bother any more, just change the studs now and then. This question, about wanting  rather than having, seems further proof that they're aimed at, or written by, ( ( Read more... )

I was wrong! We do have a poppy in our garden, and maybe it was even out on the 11th. The landscaper we had in two years ago must have moved it from the stone wall to a pot further back. I should really put it in the garden proper, and look for it each November.

12. Would you ever go out in public wearing pyjamas?
Hell, no!

13. Have you ever had a lemonade stand?
That's not a thing here.

14. Do you think you look older or younger than your real age?
Younger. When I was at uni, people assumed I was still about 15 and at school, which was annoying at the time. I've been taken as younger all my life, and really ( Read more... )
