Do you like to fall asleep to noises or you prefer it all quiet?🤔
Silence for me! When I stayed at my brother’s house and slept on the floor, he would fall asleep to the tune of a radio and it did my head in. I have silence, darkness (not always, as the curtains that were sold to me as blackout curtains don’t fully work) and above all, no screens at night! If I can’t sleep I lie peacefully rather than get up one turn on a device because that is the worst thing one can do for sleep.

These shoutouts are delayed a lot, let me know what day you receive this? It’s sent on 3rd January
I only received it today, 9 January.
I don’t really encourage shoutouts or mass asks as few of them are worthwhile and, when I answer, I often find that the asker doesn’t care anyway, which raises the question of why they’re talking to me in the first place!

How many languages can you speak?
Sadly, I only speak English!
I would like to speak French and (the language of heaven) Welsh. But have not learned a language beyond school stuff and what I’ve picked up from a subtitled film, which is almost nothing.

Will you be getting the covid vaccination when it's your turn, why/why not?
Yes, as soon as the people who need more than me have had theirs, I’ll be down to the clinic for mine!
I execrate the ‘sceptics’ and ‘dissenters’ and hope now their orange idol is fired and a loser, that their movement will die, so that humans can live!

Yes, I agree.
It is human nature that we need to feel we have worked and made an effort to earn our reward, or we won’t enjoy it.
The problem with our economy is that useful things (caring for sick and old or young people, planting trees, cooking food) are either paid a pittance or not paid at all, whereas useless things (being a banker or a lawyer, or doing one of the Bullshit Jobs that David Graeber wrote about) are richly rewarded with money.

What was the last book that you read?
The Anarchy, by William Dalrymple!
The bizarre but true story of the East India Company, the world’s most powerful corporation ever.
This is fascinating; I haven’t been to India, but like all British people my life and times are still shaped by imperialism in India and elsewhere.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/sep/11/anarchy-relentless-rise-east-india-company-william-darymple-review
Do have a read as it’s a fascinating subject and Dalrymple, who lives in India, is second to none as a scholar.

What turns you off during a conversation online?
For some reason, pornbots keep advertising to me, despite the fact that I’ve never shown the slightest interest in that sort of thing!
When talking to someone who isn’t a bot, being racist, sexist, homophobic or stupid will be enough to make me not like them.

If you need to laugh what do you watch, read, listen to etc.?
The author, Tom Sharpe. He is not only screamingly funny but his satire is biting, so you’ll think as you laugh.

What was the last decision that you made?
To go all out for some snowy photography and walk to three places on Sunday!

As you can see, I reaped the rewards!
This place is a former mine where my grandad used to work, and has been admirably turned into a nature reserve.

Never feel comfortable when I haven’t yet exercised that day, but I do love the feel of finishing my quest.

Freaky Friday is one of the only movies that comes to mind when I think of the remake being better than the original. What's a movie where you thought the remake was better than the original?
The Quiet American (1958) butchered Graham Greene’s vision for political reasons (although a cinemaphile himself, Greene was often badly treated by film makers who failed to understand his vision; The Heart of the Matter and The Power and the Glory are other cases).
The Quiet American (2002) is a far better film to see after reading the book!

Is it okay to send a happy birthday text to an ex? Even if they were toxic. I just want to be kind and maybe catch up but I'm not sure.
Yes, it’s ok to do that; you are showing that you’re a good, caring person. It certainly isn’t a bad thing to do.
But if they will react badly, it may be unwise; I don’t know your ex well enough to say, but if that isn’t a concern then do it!

If you go out for a meal do you know what you're going too order before getting there or do you decide there and then?
I read the menu and decide what I'll have, then tell my friend who is placing the order if that applies, or tell the waiter/waitress as soon as they come round, as I don't think it's fair to keep people waiting.
