So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye ....
Hope you notice the song quote .... It might be corny, but I do love the film "Sound of Music"
Any way, the point is I am heading off to France/Belgium for my WWI trip very early on Monday, and won't be back until the following weekend ... when I am then working. So, I very much doubt I will make it here until the Tuesday.
So -
24. Today in 1932 Amelia Earhart left California on the first transcontinental non-stop flight by a woman. What is the longest distance you’ve flown without stopping?
In 2017 I flew from London to Portland Oregon … a 13 hour flight.
25. In London the Nottinghill Carnival takes place today and tomorrow. Have you ever been to a street Carnival?
I lived in North Cornwall for 25 years, and for about 15 of those I was a steward for the carnival … so, yes, I saw that! I also grew up in a town that had a carnival that I went too throughout my teenage years.
26. Today is the International Day of the Dog to promote the homing of rescue dogs. What’s your favourite breed of dog (and have you ever owned one)?
I have been around Cocker Spaniels in the past, and Jiffy was a West Highland White Terrier. I loved both breeds - I think most breeds have some really great points … but if you want “mad” then you need a Westie out of those 2 breeds!
27. Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon? Would you ever consider it if you haven’t?
No
I am scared of heights, so although I would love the view … it’s a case of “no way”.
28. Do you like the design of your kitchen? What would your ideal kitchen look like?
My kitchen is pretty good overall. I would like it bigger, as my table is in the middle - I could do with a small island, and then a table at the far end.
29. Have you any favourite phone apps you use regularly? Are there some you have to use in your area (e.g. for parking your car)?
I don’t have an “app” phone … so What’s App is as complicated as I get.
31. Do you organise your banking online, or do you prefer to go to the bank in person?
I do much of it on-lin on my computer … although would be happier to do it in person.

1. Have you ever played snooker, billiards or pool?
Yes, yes, and yes.
Dad played snooker & billiards, both brothers played pool. So can play the basics, although not great at any of them!
2. It’s World Coconut Day - what’s your favourite way to eat coconut?
Within a biscuit … eg, an ANZAC biscuit
Right, see you next month x
