Questions, from

1) What is your favourite dessert?
Self-saucing chocolate pudding remains in the lead, closely followed by lemon pudding, banana clafouti, and vanilla ice-cream with strawberries and icing sugar. Of course, I make all of those myself - a dessert made by someone else, or ordered in a restaurant, is in an entirely different category. Because I get to be lazy, and just enjoy!
2) What is your favourite room in The Manor?
I haven't really been there long enough to have a favourite, but the bathroom is purely fabulous. Except it needs different shower curtains, and a chair, and stuff. But lovely dark-grey tiles, and lots of space, and a bath-tub. And pretty lead-light windows.
3) If you had a week to spend anywhere in the world (and unlimited money to get you there) where would you go?
The Greek Islands. I've always wanted to visit Greece, and to faff about going around the islands would be brilliant! Preferably with my dearest and nearest with me, so they get to enjoy it as well.
4) Which Buffy (and/or Angel) character would you most like to take out to dinner? (i.e., for conversational purposes)
For conversational purposes? The Mayor - before he gets all snaky - would be terribly interesting. Plus, you can be sure that a) the restuarant would have an excellent hygiene rating, b) he'd pay for it (being old-fashioned like that), and c) no one would try to mug us on our way home.
5) And to bed?
That's a toss-up between Spike and Faith. Can I take both (with a little Lilah on the side)?
