What is your favorite outdoor activity?

Walking, preferably up (and then down) a hill.

This is what I planned for today - and its raining. And it doesn't look like it's going to brighten up... Perhaps tomorrow. If not, I wil have to do some exercises with the dvd. I really have to!

What jewellery do you wear - if any?

My wedding, engagement and eternity rings and a watch. Then I add other bits to match in with my clothes.

Why is it that children are always sleepy on schooldays when I get them up and on the weekend, when I would like a lie in, they are up and at it from 7am?

It's their revenge for having to wake up early to go to school

"Strictly come dancing" or the "X Factor"?

Strictly come dancing!

I rarely watch TV, but I do enjoy the dancing.


Wash up by hand or dishwasher?

Dishwasher is so much easier.. but when our dishwasher was broken I was ok with hand washing oddly enough.. lol

What is your favorite book?
Faith

The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

If you could be someone's pet, what kind of pet would you be, what is your name, and who is your owner?

I'd be a Fruit bat!! Then I could hang around all day listening to sir David Attenborough telling every one all about me!


If you ruled the World what would you make Law?

That every one should honour there neighbours


SudoKu or crosswords

Sudoku....I can never figure out the crossword clues


What do you wear to bed???

Nothing but a Smile!
I feel cluttered in a nightie or 'jamas! Luckily we have no houses next to us!


Do you wear slippers or shoes in the house?

I used to never wear anything but socks.... but his house is always freezing in the morning so I've started to wear slippers

What do you normally eat for breakfast?
Faith

A fruit and fibre type of cereal like sultana bran. I used to just grab a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit, but I'm trying to eat better these days.


Any mug to drink out of or do you have your own special mug?

Got to be china mug for tea, and a denby mug for coffee.

Why is it with this game my mind goes blank and I can never think of an original question to ask ?

Woman after my own heart! I could never drink coffee from a bone china mug!


I can't think of an answer either to that question!!

So...
why does Tea taste best from a bone china mug?

I read about a study that shows that drinkers have long believed a 'favourite cup' intensifies the sensation of the drink.
Its kinda like drinking orange juice from a mug and coffee or tea from a glass. For some reason it just taste different.

Maybe its tradition. Coffee = mug
Tea = cup
Juice = glass
Wine = wine glass


I'm going to ask that question at college tomorrow

What's the next question?

That's a good question Tia ....


What's the view from your kitchen window?

Well, actually, in Hungary we drink coffee from a cup. A very small one - since we drink the espresso-type coffee: very small and very strong.

View from my Kitchen window is beautiful!! A small hamlet on a hill and the sunsets are simply stunning!


Do you prefer to live in a town or the country (if you had free choice!)

Agi, I think its the style of cup and what it is made from that's the important thing. Bone china, cup or mug is definitely for tea!! It's light and had a thin rim, just right for a refreshing drink.
We have espresso coffee in tiny cups too, but they are ordinary china and not fine china. Am I confusing you?
