How can putting eye cream onto your eye be so difficult. It’s been a nightmare over the last few days. Yes a few drops have found their way somewhere near the target an boy does it sting…… However the majority have hit the floor, gone up my nose, on my face, into my hair, onto my clothes. This morning was no different. As I contorted on the floor randomly firing eye drops everywhere I heard our son say between the laughter.
“You are disproving everything about natural selection and evolution. Millions of years of evolution and the humans have come to this”
At least it took his mind off the nightmare which is school.

Teresa’s Questions:
WHAT WOULD KLAATU (THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL) THINK OF EARTH IF HE LANDED TODAY?
Assuming this is something like Keanu Reeves movie and also the 1950s movie. If he landed in Yorkshire today I guess he would have moaned about the weather.
IF BOOKS’ CHARACTERS WERE NOT IMPRISONED BY THEIR COVERS, WHICH TWO CHARACTERS WOULD MAKE A GREAT COUPLE?
Batman and Superman – what could possibly go wrong.
FOR US FOLKS: TURKEY, HAM, OR SOMETHING ELSE ON THANKSGIVING? FOR INT’L FOLKS: WHAT IS ONE FOOD YOU RECOMMEND MOST FROM YOUR COUNTRY?
Yorkshire Puddings.
Kristian”s Questions:
IS THERE A FICTIONAL WORLD THAT YOU ACTUALLY WISHED EXISTED?
Teletubby Land
WHAT SONG ALWAYS MAKES YOU SMILE?
Pinky and Perkies – Those magnificent men in their flying machines. (This one is very very very old).
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS IN THE MORNING?
Without Salmonella. Sorry my sore eye is making me even more grumpy than usual. Definitely fried on potato waffles.
Crushed Caramel Questions:
WHEN YOU WENT TO THE PLAY-PARK AS A CHILD, DID YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE APPARATUS? (EG THE SWINGS, SEE-SAW, SLIDES, CLIMBING FRAME)
Had to be swings which allowed us to play that fine sport – welly wanging. Suspect that has not made the Olympics yet.
IF I WERE TO SEND YOU A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS – WHAT KIND OF FLOWERS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN IT?
Would be just happy to get some flowers. So any.
WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD, HOW SO YOU TREAT IT? DO YOU DOSE YOURSELF UP WITH ITEMS YOU HAVE BOUGHT FROM THE PHARMACY OR DO YOU HAVE ANY HOME REMEDIES YOU RELY ON? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU DO TO TRY TO CHEER YOURSELF UP WHILE YOU ARE ILL?
I find being grumpy helps.
DaisyMae Questions:
What is one tv show you watch where if anyone knew they would be amazed/surprised/confused? A guilty pleasure.
The Goodies (another very very old show)
What word do you hate to hear the most?
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis – no idea what it is but being that big a word – it can’t be good.
If you could chose any character from a book to have as a romantic partner who would it be?
Clarice Starling
My Questions

Great Answers.
I’m going to answer your questions here:
If the world needed a hero, who would you call?
My Mum. She’s tough and scary.
Worst movie ever seen?
Oh so, so many. I thought Titanic was a big pile of pants.
Have you ever been to Yorkshire?
Yes, I have been to York a couple of times and this year I went to Whitby and Flamborough head (to see puffins) Had a great time.
Thanks and All the best. 🙂

I will crack your last three…
1. Superhero? Jean Grey.
2. Worst movie? Too many to count. And, most of them are playing in the wee hours of the morning on Comet TV.
3. Yorkshire? No. I’ve never been outside of the U.S. Yorkshire Pudding sounds tasty. I even know what Spotted Dick is thanks to Britchy! 😉
