I'll be online most of the day and wandering about. might pop out at some point.

What kind of day have you had?

Fine day, just having a break now between classes.

What would you do if you had 15 minutes to spare?

Despite all the contradicting fiction, I would remember my name even if I had amnesia.

What would you know if you were stupid?

hmmm... that's a tricky one... I have a friend who refers to herself as stupid and didn't do the BBC Test the Nation quiz because she knew she'd have a low score. It hadn't occured to me she didn't consider herself intelligent, but it does tend to show through in the things she doesn't understand when we chat. And another friend who comes across as intelligent turned out to be even less clever than my self-confessed stupid friend, and I didn't realise until I made a pun-ish joke on a typo she'd made and she didn't understand it. She obviously doesn't consider herself to be stupid, so maybe you wouldn't necessarily know that you were.

that got rather involved!

What is your wildest fantasy?

chocolate makes me tick 😊

yes, I want to know, or I wouldn't have asked

what are you afraid of if you share your wildest fantasy?

my wildest fantasy is to get married & have kid's.(judging by my luck with the laydees recently this is definately a fantasy)

what is your wildest fantasy?

p.s i gotta go now. 😞

I've already got 2/3 of your fantasy 😊 I couldn't describe my fantasy here.

What is your favourite bodypart?

my favourite bodypart is any part of a womens body 😉😃

what about you? (sorry i keep asking your question back but i'm interested in your reply)

I kinda meant your favourite part of your own body 😛

I like my eyes and my hair best. I think Ewan would say different bits 😉

What would be your ideal holiday?

A never-ending one somewhere hot - prob far east.

What will be your next holiday destination?

Edinburgh

What essential item do you always take on holiday with you (other than mobile and charger, obviously!)

spring - the cycle of rebirth, from Imbolc to Beltaine when everything's new and full of promise.

What period in history would you like to visit?

World War II or more specifically the people inventing the Enigma machine and seeing it working for real!

What is your favourite type of restaurant (ie Chinese, French, etc)?

I was in Durham, north England one time and I got to hear the way they speak up there: geordie 😃 That was hilarious. 😃 I like Scottish accent too and Irish.

What is your favourite language (to listen to, not necessarily to speak)?

The language of lurve!!!

If you had to choose between Finland and Scotland, what country would you choose?

(The clock is ticking.....1, 2, 3, 4...!)

... 267, 268, 269 Here!

Having spent some time in Finland already I wouldn't mind visiting Scotland 😃

Is Crackle in northern England or southern England? 😊

I would imagine that it's in the Midlands, on the assumption that Snap is in the north and Pop is in the south 😃

What would you do if you found an injured animal in your garden?

Awww, bless. I'd very carefully pick it up and if appropriate take it to a vets for treatment. Then I'd pay anything necessary to bring it back to full health. Then I'd have to find a home for it. Would be highly unlikely we'd keep it as we live in a penthouse in Crackle with little to stop any such animal from jumping and causing itself more damage. And we go away on holiday too much and it would be unfair to keep it lonely, looked after by temporary surrogates all the time.

Having said that, last time I was on the farm, we found a tiny fieldmouse/vole that was quite clearly in discomfort and close to the end. Probably hit by a cow or a car or something. I swear I saw GR dawdling around close by! After an enormous process of courage-summoning, I dispatched it with a spade. Yes I cried.

What sort of milk do you buy and why?

I buy full-cream milk because that's what the ratbag needs (I don't really use it myself)

What do you think of men who have ponytails and a bald spot? (this is for Ewan's benefit 😛 I'm trying to encourage him to get his hair cut)

Dodgyyyyyyyyyyyy!
I'm sure Ewan is lovely, but pony-tail? Don't ever trust a man with a pony tail.

What time is it? I've lost my watch.

Who said I wore one? I don't. I just lost it is all. 😃

What is your fear level, living in London, in terms of Al Qaida?

I don't ever think about it, otherwise I'd never let Ewan travel on the tube to work.

What's the best thing about tractors?

They're lovely. They make life so much easier on the farm. They're romantic in a strange sort of a way, they bring to mind the old pre-tractor days (not that I was around then) when real people worked the soil by hand and with animals. They're steeped in history and tradition.

But really really Jadey, I'm not a tractor-boy. It just happened that it was the most recent pic I had of me!

What do you love most of all about being a parent?

The most amazing thing is seeing something made inside my body walking around and learning. It's fascinating to watch the world through her eyes, to see everything as new and exciting. She can play for ages with an empty bottle and a piece of paper, discovering all the things they can and can't do, and filing that information away for later. All the things we know instinctively now as adults she's learning right now. She's discovering gravity, magnestism, that paper tears easily when it gets wet, that bowls smash when she drops them onto the kitchen floor. She's learning how her body moves and operates, and is putting that to use walking and climbing. She's learning that it hurts if she bangs her head when she falls over, but that mummy's always there to kiss it better. And now she's starting to learn that she can say "no" to things and make decisions about what she does. The speed of development is astounding, and I'm overwhelmed and so grateful to be a parent. So much so that I want to do it again! 😛

What kind of question could follow an answer like that!
