7. When is your next family birthday?
May
8. In 1893, Tina Broadwick was born – a pioneering parachutist, she invented the rip-cord and was the first person to jump ‘free fall’. Have you ever done (or would you consider doing) a parachute jump?
No. I'm acrophobic, fine in airplanes, but don't want to think about jumping out of one.
9. Do you set an alarm on an alarm clock or a phone to get up in the morning?
Not since I retired. When I was a kid the rock-and-roll on my parents clock radio woke me up. I knew all the latest hits from that, though I personally wasn't much interested in the top 40. When I was on my own I usually had classical music come on to wake me up. Since retirement I rarely need to be up at a particular time. I'm a morning person so I do get up. My cat has his schedule too, so if he thinks I should be up, he wakes me.
10. Are you a minimalist or a maximalist regarding home décor?
Depends on how you look at it. I think decorating is a set and forget kind of exercise. Maximalists tend to want to keep changing things. I'm mostly minimalist, but my house is full of paintings done by my late sister. Probably more genuine paint-on-canvas paintings than most houses have.
