When my wife asks me to. Usually at least once a per week.

Same question.

For basics I do online shopping with delivery, and the kind where I order online and pick it up. In between I try to get fresh produce and perishables about twice a week, but usually from smaller markets.

Would you rather write a work of fiction or an autobiography?

Work of fiction. The experience of writing an honest autobiography would probably wreak serious damage to my mind.

Same question.

I wrote a 188 page annotated autobiography for my ASD developmental history questions. It definitely did me in!
(The assessor too ). Regardless, I don't know if I have the creativity to write a work of fiction on my own.

Poetry yes, novel no.

What is your favourite novel?

I recall writing in my university entrance exam general paper that Wuthering Heights was my favourite novel, you may be interested to hear, but that was about 40 years ago....I don't know - I've had serious problems with concentration in my 'adult' life, which has often made it difficult or impossible to get into a serious novel. I tried to read Henry James's Portrait Of A Lady in the early 1980s, and that pretty much put me off the whole experience for life....

If pushed, I'd have to say stuff like Orwell's 1984 or Huxley's Brave New World....


Which Greek island, if any, would you like to live on?

*(kindred spirit) (cough) (good taste)*

Did you happen to admire Isabella?

To be honest I wouldn't want to live on a Greek island because of the climate (and the islandness), but I would visit Rhodes.

same q

Can't remember much about the fictional Isabella - weren't there two of them, or something?

I was mildly fascinated by the Greek islands many, many years ago, but that was based on Classical texts from 2500 years earlier. Half of them are probably Turkish ones now, but maybe no less interesting for that. I think I'd be interested in spending at least a few weeks or months (probably in the cooler part of the year) in a place like Rhodes.


Are you interested in the politics of any particular country?

There's only one Isabella Linton in the novel but there are duplicates of many names, so there is also an Edgar Linton and a Catherine Linton and a Catherine Earnshaw, a Linton Heathcliff and a Heathcliff Heathcliff. It's good times.

No, I'm not even interested in the politics of my own country.

Are you interested in deep sea fishing?

Just a few bits of Wuthering Heights have stuck in my mind over the years: Penistone Crag....Jabes Branderham and Seventy Times Seven.....The More The W***s Writhe....I AM Heathcliffe....LOL...spent quite some time a few months ago trying to find my old 1975 copy of WH (I know it's somewhere in the house, and can easily visualize the front cover), but without success....

Not interested in any sort of fishing.


Are you feeling tired? I am after 18 hours awake, so I bid you Good Night/Morning....

Ah yes, well let's hope you don't dream of Jabes tonight, -- nor I of the writhing.

I'm as tired as I ever get (moderate), so I'll bid you adieu!

New question:
Could you ever do a headstand?

No, never.

Could you shoot a free throw?

No, but as a child I could often sink the ball by standing backward and throwing it over my head. I've never played a real game.

same q

Nope

Do you love symbolism in art and metaphors?

I do! Especially in poetry.

Same q

Yes! Very much!

Same q

Yes, I do!

Same q.
