No, I didn't. Schoolkids here had the previous week off. Hope you enjoy your free week. (and yeah, that's one of the nicest advantages of being a teacher)

What bird you like best? (not even.... 'if any'.... for we all like one, I think, a little better than the others)

Cockatiels are my favorite birds, because they are loving, people friendly, and are non aggressive towards other creatures, even ones smaller than them like budgies.




What is your favorite creature?

Guess what? Nah, I love the ermine, I think it's my favourite but there are lots of creatures I like/love. The blackbird (for it's creative songs), the playful and smart otter, dragonflies, dogs, all sorts of birds of prey (Steller's sea-eagles are awesome), etc..

Maybe not many know the Steller sea-eagle, so.... an example pic.

Is there an animal you really dislike and maybe are a little afraid of?

Cockroaches. I really dislike them when I find one at home but I'm not afraid anymore :)

Do you have a fireplace at your home?

Yes, a huge one... large enough for Santa to fly down with his sledge and all his reindeer.

Is your house hot or cold?

In a fairly average residential area.

Is there some sort of intrepid adventure you would love to go on, like climbing Mount Everest or maybe something more modest?

I'm not an "intrepid adventure" sort of person, but I think going deep underwater in a submarine would be pretty cool.

If you had the opportunity to have one of your senses enhanced in some way, which would you choose to have enhanced?

Enhance? My senses are pretty hyper as it is. Ok, maybe my sense of taste may be enhanced a little. Enjoying some good food even better then.

Um, on the other hand, if it was possible I could decrease one it would my sense of hearing.... someway put a volume button somewhere so I can control the 'input' of noise and sound a little for my hyperacusis totally s*cks at times.

If I say there are more than five senses (like most people think), what would you say?

Is there one movie that you like more than anything else?

Coming back at that there are more than five senses.... a little clip from 'QI', where Stephen Fry explains it better than I could do.

I do not know much about movies but I liked 'Chocolat' (from director L. Hallström, with Binoche, Olin, Depp and others) a lot.

In childhood days, did you read a lot of comic books? Did you have a particular favourite series?

I used to read the Dandy and the Beano. I also used to get a lot of reprints of the old kinds of comics like that: the Corker, the Beezer etc. I read Asterix and Tintin as well. My grandparents used to buy me collections of the Broons and Oor Wullie, but I wasn't a great fan of them. My favourite, althugh I only rarely got it because it was so expensive, was the Sonic the Hedgehog comic.

Sandi Toksvig or Stephen Fry.

If you had to choose one of these three wishes to be granted for you, which one would you choose:

1. Free beer at the pub every Friday night.
2. A punch bag that would always be within reach.
3. To have everyone you meet not think you were weird or annoying.
