Questions

 

1. What is your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?

Well here’s the thing – I never loved Sunday afternoon!   When I was working,  I loved Friday evening,  all day Saturday and maybe Sunday morning.  By that afternoon I’d be thinking and preparing for the week ahead.  It was never a relaxing down time.   Now that I’m retired,  every evening is Friday evening (without being wrecked of course!!) and every afternoon is – great (including Sunday!!).  So – short answer….. nothing springing to mind!  Sorry!

 

2. What are the seven best movies you have seen in the past year?

I devoted the first weeks of covid to the marvel movies – all of them!!  Most were great – especially Avengers: Endgame.

I’m a Star Wars fan so have to include Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

I know there was some criticism of the movie but I enjoyed Jo Jo Rabbit

Judy

Once upon a time in Hollywood was ok.

Blinded by the Light – because I love Bruce Springsteen!!

Where d’you go Bernadette – because I loved the book.

 

3. Have you watched any of them more than once?

The Star Wars one.

 

4. Do you have any TV show recommendations?

The Mandalorian – ah! Baby Yoda!!

Just watching Moneyheist now…

and Schitt’s Creek …. great for a giggle

I should wave the Irish flag here and recommend Normal People

 

5. What is your next vacation going to be (if we ever get over this virus)?

I honestly don’t know!   I come and go all the time – and don’t plan very far in advance.   I’ve no idea what timeline I’m aiming for so I’ve shut that part of my brain down.  In an ideal world – where covid vanishes overnight – I’m going to seize the day and go, go, go…. BUT… top of my list is the Galapagos Islands.  If we ever get traveling again,  that’s what I’m going to aim for.

 

6. What will your first restaurant/food be to celebrate the end of quarantine?

Easy – Carvery lunch in my local pub – Roast beef,  roast spuds,  stuffing,  gravy…. it just never tastes the same at home!!

 

7. How much longer do you think we will have to wait for a vaccine (is the glass have full or half empty)?

Sorry – half empty here – I can’t see it any time soon… maybe late 2021 at best but I’m not even speculating.
