💭 To understand me a little better

Good to know about me

I'm a great deal of fun once I've had my tea.

My boundaries

Don't telephone after eight.

How I find communication easier

A proper phone call — and do speak up.

What gives me energy

A win at bridge and a fiendish cryptic crossword.

What drains me

Automated phone menus.

💛 Things I love, can't get enough of, or have been dreaming about

A really fiendish crossword

Cryptic. The harder the better.

Proper bitter marmalade

None of that sweet nonsense.

🙅 Things that aren't really for me

Group video calls

I can see up my own nose. Dreadful.

⭐ A few of my favourite things

Favourite films

Brief Encounter — They don't make them like that.

Favourite TV shows

Gardeners' World — Monty is a treasure.

Favourite music & bands

Nina Simone

🧰 Tips & life hacks I can share

Always carry a spare bag-for-life

You will never regret it.

🧩 Problems I'm trying to solve — ideas welcome

Teaching the parrot to stop swearing

Particularly in front of the vicar.
