1 What is your favourite fruit?
I am tempted to say tomato {g} but I think I'll go for a tie between bananas (which I eat most days), mandarins (eat most days when the varieties I love are in season) and loganberries (eat lots when fresh are available, oh yes). Love them all, and if I had to choose.., it would be different every day, probably.

2 What is the last book you read?
I answered a similar question a few days ago with Mrs Dalloway but since then I have started a rather charming 1930s one, Miss Buncle's Book by D E Stevenson which may not be as great literature but which I am finding beguiling and fun so far.

3 Do you like any of your school photos?
I don't have any, I'm pretty sure they got thrown out many many many years ago, by me. Which, I guess, answers the question with a big, fat and definite no.

4 Do you ever blowdry your armpits to get the deodorant to dry quicker?
Err??? ...no, it would never occur to me.

5 What was the last film you watched?
You know, I'm not sure? I very rarely do watch films these days, and even then pretty much only at home. But I think it was a copy of the Australian ghost/psychological horror mockumentary 'Lake Mungo' which wasn't flat out scary but really rather... unsettling instead. Or it might have been '2001: A Space Odyssey' which I had to watch for one of my study units (anthropology, go figure) which - as I mentioned at the time - turned out to be rather not my thing.

1. I like those fruits

2. I've listened to an abbreviated version of 'Miss Buncle's Book', which I thought was great fun, and far more entertaining than 'Mrs Dalloway'!

And probably unsurprisingly, my answers to 3 and 4 were the same :)

The author, D E Stevenson, is not remembered so much today but I've read several things and I like her style :)
