Rory has started a new Q& A prompt so I’m playing along today even though it is night time here.

Have you ever learned to fight or taken self-defence lessons – why did you feel this was necessary or was this something that you wanted to know to feel safer?

No never, I’m totally uncoordinated and I don’t think I’d be very good at it. I don’t like conflict of any kind. I prefer flight to fight.

Do you spell grey as gray and also is it colour or color? 

Grey and it is a colour. A colour I have come to dislike very much due to its overuse in interior and exterior decorating over the past few years. I find it both boring and depressing to have so many things this colour. I never minded it as a neutral at one time but now I am sick to death of it and won’t have it in my house.

Are you now or have you ever been afraid of the dark?

I’m afraid of falling over in the dark because I have poor night vision but I haven’t been afraid of the dark since I was a child.

Where do you prefer to do most of your clothing shopping – online or in-store?

I would really rather go to the shops because I like to see the clothing myself. I want to see if I like the colour and feel of the material and if it is a good fit. Colours online can sometimes look different from the real thing. Of course, it’s not so hard to send stuff back if you don’t like it but it is time consuming waiting for the replacement. However, I do in fact, buy most of my clothes online because I don’t often get to the shops and there are limited choices available in my size anyway.
