spiralsheep1. If you had to participate in one Olympic event, what would it be and why?
Despite representing my schools in multiple sporting events from the ages of 8-15, especially netball and athletics, I have no idea what events are currently in the Olympics. If I'd trained hard when I was younger I probably could've made it into one of the less popular events for the UK (my cousin did a sport at national level), not ski-jumping though because it's too challenging so Eddie the Eagles's's legend remains safe. :-D
2. What is the one song you always sing along to?
I sing along to almost everything, including scat singing classical instrumental music. I also sing signals to the birbs when I feed them, so they know I've put food out and wasn't merely gardening (but the robin follows me closely when I'm potentially exposing natural food too).
3. Do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Yes, obv, why wouldn't I? Although, to quote the novel I'm currently reading about post-communist Eastern Europe: "They'd fastened their seat belts, an obvious sign that they weren't from around here."
4. Car, SUV or truck and why?
Feet, bus, train, pedals, trap/horse: in that order. In an apocalypse I'd steal a small electric vehicle with large wheels that could be charged by renewable energy and had reasonably available parts (tyres for a start!), so probably a bicycle and bike trailer.
5. Are you a good/bad driver? Explain.
I'm a good driver, but I'm now medically disqualified from driving on public roads (except farm machinery for which I have an exemption and vehicles that don't require a licence). I can drive multiple different vehicles with wheels numbering between one (wheelbarrow not unicycle) and many-many. Also, I've driven large farm machinery on narrow winding lanes and never squished anybody, which is proof of my good-drivingness. Lastly, I never drove a front-opening bubble car with no reverse gear into a wall while drunk and had to stay there all night until my friends found and rescued me in the morning, lmao.
6. And y'all? :-)
