Did I mention I like jazz?

No, I didn't. I made sure that he did.

Not one I killed and not a wild bird but a friend who ran a New York-style deli in London offered to get me a Christmas turkey directly from Smithfield. She didn't tell me that the bird came intact, so I had to gut and pluck it myself in the kitchen.

Have you ever been in a position where you felt sure you were about to die? (And survived, obviously)

Do you have any tattoos? I must admit that a small, well-placed tattoo on a lover is a turn-on but large-scale coverage doesn't do a lot for me.

This is by way of saying that I've never had one, but I am seriously thinking of getting one. I've long imagined a lizard climbing my upper arm. I like the idea of spiders and bats too, but here's the thing, I like spiders and bats (and lizards) so they would have to be friendly not sinister as they are often depicted.

But what tattoo might you suggest for this mature lesbian, and where should I have it put?

Only when in America and then only when bought fresh from the roadside stall and put in boiling, salted water within the hour. Corn bought over here tastes very disappointing when you've acquired a taste for the real thing. Served with butter and nothing else of course.

It's the one food that I would say tastes better over there than over here. Sorry, Americans!

Lobster is a treat, Crab is good.

Langoustines – now it's quite a scandal that here in Scotland, where more of them are landed than anywhere else in the world and most go off to France or Spain where they are more appreciated, you have to know where to buy them.

Very much pro. I like foraging for them. Foraged mushrooms are always better than the ones you buy.

Here comes the rain again – Eurythmics

It's 20°C as the sun goes down in Glasgow with clear skies. It's been a very comfortable 24°C sitting outside this afternoon.

Endlessly – Muse

Highly-developed won't power

Contented and just a wee bit sore

Olive oil and maybe some grated cheese
What's the first holiday/vacation you remember?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm wearing no knickers
How's that for a view?

But the candle-maker he got cross
"Do I need to remind you who's boss?

Yes, quite a few times back in the day.

Have you ever given or received a BJ in a moving vehicle?

Never have I ever eaten foie gras

Usually lying in or on my bed. Sometimes in my armchair, skirt up, legs spread over chair arms. Occasionally lying outside in the grass.
