1.  The sun is shining as I type this, so my first question is:
After the cold weather of Winter,  what is the first thing you like to do when the sun shines?

When warmth returns, my favourite thing is to get the patio furniture out of storage and all of Sid’s outdoor toys and sit on the deck and relax. Probably nearly tying for first place would also be planting flowers although up here, they’re not safe from frost until after the second weekend in June.

2. Do you tan easily?

I do actually, I guess chalk it up to my eastern European genes. It definitely wouldn’t come from the UK genes. Years ago I used to change into a tank top as soon as I came home for lunch and eat outside, within fifteen minutes I’d have colour.

3. Have you / would you use a nudist beach?

I’ve never been to a nudist beach, no. Would I? At this point in my life I highly doubt it. I did go skinny dipping in a pool when I was eighteen but that doesn’t really count.

4. Were you any good at building sand castles?

I have no patience for building sand castles, also very little imagination. I’d much rather dig trenches towards the water and then pour buckets of water into them and watch it run down to the lake.
