Hmm - I like it when quick questions are posted for the Sunday quiz. I've got to go out and buy a pair of marigolds (rubber gloves) as I'm off to see Rocky Horror at an old Art House cinema tonight - and I'm not in the mood to go full Rocky. Pity I don't have some scrubs about the place.
Questions, as always, have been provided by Bev at Sunday Stealing.
LAYER 1: Tell us your...
* Eye color: Dark green. Some would call then hazel. I think dark green suits them better.
* Hair color: It's a golden brown at the moment, but I have no idea what my natural hair colour is at the moment. Probably has a lot more grey than I will admit to.
* Height: 166 centimetres, or 5'5 and a bit in the old language.
* Righty or lefty: I'm ambidextrous with a leaning to the right. I write with my right hand. Do lots of things well with my left. I can only use scissors with my left hand. Weird.
LAYER 2: What's...
* Your heritage: I'm fifth generation white Australian. Cornish and Welsh on Mum's side, Southern English with a bit of Scottish on Dad's side.
* The shoes you wore today: Birkenstock Mayaris. It is summer.
* Your weakness: ice cream. And Clive Owen.
* Your fears: Huntsman Spiders and Conservative politics.
* Your perfect pizza: Mexican Hot or Meat Lovers. I'll just eat pizza - prefer the Italian style without too many toppings.
* Goals you’d like to achieve: Get a book successfully published.
* Your first waking thoughts: I want a cuddle and where's my cat.
* Your best physical feature: Eyes and ankles.
* Your most missed memory: How do you miss a memory? I don't get this question.
LAYER 3: Do you...
* Smoke: Not anymore. I haven't for about 15 years.
* Cuss: Selectively and sparingly. Very careful about who I swear around.
* Sing: In the shower.
* Do you think you’ve been in love: I'm not sure about this one. Maybe.
* Did you go to college: Yes. A few times. I have a Master's Degree.
* Liked high school: No, I hated it. The classes were fine. The rest was awful.
* Believe in yourself: I do now.
* Think you’re attractive: No, but I'm not as ugly as I think I am, and I'm lovely on the inside, which is what matters.
* Think you’re a health freak: No, but I do look after myself.
* Like thunderstorms: Love them.
* Play an instrument: I used to play the flute at school. I can still get notes out of it.
LAYER 4: In the past month have you…
* Drunk alcohol: Yes, but not to excess.
* Smoked: No
* Done a drug: Only the prescription ones I take - noting illicit.
* Made out: No, unless kissing the cat on the top of the head counts.
* Gone on a date: No
* Gone to the mall: Yes - but that is where the supermarket can be found.
* Eaten an entire box of Oreos: Hells no. Ew. And Oreos come in a rolled packet here.
* Eaten sushi: Yes
* Been on stage: No
* Been dumped: No
* Gone skating: No - it's Summer here, and besides, I don't skate.
* Gone skinny dipping: No but ask me this next month and the answer will probably be a bit different.
LAYER 5: Have you ever…
* Played a game that required removal of clothing: Many, many years ago.
* Been trashed or extremely intoxicated: Of course. I went to university and lived in residence.
* Been caught “doing something”: And what is something? If you don't define what something is, I can't tell you if I've been caught doing it.
* Been called a tease: Yes. I'm not, but things are changing, thank goodness.
* Gotten beaten up: No, thank goodness.
LAYER 6:
* Age you did get/hope to be married: I'm not actually certain I wanted to ever get married, if I'm completely honest. Never been in the type of relationship which would ever lead to marriage.
* How do you want to die: Quietly, in my sleep, surrounded by friends.
* What did you want to be when you grew up: A doctor or an astronaut or a writer. I became a writer.
* What country would you most like to visit: At the moment, it's France and Japan, but I'd like to spend a lot more time in the United Kingdom. I still miss it.
LAYER 7: Now tell...
* Name a person you could trust with your life: A couple of my good friends. I won't name one.
* Name a favorite CD that you own: Stings, Ten Summoner's Tales. It's a great album. It still gets played regularly.
* Number of piercings: At the moment, two - both ears. They were done twice, but over COVID the second holes have closed over.
* Number of tattoos: One. It's very small and out of the way and I've had it since the late nineties.
* Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: Twice. there was a birth notice and I think I was mentioned in my father's death notice.
* Name a past experience that you regret: Regrets are wasted emotions. There are a few things I'd do differently given the time over, but it's not worth dwelling on.

Hi Pand,
I've never seen the Rocky Horror Show but I've met Richard O'Brien who wrote it. I have a photo with him somewhere (Lord knows where).
Just seen an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Clive Owen is playing a pompous "luvvie" version of himself. It's very funny - I recommend it.
:o)
Cheers
PM
I have a LOT of Sting albums, plus The Police box set!
One of my best friends has Sting's albums. Plays it always when I visit.
I share those fears.
Have a great weekend!
