The Friday Five: Big Questions

This week's answers to thefridayfive 

1. If you could spend 24 hours locked in a room with anyone, from any time in history (including present) or a fictional character, who would you choose?
Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.  She'd be extremely practical and have lots of interesting tales to tell.

2. Is there any one question you consistently ask everyone important to you?
'Can I get you a drink?' has to be the most consistent - or 'I've just put the kettle on, what would you like?'  Obviously not relevant over the phone, but if you're looking for a generic answer this is the closest I can get.

3. If you had to choose one personally important question to never have the answer to, what would it be?
What's it like having done everything you wanted to do?  Because I always want to find there are other new things to try.

4. If you could change one life-changing event in your life, would you?
No.  The problem with altering life-changing events is that you never know how the alternative would have turned out.

5. Which household chore do you hate the most, and why?
Ironing. I stopped doing it at the beginning of the pandemic and haven't started again.
