Let’s talk while we eat…
Does your first or middle name have any significance (or were you named after another family member)?
My middle name means ‘Peace’ but I am named after various family members and have ended up with the initials – JIF. I wasn’t half cross when they renamed the cleaning product CIF. Hey, maybe with the wonderful opportunities afforded to our newly-fractured country (thanks Cameron) we’ll get JIF back on the shelves. Every cloud…
Music or silence while working?
Sshhh!
Music for dancing, silence for working.
If you had a special place for your three most special possessions (not including photos, electronics, people or animals), what would they be?
If I could drive it would be my VW campervan, which I haven’t got. Then I could take my special possessions to the beach. Three special things? It all depends on my moods. I’ve got a couple of rather lovely tarot decks featuring classical works of art, which I’d probably run into a burning house to rescue as I paid so much for them. Ditto my bloody gorgeous six volume boxed edition of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (which, ironically, I can never find the time to continue reading). And, thirdly, the pile of chaos on and around my desk, which includes all the crap I need to draw, paint, create and craft all the various things I feel the urge to produce at any given moment.
The Never List: What are things you know you never will do?
Get married, have children, move to the USA, vote Conservative, climb Everest, swim the Channel, wear anything orange. I feel especially strongly about the orange thing.
See, I haven’t even got a proper orange pen.

In the post apocalyptic world we will all be wearing orange……….:D

I love the way you’ve remained a caring liberal despite all the dough you’ve made from those big plastic lemons that we only ever buy on Pancake Day. Impressive.

I actually have one of your plastic lemons in the fridge that I bought last Pancake Day. Do you think it’ll still be ok or should I put it out for the birds. Serious question.

Ah, “Cif, the new name for Jif”. My only thought behind that change is that people were mixing up “Jif the cleaning product” with “Jif lemon” and over-stressing the NHS on Pancake Day.
Love your artwork 🙂

I think that comes under the category of The Darwin Awards, Mr D. Thank you so much. I am greatly enjoying your writing in return. 😉

I like to wear orange, but I may have to rethink that. 😀

If you like orange please don’t let my weird personal horror of the colour put you off! I just find it to be the nuclear bomb mushroom cloud of colours. 😮

I would like to state categorically that birds should not be fed plastic lemons. Whelkie, I’m looking at you… If you are wary of imbibing your vintage Jif Lemon you could always use it to clean the grouting between your bathroom tiles. Save more environment for Trump to kill!
