1. It’s National Tofu Day – do you like Tofu?
I like it ok in things and eat it every so often, but it is not something I cook with weekly or even monthly.
2. Festa do Vinho, the Wine Festival, this festival transforms the Island of Madeira into a vibrant showcase of its cultural heritage. Have you ever used Madeira wine in a recipe?
3. Do you like trying new things? What’s the last new thing you tried (a craft, a new food, a new activity or something else)?
4. Peter Mark Roget was born in 1779 and wrote the ‘Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases Classified and Arranged so as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition”. Roget’s Thesaurus has never been out of print – have you ever used a thesaurus?
5. It’s International Day of Charity – do you regularly (or occasionally) donate to any local or National charities?
6. What’s the last book you read – did you enjoy it/would you recommend it?
7. Is there anything you know is an extravagance, but you still pay for it regularly because you want to treat yourself?
8. Can you take a nap and still sleep well that night, or are naps just for when you are unwell?
9. When you look outside, what do you see right now?
10. Are there any confectionary bars they don’t make any more that you miss (describe them)?
11. Do you like the taste of fresh basil? What other fresh herbs do you like or dislike?
12. Have you ever kept a paper journal? What about a bullet journal?
13. Did you have a baby doll when you were growing up? How about a Barbie (or equivalent fashion doll)?
14. When was the last time you had to dress up for a special occasion? What did you wear?
15. Do you enjoy driving a car, or is it just a way to get from one place to another?
16. Do you have pierced ears? If not, do you still wear earrings?
17. Do you own a smart speaker (Amazon Echo, Google Nest, Apple HomePod). If so, what do you use it for?
18. Did you have colouring books as a child? Have you tried any adult colouring books?
19. Are you adventurous with your menus, or do you stick to tried and tested ideas for meals?

23. Do you know how to perform the ‘Heimlich manoeuvre’?
24. Have you ever seen a comet in the sky?
25. ‘Rotomontade’ is a bragging speech or rant. When was the last time you had a really good rant about something?
26. Have you ever been fruit-picking? What kind of fruit did you pick, and what did you do with them?
