OK, OK, I'm back...... Done my first Festival gig now so can breathe easier & stop practising for a while!

Dear, Lovely Santa.... Please accept my apologies for the antici       pation. Here's last year's answers hurriedly checked & edited (hope the answers are connected to the right questions):

1. Still Mid-40's

2. Definitely Female

3 & 9. Love Purple especially my Large MudChoc T Shirt, oh & Black, especially my new special order MudCat V T Shirt!

4 & 5. Have read all Terry Pratchett's (luckily I forget them quickly so I can read 'em again, good value huh?). Any science fiction or fantasy, dragons & wizzards, fiction, thrillers, crime etc. Second-hand is good, dogeared and with broken spines are perfectly acceptable, shows they're recommended!

6 & 7. Traditional Folk, a capella singing, contempory folk, female voice, classical (anything that's good, stuff you've done, anything of Catters, ones with good songs to try).

10 & 12. love interesting crafty earrings, pierced & dangly!!! Silver-tone seems to go best with my favourite colours. Seem to have accumulated stones from various places & beaches...

13. Love Cats, Chocolate, plants & trees, secret gardens, interesting places, earth powers, intuition & friendship.

Allergies yes, mainly alkaline-forming foods (have never eaten fruit so that's a definite negative). Luckily there aren't many other negatives in my life apart from the food!

Love the newspaper idea.....
