Fav. booze : - diet coke. Gave up the sauce years ago.
Fav. food : - decent souvlaki from a proper Cypriot joint.
Early childhood memory:- being left in the car. I told it to my mum years later and she said it was probably when they visited somebody with Whooping Cough. These days I think I remember the memory, rather than the scene itself, but when I was younger I remembered that and was determined not to forget.
Fav song : - Brain Damage / Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Fav. film: - O Lucky Man!
Fav. singer: - Freddy Mercury
Fav. music: - Beethoven's Piano Concerto's. Esp Tempest.

In answer to the question What am I Doing? I am just finishing up on the Virtual Tour of Paphos Archaeological Park we will soon be publishing. The tour itself is complete but I am adding some information hotspots.

I remember visiting Ireland and drinking proper Guinness. It was delicious, but I was not prepared for what came out of my bottom the following day.

I'll break the males-only run ... 🙂

Favourite booze: A glass of chilled rose or a glass of Status 99 red.
Favourite food: at the moment it seems to be cheese but as a child it was always chicken and chips.
Childhood memory: one of the earliest memories I have is sitting in my dad's car, going home after we had been to the local maternity hospital to collect my mum and new baby brother. I was four at the time and pleased as anything to be allowed to hold him - and not a seatbelt or kiddy seat in sight!
Fav song: Hotel California by the Eagles, or maybe Harper Valley PTA by Dolly Parton, or maybe the Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel, or maybe ... 🙄🙂🙂
Fav book: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, although the Earth's Children series by Jean M Auel comes a very close second.
Fav music: Blue Danube
FAv colour: NOT black or dark blue/grey etc. Nothing somber or misery inducing 😀😀
Fav flower: see fav colour 😂😂
Kay
Those who do not like cats, must have been mice in a former life! :lol:
