Big over the ear headphones or little sticky-in-the-ear things? Sticky in ear things. Easy to carry, easy to charge, and handy for Teams calls when I’m blatantly at the supermarket. |

How hot does it get in summer and how cold in winter does it get where you are?

The climate in Cape Town is much cooler than the rest of the country. During summer it ranges between 25-30 degrees - December and January can be very windy. If you go an hour outside the city and inland the temperature will climb to about 30-35 on average during the summer months. The hottest I have know it in the city is 45 degrees.
Winter is between 12 and 15 degrees, but feels much much colder because of the Benguela current coming off the Atlantic. August it generally rains the entire month - except in 2017, when it didn't rain at all. We were close to "Day Zero" on our reservoirs running out of water and the Mayor was in the process of setting up water collection points and rationing people of the city to 25 litres per day.

Have you ever played golf?

No. But my friend has a golf cart, because she plays golf a lot, and I don’t need any excuse to drive it.
I think I would be pitiful at golf, as I’m not very good at sports. OK at badminton, OK at lawn green bowls (I was taught that from an early as my father was a bowls umpire - which I have a really boring story about).

Do you know any funny stories about a bowls umpire? I know that's a bit random.  |

Manuel Ortega and James Fox - both known as Eurovision Icons, scrumptious pieces of man candy, and having had birthdays last week. What ages do you think they are now?

James Fox I am pretty sure is the same age as me (29) - Manuel Ortega I had to google - I don’t recall his entrant at all! But he is 104 - am I right?  |

You have chips. What are you putting on the chips? This question confuses me as chips are crisps and chips are chips at the same time. If we are talking “chips” - then definitely a curry dipping sauce, or in a butty with a slice of cheese. If crisps/chips - I don’t indulge. I like them in their packetty goodness without the need of dipping. |

We don’t even have chippy chips. Chips are crisps, but chips are also fries, or potato wedges, but could also be chip shop chips.
No wonder I don’t sleep at night and trying to work out eating the difference between them. The difference between “sausage” and “woers” is also a minefield.

RN, I’ve gone old school and Calvin Klein Eternity at the moment. My favourite is Hermes, but they’ve stopped importing it and I’m certainly not paying 300 pounds to order it from the uk.

Dog person - I’m a little allergic to cats, but I love them equally. I was brought up with dogs and had a dog of my own at one point. I would love a Labrador, but wouldn’t be fair with my work arrangement. |
