Good morning from a damp England....... Even passing cats look fed up!!.......

Right, on to the questions.

My favourite candy? Well, that's easy........ Cadbury's chocolate. Fruit and nut goes down well.

I had a few scrapbooks when I was a young teenager of Raquel Welch. I sure wish I'd kept them....... got lost somewhere along the line when I was in the army.

I am currently reading a book about Mickey Rooney.

The last baked food I ate? Are donuts considered baked?........ If so, I had a jam filled one this morning after my toast and coffee.

Do I have common sense? I like to think so. My wife Judy may not agree.......

Where is my phone? Do you mean one of those cell phone thingies? Well, if so, there is one right next to me on a small table. Judy gave it to me months ago after she got a new one. It is a pay as you go version, and there is money on it. I have never used it yet, because I can't think of anyone I would phone using it.

I have never owned one of these things, and I do feel left out. As I walk through the streets, I see folks talking into them, sometimes with the phone hidden, and a wire in their ear. At first glance, it looks like they are talking to themselves, and appears to me, very strange. If I think of someone I need to speak to, I will try using the one Judy gave me.

Have a great weekend all......
