Rory is our host and these are his questions:
What is the best way to cook an egg, and what is your favourite egg dish?
What makes for a good listener, and are you one, or do you only hear people as noise?
How well can you control your emotions, and is it hard to keep them in check with moments and times when you feel passionate or angry with others or situations?
Is it necessary for you to be remembered by others for your contribution to life?
My answers:
What is the best way to cook an egg, and what is your favourite egg dish?
I like my eggs poached, boiled or fried. The easiest way for me to cook an egg other than put it in a cake is to fry it as that guarantees success. I like my poached and boiled eggs runny in the middle, but never seem to quite perfect it! However, if I’m boiling eggs for sandwiches, the harder the better!
What makes for a good listener, and are you one, or do you only hear people as noise?
I’ve been told I’m a good listener and people always seem to be able to talk to me.
I think the secret is to say nothing until they have finished what they were saying and then ask how you can help.
How well can you control your emotions, and is it hard to keep them in check with moments and times when you feel passionate or angry with others or situations?
For many years I kept my emotions in check. I had many disappointments and so I chose to not display how I felt. I still do to some extent, but if I feel angry or passionate about something, I let it out. Holding everything in did me no favours in the end.
Is it necessary for you to be remembered by others for your contribution to life?
That depends on whether you’re talking about friends or family. Our friends say I have touched a lot of people one way or another throughout my life, so it would be nice to think that I may be remembered with fondness.
As for family, I have no children and already the nieces and nephews spanning several generations don’t know me. My surviving aunts and uncles are in their 80s and 90s, so when they’re gone, so will any memories of me. As to whether I think it’s necessary to be remembered by others? I’m indifferent, after all I won’t be here to worry about it.

What is the best way to cook an egg, and what is your favourite egg dish? – I don’t eat very many eggs but if I one…it just has to be ‘flipped’. I just don’t like the look or texture of a runny one!
A fried egg in a full-English breakfast is my favourite dish.
What makes for a good listener, and are you one, or do you only hear people as noise? – I believe I am a good listener. It makes up for the lack of talking on my part.
How well can you control your emotions, and is it hard to keep them in check with moments and times when you feel passionate or angry with others or situations? – I like routine but I don’t panic as much now when things go wrong. I know it’ll be fixed…like my boiler breaking down again this morning.
Hope you can get your boiler fixed.
It will be fixed…eventually! At the moment the engineers are either very busy or off sick.
bummer. We have a very reliable gas man who replaced our boiler when we first moved here.
Good answers Di, and a very interesting last part to four 🙂 Good thinking for a further question.
Thanks Rory.
