Heavy sleeper usually.

Do you typically stay up late at night, or wake up early in the morning?

I'm always awake early. I hear the dawn chorus of magpies, butcherbirds and kookaburras.

On your scones, is it:
(a) jam first, then cream OR
(b) cream first, then jam?

I only put butter on my scones. I've not yet graduated to jam or cream.

How many miles from your home would you travel in an average week?

My house is at least 2.2km away from my workplace.
And I usually work 6 days a week.

If I would I would go twice or trice as further.

What do you feel will be the next innovation in science?

I find this really difficult to answer because all of the innovations I can think of are already being researched and developed. I guess that's why I'm not an innovator.

I really hope we can come up with something that allows a rapid, cheap movement away from fossil fuels so our children can have some sort of hope that the future won't just be a hellscape of extreme weather and resource wars. I think everything should be focussed on that at the moment, everything else can wait.

Can you throw accurately?

I must need new glasses.
I thought you asked if I could screw accurately.

I'm better at screwing than throwing.

same q

I’m really bad at sports. I like to take long walks in the woods amidst the elves and fairies instead.
