Catton's bio
I am in my sixties but still feel young at heart.
Have moved several times in Britain and I used to live abroad.
Enjoy choral singing and reading very much. Also travelling. Not interested in crafts, gardening or gyms.
Love meeting people which has been difficult with covid.
Life very different now as I live alone and have lost many close family members. -

Would you be happy to be weighed before boarding a flight?Yes. IN the great scheme of things why not. There is nothing worse for a 5'3'' , 8 stone woman than having to sit beside an obese / fat person , yes let's say the words, on a plane. I have paid for my seat and do not want the ' overspill' from the person beside me as well Heavier people should have to pay more for a wider seat especially on long haul flights.ViewDate:

Silversurfers Book Club Summer 2022I read Fern Britton's book The Good Servant and thought have read this before. Britton's book is almost identical to Wendy Holden's book The Governess which was written a few years ago and is a much better read.ViewDate:

Would you be more inclined to travel overseas if costly PCR tests were no longer required?Much as I would love to, there is no way I will travel abroad for at least another year or so. With covid levels still rising despite more people being jabbed folk are still getting covid. Vaccinations are only part of the recovery. What is the innoculation rate the of the country you may visit ? How good is their health care for visitors ? I have a lot of close family overseas whom I would love to visit but sadly NOT YET.ViewDate:

Should the Toyko Olympics go ahead?Much as I really love the Olympic Games I think it should be postponed because of the virus which will spread and increase numbers getting the disease. Look at the situation re European Cup. I feel sorry for all the atheletes who have trained towards the Games.ViewDate:

Do you keep your car in your garage or is it full of junk?Have always put the car in the garage and always will. When moving house it is one of my main requests that there is a garage. There is no way I am going to scrape ice from cars on winter mornings.ViewDate:

Are M&S right to sue Aldi over Cuthbert the copycat of Colin the Caterpillar?I agree with most of the opinions here. When you consider the court costs to bring the case over something which in the long run will not change public opinion Marks looks as though they are being very petty. Basically people will buy whichever taste they prefer. Also many supermarkets e.g. Sainsbury and Tesco are now advertising price matching with Aldi.ViewDate:

Silversurfers Book Club Spring 2021Read Cilka's journey and although interesting I felt it was a bit slow and predictable. Tattooist of Auschwitz was much better. I did enjoy A Single Thread by Tracey Chevalier. A calming story in these covid times and very interesting learning about broderers and how the kneelers were made. Women had such a difficult time then if they were single.ViewDate:

Silversurfers Book Club Winter 2020/21Steve Cavanagh's book 50/50 was really good. It got me thinking as to who committed the murder and how. I have since read The Liar which is good also. Tidelands was okay but I hear the follow up Dark Tides is better. Looking forward to reading Andrew Marr's book.ViewDate:

Weddings - who should pay for what?Most couples marry later nowadays , are working and usually have their own home. We gave our kids a sum of money to put toward their weddings but we did not pay half. What are the bride's parents contributing ? I paid for my daughters dresses. In fact the only thing 'free' was the church which was the most important bit.ViewDate:
