2026QOTD January 21-25

Full list of January questions is here.

21. Do you like wearing colourful socks? What do the brightest socks you own look like?

I have a black pair of socks covered with red parrots, and for Christmas some of my water fitness participants gave me a pair of rubber ducky socks. They're mismatched, with one showing the tub the ducks are in and the tile wall behind it. Super fun but I generally wear ankle socks that barely show. It's kind of funny when I wear taller socks and my tattoos peek out of them.

22. In January 1496, Leonardo da Vinci unsuccessfully tested a flying machine. Do you like flying?

Much like how I like having tattoos but not getting them, I like being places I fly to, but not the actual flight.

23. The pirate William Kidd was born this month in 1645. Have you read Treasure Island?

No. Doesn't really sound like something I'd enjoy. And I read so little any more, that I absolutely refuse to read anything unless I really want to.

24. Have you ever knitted a garment or had one knitted for you?

I've never knitted but people have certainly knitted for me! One example on the left, a very cute hat Elena knitted for me.



25. It’s Burn’s Night – a night to celebrate Robert Burns and all things Scottish. Do you like Scotch whisky or do you prefer Irish Whiskey?

I'm not well versed in whiskeys but am liking them more as I get older. Sounds like some research is in order!
