21. It’s International Infection Week – we all got into the habit of carrying around some hand sanitiser back in the C19 days. Do you still do that?
I kept a bottle in my car for a while until it got too hot and burst open. I keep trying to remember to get a packet of hand wipes to put in there like the one I have in the hydration pack I wear when I walk.
22. Have you ever seen a Fabergé egg?
I don't think so. Maybe there was one in a museum at some point?
23. Michael Crichton was born on this day in 1942. Have you read any of his novels (e.g. Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, The Great Train Robbery) or seen anything he screenwrote or produced (ER, Twister, Looker)?
I haven't read any of his books, but I've seen a lot of the movies: Coma, Looker, Runaway, Jurassic Park and its sequels, Disclosure, Congo, Twister, Sphere.
24. Today, in 2003, was the final transatlantic flight of Concorde, ending 27 years of supersonic history. It carried 100 celebrities from New York and touched down at Heathrow Airport in the UK. Have you ever seen the Concorde aircraft?
I always thought it would be cool to ride it, but it was very unlikely since I'd have to make a trip specifically for that. I didn't even make it to the UK until 2018.
25. Today is International Artist Day – when was the last time you went to an art gallery?
It's been a bit, but this question is timed well because I'm hoping to get to a local gallery soon because my friend who owns it is showing his own photography. There's an annual wood art show and the last time I was there was probably to see the most recent one.
