I am waiting for my best friend Graeme to come and collect me for my visit to see Ros at Sussex County hospital at 2:00pm. Clearly I want to see her but I am really nervous as to what I am going to be faced with, particularly given the very confusing 'phone call I had from her at 8:00pm last night. A nurse called me and then passed the handset to Ros. There is no signal for Ros' mobile which is very frustrating.

1. What's a song you'd enjoy screaming along to as you drove down the road/highway?
2. What is your favourite place/type of environment to relax?
3. What are the best kind of dreams?
4. What do you look for in a mate?
5. If you were a crayon colour, what colour would you be and why?
6. Has your hair taken a beating this past year or so, or have you been pampering it a bit more than usual?
