Oh, I think so.
Okay. Nicknames. What are your nicknames?
I've been called Flowers, Choccy. Flowers? Who called you Flowers? And Lolly. Oh, it was a boarding school name. Right. Yeah, because my birthday falls a little after Valentine's Day, and so I received some flowers. All the girls in my boarding school, not all of them, but some of the girls thought they were from a boy when they were, in fact, from my family, hence the name Flowers.
Flowers it is. Flowers Freeman. What is your favourite food, Flowers?
Garlic pasta with broccolini. Yum. That
sounds good. So if three people were coming to have this magnificent meal with the broccolini and the garlic, who are the three people that are coming?

Movies and stay at home. Stay at home and movies.
Favourite movie of all time?

Oz. I found
it frightening when she's in the house and it's
spinning and the

it. Podcast. You listen to them.
