Right Now: Stretched

Outline one way in which you are being stretched.

Right Now: Custard Pie

Your friendly Post Box Custard Pie Operatives are standing by with big, fat, juicy custard pies, ready to splat them onto someone's head, anyone's, on your behalf, as soon as you tell us who and why.

Right Now: Sentenced

To adorn the room/space/area where you're currently sitting, you are invited to write a one-sentence brief for an artist/maker who will create whatever you like - painting, sculpture, installation - or something less obvious. What is your one-sentence brief?

Right Now: Quality Of Life

If you could take one action - only one - right now, to improve the quality of your life in the present moment, and it could be anything at all: what would you do?

Right Now: Interviewee

I was surprised this morning to whizz by the TV and notice that Tony Blair was sitting on the breakfast-time sofa of a popular show and was being quizzed by a most gentle interviewer. 'What's he doing there?' I thought. I didn't have time to find out, though he looked relaxed.

This makes me wonder: Who would I - and who would you - most like to interview or see interviewed?... Could be anyone from any field and from any era.

Right now, for me, it's a toss-up between the real Guido Fawkes and Monica Lewinsky - a likely pairing. Your interviewee/s?

Right Now: Snack, Drink?

Right now there is a butler at your elbow, immaculate damask napkin over his arm, silver tray in hand, offering you a drink and/or snack of your choice. Anything, from any season or country in the world. What would you choose?

Right Now: Simile

Concoct a new simile, taking the form:

'Right now, I'm feeling as _________ as a _________.'

My version: Right now, I'm feeling as hairy as the Sugar Puffs monster.

Right Now: Headline

If a tabloid journalist was writing an article on the last hour of your life (that's 'last' as in 'most recent', not 'last' as in 'final'), what would the headline be?

Right Now: Sound

With the exception of any voices, what can you hear right now, and what would you like to be able to hear right now?

Right Now: Not Quite Right Now

What were you doing one hour ago?

I was fast asleep in bed. Wish I still waszzzzzzzzz.

Right Now: Lunch-date

Let's say that you could share your next lunch with anyone at all - could be someone who you know, could be someone who you admire from afar, could be a cartoon character. You get the picture.

Who would you be sharing lunch with?

Right Now: Habits

I have a magic spell to use for you. It has the power to change one habit: you can lose one, or gain one, of your choice. What will it be?

Right Now: On Air

If you had to listen to the radio right now (perhaps you are), what would you be pleased to hear as you turned on and tuned in?

(I'd be happy to hear anything featuring Matthew Paris - Great Lives for example)

Right Now: Gladness

What are you most glad about, right now?

Right Now: Cooking

Someone who you love deserves a culinary treat. What do you cook for them? Delia Smith Jamie Oliver Gordon Ramsay Gary Rhodes recipes Rick Stein

Right Now: Talking Feet

What would your feet be saying to you right now, if they could talk?

Right Now: Booked

Name at least one book that you're enjoying at the moment, or one that you're ready to return to.

Right Now: Breaking Rules

Which of your own rules would you most like to break?

Right Now: Blue

A package is delivered to your address. It's clearly for you - right name, right place. But there's no name to say who the sender is. The package is gift-wrapped and it's mostly blue.

What is it?

Right Now: Knees

In a rush this morning, so quick question: what pleases your knees?
