Mugs, for preference. The tea cups I usually use are missing their saucers, long ago.
Casual clothes or formal evening wear?
Casual clothes.
Horses or donkeys?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Donkeys sound nice & don't take up as much room in the backyard...
Watch TV or read a book?
Read a book. I've never been much of a TV person, unless there's something specific that I really want to watch. Books make you use your imagination more.
Walking on the beach or walking in the bush (forest or woodland for non-Aussies)?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
Walking in the forest? I'm not really an outdoor person, but I'd rather be near trees.
Popcorn or potato chips (or crisps)

Potato chips/crisps. More flavour.
Charles Dickens or Jane Austen?

Charles Dickens!

Classic books/reading! I've been reading Tolkien and Sayers lately.

Shoes, please, even thongs or slippers! We have horrible things on Australian lawns & in back yards, called bindi-eyes, very sharp, prickly, grass seeds which if they get on the underside of your feet, will make make you hop, skip & jump, as quickly as possible to some other ground covering than grass.
Work in the backyard? or Work indoors?
Working in the (back)yard / gardening in the summer months; baking in the kitchen in the winter months (when gardening outside is out of the question )
Sun or clouds?

Sun, but with a side of clouds, please.
Crescent moon or full moon?
Full moon - it has such dramatic presence!
Lights on inside on a grey day, or just use natural light though the window?
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Lights inside on a grey day, especially if it's dreary.
Travel by boat or by train?
"I am,” said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
By boat - trains make me a bit claustrophobic and queasy.
Lemons or limes?
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you!"
- Dr. Seuss
Lemons! I do like lime on seafood, but you can do soooo much with lemons like using the juice to make glaze and the zest to make biscotti!
Texting or email?
