10 Random things about me
I haven't been tagged but I got this idea from a friend's blog so here we go:
1. I was born at home as the town clock struck midnight on June 3. The midwife in attendance gave my parents the option of choosing whether my birthdate was June 3 or 4. My father decided on June 4 because he said it was the anniversary of D-day (during WWII). My father's history was a little amiss as D-day was June 6, 1944 not June 4 but I don't think the midwife knew any different so June 4 it was.
2. I was once an alien but I now have dual British and Australian citizenship.
3. I don't like the feel of polar fleece and velvet so I never buy anything made from it. Perhaps this idea is genetic. Lloyd hates the feel of a wooden ruler so only uses plastic ones and Matt refuses ever to touch hessian.
4. One of my favourite meals is a well done steak with pepper sauce and coffee creams are my favourite chocolate. I don't like mushrooms (except hidden in a casserole) and licorice.
5. I used to own and ride horses when I was a teenager. I have scars all down my right arm and back from when I had a nasty fall off a horse and went through a barbed wire fence.
6. I don't like creative writing but I really like doing problems in maths that involve simultaneous equations. I also love science.
7. I like reading about history but especially about the Russian Revolution. I've only read a few books about it but would really like the time to read more.
8. I need to find time to sit in the sun more.
9. I hide things like special scissors, tweezers and small screwdrivers from my family so that I know where to find them when I need them.
10. I'm not artistic but I like to make cards and have crocheted a bed blanket for each of my children though Mike's is to be finished this winter (DV).

Well done, I feel like I know you better than ever...but simultaneous equations??? Maybe once upon a time, but not now!
My favourite chocolates are strawberry and orange cremes - I can't decide between them. I've been thinking of other "10" lists I could write, any suggestions? Maybe food...
Your friend from whom you got the idea!

What wonderful planning to start on such a list right at the moment of birth!
And I have to tell you, I am smiling so big about the part that someone who doesn't like creative writing runs a fun blog like this. :D
