I've been tagged twice now for this meme, by both Robin and Late Bloomer, so although I'll probably struggle with this, I'd better get my backside into gear and do it :-)
Seven Random Things About Me
1. At Uni my on-campus shared self-catering unit (or SCU - members were known as S.C.U.M.) was known as "The Jungle" because of all the indoor pot plants I kept, including a large pot plant stand with 8 shelves in my bedroom, and a hanging pole with four plants on it in the lounge room (plus numerous other plants, none of which, amazingly, were edible or smokeable ;-)
2. I played the flute in high school but gave up when my new (young, overweight, male) tutor spent more time staring at my cleavage than at the sheet music.
3. I hate wearing skirts and dresses, they make me feel frumpy and uncomfortable. Yes, I know that's bizarre. I live in denim jeans in winter and long denim shorts in summer. As a bonus, they don't need washing as often as other clothes.
4. I don't have a sweet tooth, but my favourite sweet food is Darryl Lea soft-eating licorice. I don't buy it because I eat the whole bag in one day :-o Am then, predictably, a bit "crook in the guts" afterwards, shall we say...
5. I plan to get my PhD when the kids have all finished school, when I'll be 50. Just because. For now I have a B.Sc. and a Grad. Dip. Env. Mgt.
6. My favourite activity is a tie between making (in our stove top espresso) and drinking coffee (a simple flat white, if you please), and reading. Doing both at once is a little bit of heaven.
7. If I had the opportunity to live somewhere other than here, it would be in Italy. Despite never having been there (and probably never will now that getting there is so un-environmentally-friendly), I love everything about it, particularly the grand gardens, the coffee and the slow food. Sigh :-)
