- About Me:
- Paints, draws, makes art quilts, and gardens. Drives too fast around roundabouts. Likes to talk. Hates cooking. My DH says the following about me: you can hit a window from ten paces with your toenail clippings/ you can give directions from a map despite being unable to tell left from right/ your ears are adjustable/ a terrapin has laughed at your singing/ you rescued a duckling from a piranha infested canal/ you burnt down the kitchen and the allotment and the shed/ you won a prize for best Easter cake in North Somerset/ you have a didgeridoo/ you played centre half for Weston super Mare Athletic/ you've climbed Snowdon/ you can charm warts/ you've shaken hands with Tony Blair/ (nb those last 2 aren't connected in any way!) and the DD's say..... Some say you can sense herring before they migrate/ David Bowie once sat on your lap/ You know lots of weird information about how apples breed/ You cook a mean barm brack/ You can tap dance a bit/ You can kill a houseplant at 50 paces just by looking at it/ You learnt to swim late in life but still tackled the barrier reef/ You have an armpit mole in exactly the same place as me/ You can communicate effectively with our dog/ The film Predator was loosely based on your life story/ You're taller than Michael J. Fox and a Teapot/ You once lost a bean in your ear (or was it your nose and was it a currant?)/ You don't look anything like Frankie Howerd/ You have long lost family in South Africa and might be a bit Jewish/
Interests: Staring at things, chewing slowly, emailing/internet, gardening, painting, drawing, creating textile pieces for the wall, chocolate, voluntary work, walking old lurchers, being a prize muppet, rolling down slopes, smelling flowers, and looking up chimneys.
Favorite Music: Changes every week. Am liking Amy Winehouse, but am working on a textile piece based on a piece of Choral music called Spem In Alium - finding that's haunting me at the moment. Oh, and of course, Alabama 3 who are brill.
Favorite TV Shows: Shaun the Sheep, Dr Who, Gardening programmes, history programmes. I quite like shouting at the telly and telling it it's stupid.
Favorite Movies: I liked Pirates of the Caribbean 1 but only because of Johnny Depp dressed as a pirate. I hope I might like the film that will run in front of my eyes just before I die but I don't want to see it yet.
Favorite Books: To many to mention - I get through a couple a week if I'm lucky enough to have them. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell has to be my latest favourite.
About Me: I have gills like a carp. Thanks to my Pilates training, I can curl up in a ball like a pill bug and be rolled down a hill. Someone once told me that I should eat 5 portions of fruit a day and I see nothing wrong with 5 chocolate oranges. Heroes: Cabbages, Paul Merton. Bill Bailey. A really good cream tea. Can be found on Facebook.
