I have been kindly been given an award and tagged by Elin to confess 7 things about me, so here goes:


~ I used to have a peacock who was incredibly nosy and vain.He was always trying to sneak into the house; one day he snuck in, saw me, panicked and flew through the window.It just so happened it was the day visitors were due.Thankfully the visitors were Aussies with a good sense of humour.

~ I am not a morning person unless it is one of those early misty summer mornings when the rest of the human world is still sleeping.

~ I am very scatterbrained.This characteristic can be traced back to my Great-Grandfather who passed it along to almost all his female descendants, except my sister and two second cousins.

~ I was a vegetarian for 5 years.For the first 2 years my mom tried to starve me out of it by refusing to buy vegetarian food and by making me cook my own dinners.In the end I gave up because I was constantly ill but I'm still squeamish about meat and eggs.

~ I boarded my last year at school.Boarding schools are indeed interesting places.

~ Since learning Japanese at school I am a geek about all things Japanese.On graduation I intend to renew my Japanese and in the near future head in over for a visit with some Japanese geek friends from my schooldays.

~ I love old historical things and wish everyone still dressed akin to the 1930's.

I tag my followers if they wish to join in.I pass the award onto Lisa.
