1. I hang my socks and jocks on the outermost line of the Hills Hoist, which I think is contrary to most people's notion of washing-line etiquette. But I lived for many years in a small garden and tall roses would spike anything long (like t-shirts & jeans) on the outer line. Some habits are hard to break.
2. I am very good at cryptic crosswords, although probably a bit rusty since the second child arrived.
3. I eat and enjoy meat but I really, really don't like handling it, and will always opt to buy pre-cut stuff. Even if it costs more.
4. I used to play the piano and I really loved it it. When we win the lottery I want to get us one.
I don't seem to have a picture of me playing, so here is one of my sister playingwhile I talked about it with my maternal Grandfather.
I think Bron & I were in our early-to-mid-teens
5. I am a complete fraidy-cat and have no desire to parachute or bungee jump or even go on scary fair-ground ride.
6. Riding on the back of Fixit's motorbike was about as brave as I got, but when I say brave you should bear in mind that the whole time my brain would be imagining unspeakable accidents such as losing a leg, and how fucked up my tap career would be if that happened. I stopped doing it as soon as I was pregnant with the Climber.
7. But I wouldn't mind a hot-air balloon trip. They look gentle, and I believe you get champagne.
8. I have almost returned to my normal colour.
Apparently I should now tag 8 people but I am going abstract with that concept and just tagging any readers who live in Queensland. Because I've just discovered that my birthday falls on Queensland Day.

PS. And since she reads here, I would like to wish my Mum a happy birthday this week, which was a bit neglected due to iron-transfusions & school holidays.
