Seven Things About Me MEME

[debris4spike]

I was tagged by 

kaczurda and as some of you have known me a bit longer than some of the others I have tried to be a bit obscure!!

1) I am "addicted" to strong tea - but only if made with full-fat milk (as I am allergic to semi-skimmed and skimmed milk)

2) I am a year older than James Marsters - but until I went to a concert of his in May I had never, ever attended a concert before ....

3) Well other than the fact that I play the clarinet in an orchestra and 2 bands, which do hold concerts. So I usually attend about 8 - 10 concerts a year ... but only as a performer!

4) I am a member of The Blakes 7 fan-club - and have been since the show originally aired in 1978.

5) I have 2 silicon implants in my body .... shall I leave it at that, or tell you that they are in my right eye!!

6) I had to take my driving test 3 times before I passed it.

7) I love doing jig-saw puzzels and at present am working on 2. A 3,000 piece one of a garden party and a 1,000 piece one of "Pirates".

I tag writero (but if life is too busy I shall understand!)

mmmmmmmm... strong tea... I'm right there with ya on that one :-)

I'll put the kettle on - you bring the biccies!

Jigsaws - yes! I have a 2,000 piece spread over dining table right now. it’s been there for 2 months as it is sooooo difficult!

[debris4spike]

Yes - mine go on sheets of hardboard so that I can move them under the sofa to get them out of the way when I get stuck!!

Jig saw puzzles are awesome! Well, all puzzles are. I love to challenge myself....maybe that's why I'm so good at math....though I do have a deep hatred for school.

And I play clarinet, too, in my school band. This year will be my 2nd year...last year I switched from flute to clarinet...I had played flute for 5 years though!

[debris4spike]

Yes - Maths was my fave subject as well.

I have recently had to play sax as well - as I had to for a concert last year and this year I have had a long-running chest infection and playing the alto sax is easier for me. Never tried the flute tho' ... which do you prefer?

How interesting that you are allergic just to semi-skimmed and skimmed milk. I'm a little baffled by that as it's usually the lactose that's the problem - what part is it that you're allergic to?

[debris4spike]

I think it is in the processing - as I am also allergic to butter - but not to cream! Can't think of any other explanation! (Well other than I am plain wierd!!) So when I am out I tend to have a cold drink or black coffee - then I am OK!

I love jigsaw puzzles too, the bigger the better. But I haven't done one for years. In fact the last one is hanging on my wall as I didn't have the heart to put it away because the kids helped me to do it. And of course it's a horsie one so it fits in well around here with all the other pictures, statues and stuffed horses. Not forgetting the real ones too :)

[debris4spike]

My jigsaws tend to be more unusual ones - Mum likes the "cottage-type" views. Toni has a horsey one on her wall that was done by all the family one Christmas and she hadn't the heart to break up!

Hope all is well with your "family"

Allergies are funny things. I drink skimmed milk most of the time, and hate it if I get semiskimmed in a cup of tea. As for full fat - eeeew.

[debris4spike]

It looks like we should go staright to the Cornish Clotted Cream then ('cos I can have that OK!)

I love puzzles! I went through a phase a few years ago where I couldn't stop doing them! It was like some sort of twisted addiction, heh.

I am a little surprised about your concert attendance though. It seems that most people I know, who are musicians, attend more concerts than most, not the other way around! Interesting.

[debris4spike]

I'm in the puzzel addiction phase at present - as to concerts - maybe it is that I know how badly I play I don't want to pay money to hear others play as badly .... and then I heard James ... and the rest is history!!
