Alphabet Meme

Another meme. I've been tagged by rdl. Everyone seems to be doing this one .... and I can't resist either.

Accent: Home Counties English with, apparently, the occasional Australian vowel. Don’t ask me why … I have no connections with Down Under.

Booze: None. Just for today.

Chore I hate: Ironing – if I can buy non-iron I do.

Dogs/cats: Pale ginger cat.

Essential electronics: Mobile phone, computer, digital camera, stereo.

Favourite perfume/cologne: I don't wear perfume all the time but when I do it's generally Burberry's .

Gold/silver: Silver. Definitely. I am allergic to gold.

Hometown: Where I live. Currently London but not for too much longer.

Insomnia: Frequently.

Job title: Cook/housekeeper for the cat (unpaid), massage therapist, temp secretary.

Kids: Nope.

Living arrangements: Pleasant one-bedroom flat. Again, not for much longer.

Most admired trait: Outward unflappability. If they only knew.

Number of sexual partners: Who's asking? And why?

Quote: All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well. – Dame Julian of Norwich.

Religion: Indefinable.

Siblings: 1 sister. We’re good friends too.

Time I usually wake up: c. 5.00 am.

Unusual talent: Cockling. Put me on a coastal mudflat and give me a bucket and I can find cockles more quickly and easily than most.

Vegetable I refuse to eat: Onions. I like them but my insides don’t.

Worst habit: Obsessive worry. And it is definitely a habit.

X-rays: Back, front, and teeth.

Yummy foods I make: Simple stuff. Roast chicken, with vegetables and roast potatoes. Grilled salmon. Home made vegetable soups. Fresh fruit salad.

Zodiac sign: Gemini. And I blew out the candles on my birthday cake yesterday ..... another reminder to live each day well.

I’m not tagging anyone specifically but if you decide to do it, let me know.
