I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
Happy eating! Just eaten my way through a Somerfield Duck Wrap, very nice but not very filling!!
ReplyDeleteApologies for lack of chat, days before they have begun are over in a flash and can not seem to stop this fast pace at mo. House is also a nightmare as builders have started and can't stand to stay in for long before I want to be out of the door!!
If only I had read your last blog sooner, I would have taken the camera to Hayfield Show but Martin was to use it to photo the Wacky Races but guess what!!!.....he forgot to take it!!!!!!!!! So apologies no photos this time but it was glorious day and has been for about a week now - looking good for your return Lyn (we are hoping you don't bring the rainy season back with you!!)

No wacky races photos? That's him off my Christmas list. I hope other people took some.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be telling anyone who knows me that I'll be in the Beehive on Friday the 10th, buying beer for them. Not too late of course, with the big event looming.
Thank you! Just so you know, since I don't get my present from you till early October I've decided that it's still my birthday till then :-)

Hey Alex, from clues left scattered around this blog, I can guess that your birthday present will either be:
ReplyDelete1. A silk purse (to kick start Lyns new import business)..
2. A bag of assorted fried insects.
3. An old tin of Singha (drained)- crushed into the shape of a tuktuk.
4.A transexual.
5. 'Led' shorts.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a transexual. I'd be the envy of all my friends!

Alex, meet Sandy. Oh you already have. Now all we need is for Alex from France to start chirping.
ReplyDeleteAlex, I can't promise you a ladyboy, but believe you don't want one. They are way too creepy with their too-direct gazes and permanent smiles. And anyway you'd be jealous of their legs.
I'd make it follow me around and give people creepy stares every time they asked me to do something.
ReplyDelete"Back away slowly or I'll throw you to my transexual!"
It'd be great. Well worth the insecurity :-s
