I’ve been away from the blog for a while visiting family and then when I got back I had a bit of a tummy bug which made me lose any interest in food at all. So a gentle reintroduction to the blog – Yasmin from Nineteen Ninety Nine tagged me to reveal seven random things about myself.
1. I spent a summer working on a farm wrapping lettuces in plastic. We had to wrap 1,000 a day and everyone else used to cheat and put their hands down the tube to fiddle the numbers but I couldn’t reach so I had to actually wrap 1,000 everyday. You would not believe how bad lettuce smells in that quantity.
2. I don’t actually really like animals much. I love my cats to bits but I actively dislike all dogs and don’t care about supposedly cute fluffy things at all. Some people think it doesn’t fit in with veganism but there’s lots of humans I don’t really like but I don’t want to eat them.
3. I have no concept at all of east and west. If I ever need to know the difference I have to physically hold my hands up and go Never Eat Shredded Wheat in order.
4. I’ve only had a mobile phone for a few years and I was later than almost anyone I know to get one. I’ve had 2 cast offs from a friend and I’m absolutely hopeless at using it – I only text full words and take ages, have no idea how to use the camera or any other part of it.
5. I cry at almost anything on television. Grey’s Anatomy has me howling most weeks but I sometimes even cry at home makeovers or happy news stories.
6. My favourite thing is my bath. I feel a bit guilty about the amount of water I use but I have a hot bubble bath most nights and look forward to it all evening. My favourite bubble baths are made by Origins (luxury), Lush or Original Source. I hate being in a situation where I can’t have a bath.
7. I’m not very good with children because I don’t know what level of language they understand. But since both my sister and brother have had children I’m getting better with them and I love my nephew and three nieces to bits.
I’m supposed to tag some other people but I think most people have already done it – so please feel free to do it if you haven’t already. But be warned – it’s much harder than it looks to think of things!
Cooking the Vegan Books 
I have to do the Never Eat Shredded Wheat thing too. Or Naughty Elephants Squirt Water!!
I enjoyed reading your facts!
I have to have a bath everyday too, it’s a guilty pleasure, showers just don’t do it for me.
And I cry at the telly all the time ~ I’m starting to think I should only watch comedies :o)
Hee hee hee. Fun facts. Out of interest do you eat Lettuce? I’d say that would be enough to put you off them for life!
I’m a bit of a dab hand in directions. I have an amazing ability of knowing which way to go even if I’ve never been there before!
I joke that I have an internal tom tom but it amazes everybody so I guess I could call it a Super Power. Yeah! I have Super Powers!
I also cry at everything – I’m a bit of an emotional wreck really!
🙂
i love your number 2. i’m also an active disliker of dogs, but love cats. and most animals don’t really register on my care-o-meter, beyond the fact that i care enough not to eat them/torture them/etc. and we always said ‘never eat soggy weenies’…i didn’t know there was another saying for the directions haha!
i’m pretty bad at directions too, the “never eat shredded wheat” is really funny. i have to sit and think about it, maybe i should try that instead.
Hope you have a great vacation. Being vegan is a breeze in India 🙂
