Self-portrait Tuesday again! And I'm still cheating a little! My reason for the marginal cheat this week is twofold:
1 - To hide my face!
2 - I thought the 'me' theme would be appropriate today as I have been tagged by my pal Mark www.flickr.com/photos/devilfishmark/4267166954/ and now I have to bore you with 10 (not very) interesting facts about me!
So here goes:
1 - I love cooking and have a Vietnamese Noodle Soup bubbling on the stove as we speak.
2 - I spend a huge amount of my spare time training Army Cadets in things such as drill, map and compass, community work and shooting.
3 - I love stationery and could spend hours on end in Paperchase, just looking at all the lovely papers and pens.
4 - I am a huge football fan and take it very seriously. I support Liverpool.
5 - I am going on my holiday of a lifetime in September - almost 3 weeks travelling the east coast of the USA. On my own!
6 - I have a problem with my spine (neck) which gives me a lot of pain :(
7 - I am about the only person I know who doesn't have kids - must be at that age now....
8 - I am desperate to upgrade my camera but can't afford to for the foreseeable future. I want a Canon 5D please!
9 - I have Reynauds disease which is a circulatory problem that causes some of my fingers to go seethrough in the cold - which is the source of much hilarity to my pals and a bit of a party trick.
10 - I have never eaten a pear. Or an avocado.
So there you are! 10 not very interesting facts about me!

I love the 10 interesting facts and the photo! You will LOVE the East coast, especially in the fall; it is beautiful! Also...I don't know what age you are, but I think I am at "that" age, and I also don't have kids! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHow have you never had an avocado??? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE avocados! You should try one ;)

Excellent photograph, excellent candid shot and I love the 10 facts about "me" even if some of them are sad. I will have to have a go, thank you for the inspiration.

very cool photo and blog post -- and I, too, think you will enjoy the east coast in September :) and should try an avocado!
ReplyDeleteYou should try an avocado (add a splash of tabasco on it). I love it :)) A pear is yummy to, but I'm allergic to pears, so I don't eat them either. The photo is just great!
ReplyDeleteClever composition of your self portrait!
