7 Things you might not know about me
OK I'm game but late in the meme - Rob Lantz tagged me - the deal is to reveal 7 things about yourself and add 7 new victims
- I am terrified by heights - I think this began as a 2 year old when my granny put me on a huge horse. Now if you want me to go nuts - get me close to the edge of a cliff
- I hate films and books about dysfunctional families - My own family was so dysfunctional that I don't want to be reminded
- I escaped from what was going on as a child into books. They offered me an alternate world. By 8 I was reading books like war and Peace - I used to read at least a book a day and on holidays more. I still read a lot - 3 or 4 a week
- The first girl I ever loved was called Beth - I asked her to my 8th birthday party - I never dared to speak a word to her - I can still tell you what her dress looked like. I wonder where she is today
- My "adopted" - he chose me - father Sidney Patterson died in my arms. I was having tea with him with Robin and my then very small children and he had a heart attack. It was the most stunning event of my life - James aged 3 made me laugh through my tears when on the way home piped up "Is Sidney a skellington now?"
- My most embarrassing social faux pas was at a wedding. I met the wife of the Mayor of Westmount who was on her own. "Where is the Mayor?" I asked "Is he too busy to be here?" "No Rob" She relied - "He is dead - he died a month ago" The ground should have opened up and swallowed me. But she was very sweet about it and later in life after some losses of my own I understood better.
- My greatest longing is to be with a group of people that I love and care for very much and do something noble and worthwhile with them - I have a sneaky feeling that this wish may be granted - taking back our power locally is I think the work
Now who will I give this Black Spot to? Maybe some of you have been tagged before but here goes anyway
- Cynthia Dunsford - whom I have not seen or heard enough from recently
- Craig Willson - any man who loves dogs as much as Bub does must be a good man
- Tom - whom I want to get to know more
- Johnnie Moore - who will want to kill me for this
- Todd Mundt - who always seem to be able to make time even though he is very busy
- Tim Eby - when he has a minute in his move to St Louis
- Dennis Haarsager - now he has all this free time! Joke Dennis Joke!
