7 Things - Part Two

For Kim, who has given me my 2nd award. Actually, I could just post lists whenever I felt like it but Kim has actually asked me to do this one! And I am in a fractured-Sunday-afternoon-mood, where I can hide from the kitchen on here and not have to concentrate on anything much...

1. I do not have a driving licence. Loads of lessons but too inconsistent -  veered between good driving days and totally terrible driving days. Irrational fear of failing the test, but did pass the theory test (2 pairs of shoes to celebrate.) My dream car it would be a black Citroen DS or a cream vintage Jag, but if it had to be a new one it would be a Chrysler Landcruiser because they remind me of the car in the Waltons.
2. I don't have any siblings but always wanted some.
3. When I was about 3 I sat under my Grandma's table and put a grapefruit pip in my ear (pretending it was a hearing aid). Cue late night trip to A&E to have it extracted....
4. I once made a cup of herbal tea for Donna Karan, who was visiting where I used to work.
5. I drink black tea, or coffee with a really precise amount of milk in. The craze for skinny lattes, etc, is totally passing me by...
6. The first band I ever saw was Be Bop Deluxe.
7. I hate "The Cupcake Industry". So twee. Cakes are for slicing...

A Fun Award...

This is how it goes.  I now take a turn to list 7 things that my blog has hitherto not told you about myself. I then nominate some more lovely bloggers to do likewise....all totally non-compulsory. So, a bit like a chain letter, but without any bad luck looming over those who don't pass it on.

1. When I was 3, I got thrown out of ballet class for being disruptive
2. Once upon a time I was going to be a landscape architect
3. I used to live next door to the Little Georgia cafe, which is pictured in http://simetra-junkaholic.blogspot.com/2011/01/stroll-in-norf-london.html.
4. I have never eaten lychees
5. I hate salt'n'vinegar crisps
6. When I was a kid I once got to ride in the driver's cab of a tube train - no, it wasn't Jim'll Fix It; my aunt used to work for them
7. I used to dream in French while I was staying there on holiday

I am going to pass this award on to Kim at http://kimmy-randomness.blogspot.com/.......
