Squirrel by Dominic Alves |
So, yes, ten things people don't know about me (not counting wife and mother).
1 - I am absolutely useless at coming up with 'top ten' lists. So there is a good chance this may fizzle out around four or five.
2 - I hate talking about myself and suffer from very acute shyness with a hint of lack of self confidence.
3 - I once trained as a chef but hate cooking. One has alot to do with the other.
4 - I can eat a multipack of crisps in a single sitting. I'm not talking six packs either.
5 - I really really really hate the taste and texture of tomatoes but eat them because they are good for me.
6 - Although I make various claims about being a hippy, I loved driving my wifes old Land Rover and miss it now that it is gone.
7 - Charles Darwin is one of my heroes.
8 - I'm scared of dogs, cows, horses, mice, birds and sheep. In that order. With many many other things coming next.
9 - I like the taste of squirrel.
10 - Of the 900+ macro moths in the UK, I can only identify about 20 (on a good day .. well, night. unless it's a day flying moth, but I can only identify one of them. I think).
There we have it, ten things about me. I'm surprised I came up with that many and I have to admit that I did struggle a bit at the end, as you may have noticed.
Now the bit where I get to pick on people *cue evil laughter*.
People that I would like to do this next are;
First time daddy
The Life and Times of A Househusband
daddydynamics
BTW, if you don't read their blogs already then you should.
That was fun - I especially like number 9. So does my husband who used to ping squirrels from trees as a child, not me though as I am from 'da streetz' - well Gloucester...
ReplyDeleteI am now off to check out those other dads (and in any other situation that would sound rather dodgy)
Thank you :) and thank you for giving me something to blog about today .. I was going to run with something completely different but nowhere near finished!
ReplyDeleteOh and 11 - I'm from South East London, but I got out and went to hide in the country.
Thanks for the tag (ironic font). I haven't tasted squirrel but I have had hedgehog. So now I need to think of another nine.
ReplyDeleteYou call N'ton country? [loud giggles can be heard from the heart of Wales]
ReplyDeletewell, just outside northampton.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask. How did you find out you liked the taste of squirrel? I mean it's not like it's available in my local butchers (unlike impala, zebra, 'roo and a few other endangered species).
ReplyDeleteI remember there were hedgehog crisps when I was younger. The real thing has never tempted me.
ReplyDeleteHad a morning learning to butcher game, squirrel just so happened to be one of the chosen species.
