Random Facts

Okay it has taken me a while to respond to being tagged about seven random facts about myself. I have been busy, finishing my father's house, attending various therapies, getting German lessons from a seventeen year old, having bad dates and feeling sorry for myself.




1. This is one of my favourite photos. I have seen it so many times and it still makes me laugh. I love to send people on their birthday.



2. The top speed I have ever driven was 170kms on the autobahn in Germany. Would have gone faster if I had a more powerful car. This is a goal of mine.

3. I have a habit of saving things for when I think the most excellent time to enjoy them may be. I save special outfits, movies, music, wine, food and bath/skin products. The sad thing is that sometimes, the most excellent time never comes.

4. I am fascinated by things having to do with WWI. I have read many books fiction mostly, watched documentaries and would love to go the Vimy monument.

5. One of my lottery fantasies is to have a deluxe camper on each continent that I could tour around in, exploring the world while having the comfort of being at home and not having to pack and unpack. In the extremely self indulgent form of this fantasy I also have a personal trainer, chef and hairstylist at my disposal wherever I go.

6. Once when I was home sick with a bad flu, I got addicted to watching reruns of The Waltons. Yes, I realize what an embarrassing confession that is.

7. I do impressions of actors from The Young and the Restless in the 1980s. I do a great Victor Newman and Jill Abbott when she was played by Brenda Dickson. My favourite line of hers, "John our baby has birth defects!" I am forever indebted to Jacy who, a few months ago, provided me with the following link :

It is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen and it stars Brenda Dickson. Watch it; you will not be disappointed.
