Day to Day happenings in my life

Six interesting facts about me.

I do believe I’ve been dobbed in(Australian term) by Amethyst Snow Angel for this. Anyhow here goes with six facts about me.

1. I love dogs. Since we moved to Australia from England in 1972 we have had only four dogs. Our first, a Ridgeback called Zak, was from the dog pound. He was the sweetest and most loyal of dogs and was so pleased to be selected for adoption he never left our side. Fritzy was next a German Shorthaired Pointer, he was a character who went walkabout at full moon. Mitzy another GSP was next, another rescue and then sweet Lucy our Weinmarana who we lost early this year. At aged 81 we’re wondering if it’s too late for another one.

2. We celebrated our sixtieth wedding anniversary on the 22nd December. That is a Diamond Anniversary. No, I didn’t get a diamond.

3. When I was seventeen I used to work for a radio station and call horse races. I would do running commentary as the horses raced. Once instead of “they’re racing toward the post, they’re neck and neck…” I said …nock and nock! I was never allowed to forget that!

4. I gave birth to undiagnosed twins. No ultrasounds in those days. Both weighed almost seven pounds.

5. I love listening to podcasts. My favourite at the moment is ‘Strangers on a bench.’ Lots of story ideas as I listen to the stories of complete strangers who were just sitting on a bench when the podcaster asks them to have a chat.

6. The last book I read was called, ‘The girl with the louding voice.’ by Abi Dare. I recommend. I love book clubs. I swim three times a week at six am and do chair yoga, belong to a singing group and a ladies writing group which has just celebrated its thirtieth anniversary.

If you’re feeling like sharing, please give it a whirl. No pressure from me though.
