Three random facts about myself
FACT ONE
In August I’m going to be a grandmother, of a little boy, for the first time. I’m so looking forward to this, you can’t imagine. Also, this will give me a reason to sew all of the cute baby clothes.
FACT TWO
My husband and I met in 1979 behind the dishwasher at the student restaurant where we both had a student job. Two months after that moment we kissed for the first time and we still do.
FACT THREE
I hate doing sports because I have a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y no talent for it. I once was a goalkeeper for a benefit football game with the youth movement of which I was a member. We lost with 0-20! And I made one of the goals.
Diane’s Questions for me
- Do you have a bad habit and if so what is it?
Procrastination, I guess. - If money was no object, where would you fly to in the whole world?
Seychelles! - What food do you hate?
Warm red cabbage! This is a real childhood trauma. - How many sewing machines/overlockers have you got?
I have a 38-year old orange Toyota, a 2-year old Brother and a 1,5-year old Juki overlocker. - Name 3 famous people you would love to share a dinner table with.
Tilda Swinton, Frida Kahlo & Nick Cave.
My nominated bloggers, in no particular order:
And my 5 questions are
- What is the first thing you ever sewed?
- What was your favourite garment for dress-up parties when you were little?
- What is the strangest thing you had under your presser foot?
- Where is the furthest you travelled?
- What is the funniest movie you have ever seen?
I would love to read your answers but don’t worry if you don’t have time for it!
Thanks so much for the sweet words Wis and for being a good sport and joining in. I
I loved reading your answers! I especially love the photo of you and hubby…very special…
But I had to chuckle at the 0-20 score in football…especially the bit about one of the goals being scored by you!
Can I come to the Seychelles too? xx
Wouldn’t that be nice a breakaway to Seychelles? I loved this Mystery Blogger award, I had fun writing this. Thanks again for nominating me, Diane. Baci xx Wis
I love that photo of you and your husband in your student days. It’s terrific.
Thanks for the compliment, Sofie. I can’t believe how young we look and we thought we were already all grown up!
