Tea and Cakes

So, Bobbi tagged me for the Seven Random Things meme. Now, I’m not a meme fan, but as it’s Bobbi, and as she asked so nicely, I’ll play along.

1. I’d love to have a proper garden where I could have a vegetable patch. Pots just aren’t the same, and the waiting list for allotments in Dublin is several years long - I’d hope to have a garden before then!

2. For a little while I had my lip pierced, with a ring through the centre of the bottom lip. I’d quite like it done again, but only quite like, and most of the people close to me don’t want me to, so for now I won’t.

3. The first thing I do in the morning once I’m clean and dressed is check my email. Oh, actually, it’s probably the second thing. The first is putting the kettle on.

4. Although I know I’m perfectly capable of it, I’ve never knit a big garment like a sweater or cardigan. It’s bugging me right now, but I still keep casting on for smaller items.

5. I love swimming in the sea at home. Must remember to bring by togs with me when I’m back there in a couple of weeks.

6. I refer to where I live and my parent’s place as ‘home’, even though I don’t see myself ever living back in Sussex and Dublin is most definitely my home now. Where my mum is is just still home too.

7. My absolute all time favourite way to relax is in a hot bath with a book. One of the many, many reasons I loved visiting Japan is the appreciation of a good hot bath. One of the many, many reasons I loved New Zealand is the hot baths just springing out of the ground - a hot bath at the side of a freezing river? Fantastic. A hot bath on the beach? Wonderful.

Now, here’s where I’m supposed to tag seven people. I thought about this, and even had a list of people from the Treat Exchange to tag, but instead I’m just going to leave it that if you’ve read this and would like to join in please consider yourself tagged and leave a note in the comments so I know to come and read yours.
