Gleds has tagged me with the "8 random things about me" meme. [I thought no one ever would!] I can't think of anything remarkable, surprising or fantastically courageous to tell you about and some of you will already know most of these, but here goes:
1. Such a sweet little angel of a child was I [yes, that's me!] that when I was about 3 I broke a flowerpot over my best friend's head. In mitigation, I must tell you that this friend destroyed every toy I ever had, because she couldn't resist taking things apart to "see how they worked " and one day I just got fed up with it! My friend's surname was Roberts and my Dad used to call her "Wrecker Roberts". I got a rollicking from my Mum that day but my Dad could hardly conceal his delight that "Wrecker Roberts" had got her comeuppance at last.
2. I had a broad Bristol accent till I was 15. Then we moved to London and people said things like, "Look - that's a street light. You've never seen one, have you?" After that I lost my accent pretty quickly but I am told I can still lapse into it, especially when I am tired.
3. I kept all my vinyl records.
4. I talk to objects. To ornaments and pictures I've had for what seems like forever, I say, "I bet you never thought you'd end up in Sicily, did you?"; to those that came from here in the first place and that I brought back with me, I croon, when dusting, "Are you glad to be home?"
5. I have a gold medal for tap dancing!! [Do any Bristolian readers remember Miss Daisy Luxton's School of Dancing?]
6. I have no team spirit and hate all sport: not certain sports - all of it. I'll even angrily turn off the news when the sports stuff comes on.
7. Nelson Gabriel from The Archers was the man I most wanted to marry!
8. My Dad was my "first prince" and I miss him every day of my life. There he is as a young man in the second photo, with a dog [of course] and the ladies.
I don't like tagging people so I won't, but if anyone else wants to do this one I'll be happy to read your thoughts.

Interesting revelations. Thanks for revealing all...well, some of "all"! :)
I love this eight random things meme and I've been tagged twice to do it. I don't mean that I love doing it, although I didn't mind too much. But I love reading other people's responses.
I never tagged anybody with it either. Just invited everyone if they wanted to.
