So Doug Belshaw tagged me in with this ‘5 things about me’ meme. (To be honest since I have been blogging I have learned loads of new words! Meme being one of them. But Google Bomb is my favourite.)
- I enjoy playing the guitar. I decided a couple of years back that although I never had any musical tuition as a child, one of my ambitions was to be able to play the guitar. So for about a year I had acoustic guitar lessons with a guy in the local shop to where I work. It was great fun and I got what I wanted – just to be able to play the music I enjoy, strumming away to Oasis and Stereophonics – now I can pick up the guitar and play most songs I like if I have the chords.
- I am a “Crunchy Nut” Nut – I love cereal as a supper or snack in the evening at about 8.30pm / 9pm – you can’t beat it with some full fat milk.
- I passed my driving test earlier this year. Surprisingly to just about everyone I know at the beginning of this year I could not drive. For some families it is just part of being 17 and you drive the family runabout – it was never part of my latter teenage years so it passed me by. My wife decided enough was enough and booked me a whole raft of lessons. I can remember back in February getting into the driving seat for the first time on a windy night, with my driving instructor Simon, feeling pretty scared to be honest. I had my driving test during the first England game of the World Cup when they played Paraguay on the 10th June, so the roads were completely quiet 🙂 lucky me – and I passed.
- I became a dad for the first time this year. At about 10.30pm on April 28th my little angel George was born at home, he is quite simply amazing. Enough said.
- I love to cook. Yes although confession number 2 may suggest a fairly simple pallete I nearly didn’t go to university to stick at a summer job in a restaurant as a second chef – and I still love to be cooking something for the family today. For some reason when I cook I am totally engrossed and it helps me to relax.
Well confession time is over – hopefully you now know a little more about me than what you may glean from my ramblings about work.
Now who gets tagged – well…
