"tageth, i have been'

Well, my darling friend Kate, has tagged me......."write six quirky things about myself".

QUIRK ONE:  when writing, I often start the word with the second letter and have to go back and put the first letter in.....

QUIRK TWO:  I love the smell (would you believe it----I just wrote 'he mell' instead of 'the smell'!!!)........anyway, of a freshly lit match. No, I am not a pyromaniac. 

QUIRK THREE:  I have always found interest in racing to the front of the house if I hear a siren coming......to see which variety of emergency vehicle is coming/going.  I think I get this habit from childhood.  My Grandad was a fireman, and I would run to see if he was going past in his firetruck.  My Dad always thought that I'd be an ambo just to be near sirens - no thanks, WAY too much blood.

QUIRK FOUR:  I am extremely pedantic about hanging my washing on the line.  I sort the washing as it comes out of the machine, large items, kids items and underwear......then they all go on the line with like garments----yes, shorts with shorts, socks in the pairs with other pairs of socks, you get the picture.

QUIRK FIVE:  I hate the feel of chalk.  One of my biggest nightmares as a child was to have to clean the blackboard dusters at school.

QUIRK SIX: I think that coriander smells/tastes like cat urine......NO, i have not tasted cat urine.

QUIRK SEVEN: My husband said that me putting ... after things was quirky... what's a bit of extra punctuation between friends for impact of the written language...???

ANYWAY...(there I go again), I don't think that I know 6 people who have blogs, so the tagging 'buck' will have to stop with me, darling Kate.

Hope that you've all enjoyed it! 

PS I was going to add a photo...but my internet connection is having technical difficulties
