Things That Make My Day

January was hot; cyclone ridden; flood ravaged and pretty dispiriting here in Queensland, Australia. It was really hard to get back into work mode; and I ambled along slowly. So when Rossandra White gave me this award, it was an appreciated lift! What made it even more special is that she didn’t give it out to the standard 15 people, she was choosy.

As I give out the Written Acts of Kindness Award and listed my favourite writer’s blogs in December, it’s not so easy to pass this award on. I already share the blogs I love. So while I get a new list together, please, go and hang out with Rossandra at: http://rossandrawhite.com.

As part of the award, I believe I am to share seven things about me.

I have been writing ever since I was a little girl. Before computers, my greatest treasures were my typewriters and they were used often.
I love mavericks! People who aren’t afraid to step outside the box and be themselves appeal to me.
Our cats are bilingual. No seriously, my husband is Canadian and the boys will not respond to calls for “dinner.” They only come running for “supper.”
I have played piano and organ since I was eight and am now learning acoustic guitar… and am very much looking forward to the point where it stops making my ears bleed!
I don’t care how many times I have seen them, I will always re-watch episodes of The Big Bang Theory, anything Terry Pratchett, the Goodies, Gilmore Girls, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek The Next Generation and Long Way Down/Around.
Miniatures such as Legoland, dolls houses and the like have always fascinated me. I think it is the aspect of re-creating something in a new medium that draws me in.
I am a book addict. I had a few hundred listed as read on Goodreads, but I know there are dozens more I won’t remember reading until I have seen the book jacket.
