37 things

Sorry, I’m being a bit lazy with my blog at the moment. I stole this from Jennifer. There were 40 things, but I didn’t understand three of them.
1. My uncle once: threw a surprise birthday party for his wife.
2. Never in my life: have I eaten a snail.
3. When I was five: I had blonde hair.
4. [...]

Sarah tagged me, so here are my answers (none of the lists are in any particular order):
What I was doing five years ago:
Hmm, 2003. I was just coming to the end of the taught part of my librarianship course and probably trying to decide what on earth I was going to write about for my dissertation. [...]

Sorry, I have missed another day’s posting. I wrote some of this post yesterday, but didn’t finish it because Dad wanted to use the computer and I felt that I had hogged it for too long already.

I usually wake up (although I don’t usually get up) when the dawn chorus is in full swing, just as it’s getting light.  I find the birdsong comforting and relaxing and it’s definitely among my favourite sounds.

Four things

Stolen from Sarah and amended. It’s a bit of a random selection of lists of four things. They don’t seem very related. Perhaps that’s the point. I wonder who decided which categories would be used and why? Maybe I’m thinking about this too much…

27 Million

This morning I learnt that in the world today there are an estimated 27 million people in slavery. This is more than at any other time in history.
I thought it would be a good idea to blog about this, in order to raise awareness and try to encourage people to do something to end this awful situation. As is [...]

I haven’t been tagged by Helen or the Singing Librarian, but they didn’t tag anyone, so I thought I would take up the offer of joining in anyway, and blog eight random things about myself. I know I have done a similar thing before, with Five things you may not know about me, but I am experiencing a [...]
