I've now been tagged twice in the eleven random things/questions/etc thingamydodah, and so I had better Do something about it.
It wouldn't be fair to answer one of the set of questions and not the other, so I am going to answer neither, and nor am I going to think up 11 fresh questions - there aren't enough hours in the day to do it all!! All that I will contribute, whilst thanking people for tagging me [very kind of you both to think of me!], is to try to find 11 random things about myself to share.
1. I've learned a lot of languages - I have GCSEs in French, German, Russian and Latin (all As except the Latin which was a C - I started it two years later than everybody else in the class!), and then I studied Hebrew and Greek in university. I think that may be enough!
2. There is a 35 year age gap between the FH and I.
3. I don't eat wheat, corn, soya or dairy products. To say why would be TMI.
4. When the EFG was born the paediatrician asked me why I hadn't stopped smoking when I became pregnant, as it was my fault that the EFG was such a wee thing at 5lb 8ozs. I took pleasure in telling her that I hadn't [and still haven't] smoked a single cigarette in my life, so she needed to think again.

6. I've come to the conclusion that I love collecting recipes a tiny bit more than I actually love to cook. It is in my nature to collect information of all kinds!
7. I don't want a Kindle. I prefer real books.
8. I'm quite a procrastinator when I have to do something I really don't fancy doing - I will fill the time with all sorts of things in order to not get around to doing whatever it is I don't want to do!
9. I wish I could crochet.
10. I miss my mum every day - she's been gone nearly 15 years and I think of her every day. But I see her in myself and in the EFG....she's not far away.
11. I love to drive - it is definitely in my blood - Mum and Dad could both drive buses. Perhaps I will be able to drive something sizeable one day! I used to love driving the motorhome.
That is my contribution - thanks for reading xx

Love, love, love that film too!
Thanks for the information - I miss my Mum [and Dad] every day too
I prefer a book to a Kindle.
Not as good at languages - but only just learned to crochet!
re #8 - doing the ironing and washing the kitchen floor. Almost anything but do them!

Thanks, it was interesting to learn more about you! :)
You are amazingly multi-lingual! You have inspired me to keep up learning German. I would love to work there someday!
I don't want a kindle either. I like to turn the pages and hold the paper in my hand! :)
@Bryallen - Thanks, but it is only the French that gets used these days, as the schools only seem to concentrate on that - the EFG did French GCSE, and the YFG is doing it this year, and I sometimes help out with French conversation at the village school with the Y6 children.

Thanks for all the comments, ladies xx
I would love to learn languages, but have enough trouble with my English over here in Canada!!!
I prefer to hold a real book in my hands also!!!
Great info,
Gill
