In Her Own Words
About her
"Odd Socks"....In my past life I was a doer with everything planned and organised, but then I hit some of life's speed bumps and I thought "Really, this can't be right?"
I NEVER used to wear odd socks, but doing so reminds me that if you are out of your comfort zone, you are open to life's endless possibilities....................... apart from jumping out of a plane, SCUBA diving, or snowboarding!
So, my autobiography?
At the moment, it is a work in progress and will be completed sometime in the next...20 years!
Reluctant to put pen to laptop (!) and actually start autobiography, so turning to the appendix.
"The solutions to all life's problems"
Not a "Dragon" or T&Cs in sight. So...
*Singing in the shower -Bob Marley "Three Little birds" is always a favourite.
*Dancing in the shower but only if you have reached advanced level shower singing.
*Saturday afternoon date with Jeff Stelling (Gillette Soccer Saturday)
*Breakfast beside a lake/river/sea/puddle (delete as applicable)
*Retirement.
Please feel free to add your own suggestions!
About her ideal match
I like to think of myself as being non-judgmental and open, so there is no one thing that I can say is a deal breaker. Probably the best I can do is think of what is important to me and hope that it is a reflection of other people. Joie de vivre with a generous sprinkling of laughter. Someone to say "Goodnight" to and who recognises that every now and then I just need is a hug.
