Pisces - Monkey - Dragon
Hi again - I'm back!My old details are still alive and kicking, if you care to look: Earliest comments I made on anything that I can find is 23rd December 1999! However, I hadn't got a 5 figure number even then, but just a 6 figure!
I am NOT a number - I am a human being (I think!)
Updates to my previous details:
I am now remarried: 01 March 03, which happened to be St David's Day and by sheer coincidence I wore yellow! I have no Welsh connections of which I am aware, other than my grandfather served with the South Wales Borderers during WWI (yes, the Rourke's Drift regiment, but later!). My husband is now a grandfather for a second time. I'm just waiting:
My daughter has been awarded her doctorate in scientific research and was wed on 11 September 04, only 10 days after sitting her final viva
Yes, I'm a VERY proud mum 
She has now made me a nan - yay! Kathryn was born on 21 January 06, 8lb 7oz 
Holly is getting greyer each day (her birthday is 24 March 95 - she doesn't expect any birthday cards though 
Her mother was a cross between a Whippet and a Jack Russell (they seem to get everywhere!), but she came from Wood Green Animal Rescue centre and no-one knew she was pregnant, so Holly's father's credentials are unknown 
She really is more like a human than a dog so don't be surprised:
Holly's favourite tipples are doggy chocolate, fish and white wine - really! She will chase an empty white wine bottle round the floor continually licking the spout (of course she would prefer it not to be empty!
My fav tipples are
, high cocoa solids 
and a good malt whiskey ... and maybe a really good brandy if there is any going! 
- what the hec! I am still smoking, but am working on giving up, 
- again! I'm a Pisces born in the year of the Monkey ... and the dragon connection? - part of my character maybe 
, but I do have a rather soft spot for them 
I wanted a motorbike when I was a teenager: my mother rode one when she was young, my father did (especially during WWII) and my elder brother did for years, but when it came to me? - "NO! far too dangerous!" - this was as far as I got!
Ah well, better get back to doing something: working on Art Society stuff
NB: No more - I resigned after 11 years in September 05 
so I can do what I really prefer: talking and reading, mainly books - a mixture of subjects, but I do try to keep up with the news too - when Holly doesn't crash land in the middle of the paper!
Cheerio for now - hope you enjoyed reading all, well ... some, maybe ... a bit of this
drivel - there is more on my old page
