The 'Six Random Things' ...

... Meme

I’ve been tagged by the lovely Sue.

As you all know, I’m not very good at sticking to the rules of memes, but here they are for your perusal …

1. Link to the person that tagged you - i.e. me
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write six random things about you in your blog post
4. Tag six people in your post
5. Let each person know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know your entry is up.

Six Random Things … now let me think …

I have blue fairy lights up in my living room even though it isn’t Christmas
I’ve lived all over the UK, but four years ago ended up living just up the road from where I lived as a child
I used to love cooking, but now for some reason can’t bear it
When I was ten, I memorised huge chunks of ‘The Revenge’ by Tennyson, still not quite sure why
When I was at school I played the violin VERY badly
When I was a child my family nickname was Baby. My dad called me that until I was about 25.

I know a few people have already done this … but if you haven’t – I tag

Annie, Annieye, Bart, Helen, Kerry, Yvonne

Look! I followed the rules and everything!

Maddie Moon said...

I like the sound of those fairy lights! And I agree with Kerry, I love the new pic. You look lovely.

HelenMH said...

Caroline - thanks darling, and somehow I just knew you'd share my love of fairy lights

Maddie - aah thanks, I'm blushing now!

Lane said...

What a lovely photo!

I have fairy lights too, in the kitchen. I love them.
Love your randoms. Maybe you could take up the violin again and serenade Smudge?:-)

SueG said...

Excellent rule following! And great responses. Gotta' love the blue fairy lights. And I do love the new picture. xo

HelenMH said...

Lane - I suspect you wouldn't see Smudge for dust if I did that! He's deaf - but not that deaf!

Sue - thanks, I'm quite impressed at how well I followed the rules this time!

KAREN said...

Great picture of you!
My daughter's always trying to make me leave the fairy lights up all year - they do look pretty don't they?
I don't enjoy cooking any more either, but I do like baking. Mmmm. Cake...

Leigh said...

Ha ha! Love the fairy lights! How nice to live in a place where you can say you belong. And what is it about cooking? I can't bear it either!

Leigh said...

p.s. you're tagged.

p.p.s. I love the new photo too.

HelenMH said...

Karen - I like eating cake ... does that count?

Leigh - thanks my dear, will get on to that meme soon x

Kerry said...

Hey - as per rules - my 6 random bits are up on my blog now!

SpiralSkies said...

Blue fairy lights sound heavenly - a very cleansing colour, don't you know?!

Love the new piccy, you look as if your bursting with writerliness :0)

Annieye said...

Been thinking about the tag. My randomness knows no bounds but my brain is just not engaging for some strange reason ...

HelenMH said...

Kerry - well done!

Jen - ooh, bursting with writerliness!

Annie - you'll get there!
