Thank you so much Jan Baynham
for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award.
I have to tell you 7 things
about myself.
Well here goes…
I am terrified of speaking in
public, but as a teenager I wrote a comedy sketch and performed it with my
friend on stage twice in front of a hall full of people and what’s more I
enjoyed doing it. Small potatoes I know, but still something I’m proud of.
I collect crystals and my
most valuable one was a small piece of Moldavite (formed 15 million years ago
when a gigantic meteorite hit near the River Moldau) – I say was… I seem to
have lost it.
I am scared of thunderstorms.
Very scared. Very very scared.
My love of dogs began with a
brindle Boxer called Zulu. He was a beautiful and incredibly gentle dog. My mum
got him when he was 18 months old and I was around the same age.
I am a Trekkie. My favourite
series is the original one. At present I am re-watching DS9 for the umpteenth
time.
I bought my first single when
I was eleven. It was Xanadu by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch and it remains
one of my favourites.
When I started work, the
first thing I bought myself was a blue faux suede coat with white fake fur all
round the hood, down the front and round the bottom. It cost me £17 and wasn’t
lined so it didn’t keep me at all warm, but I loved it! I wore it with white
lace up boots and thought I was the bee’s knees.
Now for the best bit – to nominate
15 more blogs for the award and I will leave it to my nominees to decide
whether they accept or not as it's not everyone's cup of tea, but anyway, all are worth a visit :
What I love most about these awards is pointing you towards blogs you may not yet have discovered.
Oops, I seem to have slipped in a photo of Dusty there. How did that happen?
And there's a beautiful Harleybird in her tissue box nest.
I love the fact that you are a Trekkie, Teresa... who'd have thought!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Wendy - I blame Captain Kirk :-) x
DeleteEnjoyed reading 7 lesser known facts and thanks for the nomination.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm afraid I used it as an excuse to have a good old waffle! x
DeleteCongratssssss on the award, Teresa. And thank you for mentioning me :). As for speaking in public, you should practice more. One of these days you might get a PUlitzer for your writing...and what are you gonna do then?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome :-) Lol, I don't think I'm ever likely to win any awards for my writing x
DeleteYou win awards in my mind Teresa, and you reminded me to post about mine from Jan as well. Head like a sieve...... Your coat and boots sound fabby, and I can imagine you wearing those with a proud smile on your face. Great to know more about you. xx Lovely photo's of the pets as well.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you, Susan. I saw you'd got the award too and look forward to seeing your post :-) x
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to nominate you, Teresa, because I always enjoy reading your blog. Great to find out more about you - I'm very nosy - and I shall enjoy finding your recommended blogs. Many of these are new for me so that's really good. Thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan. I think being nosy goes with the territory when you're a writer doesn't it? If we didn't wonder why, what if, when, where and how, we probably wouldn't write :-) x
DeleteReally enjoyed reading this post and discovering more bloggers, and happy to see Dusty and Harley sneeking their way in.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie - they do manage to worm their way in everywhere :-) x
DeleteThank you Theresa! I am so honoured. I am on the road so have a couple of posts scheduled so I won't be able to write about it yet though :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jenny :-) x
DeleteI loved reading these, Teresa. Many congratulations on your well-deserved award. I wanted a coat with fake fur so much! And that's such a beautiful picture of you with Zulu - what a wonderful pet he must have been. He looks so protective and loving.
ReplyDeleteHarley reminds me of our cat, Brian, who squeezes himself into tiny boxes too. We once found him with his front paws in a ring box. xxx
Thank you, Joanna. He really was a magnificent dog and so gentle. Ha ha - Brian putting his paws in a ring box! They are funny, the things they do x
DeleteWhat a lovely post, Teresa, and it's lovely to find out more about you. Thank you for the award. XX
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mandy :-) x
DeleteA lovely post, Teresa, and Zulu, what a wonderful dog to have as your first one!! I think a Trekkie isn't so far removed from being a Dr Who fan. I love the early episodes of both of these series. I hope you are having a good weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMust admit a fondness for The Doctor too, Sharon :-) x
DeleteOoh a Trekkie like me Teresa! AND a Dr Who fan. What a lovely, interesting post. How gorgeous to have memories of a dog like Zulu - no wonder you are such a dog lover. Yes that Dusty - in there again bless him. Thank you for the links to other blogs too some of which are new to me and I am sure I shall enjoy discovering :-) xx
ReplyDeleteAll this time and I didn't know you were a Trekkie too, Sue :-) x
