rhythmaningHere is my response to the ABC that has been doing the rounds…
A - Accent: kind of middle class grammar school indeterminate
B - Breakfast Item: unsweetened muesli without dates
C - Chore you hate: ironing - jeez!
D - Dad's Name: Jeremy (never Jerry)
E - Essential everyday item: I cannot live without my glasses, but they are so much part of my being that I shall say my walkman minidisk/radio (and it is the radio it is usually used for: Radio 3 on the way to work, FiveLive on the way home)
F - Flavour ice cream: mint choc chip
G - Gold or Silver: silver – gold seems so ostentatious
H - Hometown: north London
I - Insomnia: sometimes, often: I wake at four and can’t get back to sleep, and I lie in bed, listening to the radio; it is easier in the summer, when it is light – it just feels better
J - Job Title: Learning Consultant; but I am still learning!
K - Kids: none that I know of
L - Living arrangements: in a flat with my wife, two cats, my hifi and lots of books and CDs
M – Mum's birthplace: no idea – no really: possibly France, possibly Alexandria (Egypt, not Virginia), possibly Oxford; I shall have to ask her
N - Number of significant others you’ve ever had: five
O - Overnight hospital stays: none
P - Phobia: I don’t like spiders much, I can live with them (including tarantulas running across a dining table whilst I was eating dinner (it was after the crumbs); I am not too great at exposed heights, which isn’t so good since one of my obsessions is hillwalking and another used to doing theatre lighting (although I started doing lighting in a basement theatre space, so ladders were not too much of a problem)
Q - Queer?: Straight
R - Religious Affiliation: atheist and distinctly rationalist
S - Siblings: one older brother, who lives in Oxford, works in Sri Lanka, whilst his partner lives in Washington DC and works in the Sudan… kind of confused, huh?
T - Time you wake up: usually about six or six thirty, but the alarm is set for 6.40
U - Unnatural hair colours you've worn: none
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: I don’t think there are any; I like vegetables. I sure something will come to me later.
W - Worst habit: belief that I am right. Thing is, I usually am.
X - X-rays you’ve had: skull; teeth; lungs; abdomen (kidneys); right lower leg; left ankle
Y - Yummy: loads of things - steak and chips with nice wine; pasta with garlic sauteéd in virgin olive oil with good parmesan and a glass of A Mano primitivo
Z - Zodiac sign: Aries
