I have a tattoo which few have seen. Nuff said.<br /><br /><br />2 I lost half my left eyebrow when Marjorie Doran bashed me with a hockey stick. She cried more than I did<br /><br />I will arrange for Marjorie to be sorted out at a later date. As it's you it's free of charge..;-)<br /><br />3 I’m an optimist but always try to be prepared for the worst and never take good fortune for granted.<br /><br />I'll teach you Blackjack. I win all the time. Actually I'm barred from The Victoria Casino 'cause I win too much...;-)<br /><br />4 I gained four and a half stone in my first pregnancy but lost it all whilst nursing the baby.<br /><br />Just for a second I thought you'd misplaced the baby!!! Otherwise I have no idea.<br /><br />5 I passed my driving test first time after six lessons and no practice. Now I don’t like driving at all.<br /><br />As a trainee driving instructor I don't blame you. The roads are full of insane people!<br /><br />6 I couldn’t swim until I accidentally fell from a sailing dinghy in Greece. On surfacing I saw the dinghy 100 yards or so away – desperation made me swim.<br /><br />That was probably a good thing..;-)<br /><br />7 In 1979 I left my marriage, home, business and friends to live with a man I hadn’t seen for thirty years. We’ve been married now for thirty one years.<br /><br />It's called 'LOVE' babe. Conquers all doesn't it?<br /><br />8 I’ve always believed in a ‘Higher Being’ and some years ago in a tiny church in Gozo, Malta I literally ‘saw the light.’ The cleaners were about to close the church as they left for lunch but allowed me to enter. The only way I can describe it was that I was suffused with a warm golden glow which filled me with happiness. MTL could see something had happened and urged me to sit and stay for a while. I did sit momentarily but felt I couldn’t keep the cleaners waiting so we left. It wasn’t the beauty of the church – it was tiny and ridiculously over ornate. The experience consolidated my belief.<br /><br />For what it's worth I'd love to have faith. Well, I have really. In Carol and Jacqui. That'll do for me.<br /><br />9 Years of rationing in WW2 made me addicted to all things sugary and my idea of bliss was a cream coloured crunchy meringue filled with clotted cream. When pregnant I was reunited with an old nursing colleague who remembering my addiction had a plateful which she expected me to eat. I hated to disappoint her and managed to stuff one of them down. Now I can take them or leave them.<br /><br />When Carol was pregnant with Jacqui I once woke up at 3am with an insatiable urge to eat chicken vindaloo smothered in vanilla ice cream. Apparently it is called sympathetic symptoms..;-)<br /><br />10 In eleven days time DV I shall be 80.<br /><br />Congrats DV!!!!! I was amazed I made 30. Staggered I made 40 and I've more or less given up bothering at 50...er...2 now.<br /><br />Exceedingly pissed and very much in love with a marvellous lady (and don't worry. Carol knows I love your blog persona and quite understands why)<br /><br />She reads you with me don't you dear?<br /><br />hic<br /><br />nite babe xxDILLIGAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520650650468676361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-73406895827163603172010-03-04T23:42:15.100+00:002010-03-04T23:42:15.100+00:00Judy: You will.
