With this award, I am suppose to tell you seven things you don't know about me and then pass on the award to seven others. So here we go
1. I read children’s books for relaxation. These are books for between the ages of 8 – 12 years. So far my favourite author is Roald Dahl.
2. Liking all things to do with water and have been called “A Water Baby.” This book is also a children’s classic that I would like to read.
3. I used to have a diet of sugar before attending swim meets. I started the day with glazed doughnuts. Rolly Coasters for lunch then followed by chocolate bars and powdered sweets during swim meets.
4. I placed first in the region in backstroke and also received best swimmer award from the swimming club.
5. My second toe is the longest of all my toes and I have very flat feet. It pained me to think of becoming a ballet dancer.
6. I enjoy listening to folk music.
7. My least favourite colour is Magnolia which is a type of beige or cream. It is also considered to be the least offensive colour in home décor. I guess you can’t please everyone.

I was a swimmer too! I wasn't great, but backstroke was my best stroke too!

Kim - Thank you and Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to having a sweet tooth, although I really try not to go overboard these days. And swimming can make you so hungry.
I think some of those children's books, like The Water Babies, have fantastic artwork in them!
kim - thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteit is the second time i get an award - let me think about this for a couple of days (it's so hot here right now - i can barely think...). in the meantime, i go swimming to cool down - backstroke ;-).
