So I'm tagged. I have already gassed on heaps about myself, but I will try to find 5 new things.
Five things about me.
[Edit: I just looked at Melani's Diary to try to tag her (too late) - I see this what I've written is pretty massive compared to that so here is the short version.
1. I'm Australian.
2. I plan to holiday in New Zealand next year.
3. I have been married 3 times.
4. My family has a dog.
5. I like to go canoeing occasionally.]
1. I'm Australian. When I was in High School I had three American best friends and an American boy friend. I had an American accent!! The boy and the 2 girls I was close to went back to America to finish high school, and our correspondence petered out after a while. However, when I was in first year Uni, one came back to visit her parents who were still here, and I had a coffee with her and my new Australian boyfriend. They noticed that when I was looking at him and talking I sounded Australian and when I was addressing her I sounded American!!
(Yep. I am a bit weird.)
2. I have been lucky enough to have travelled a bit, both in Australia and overseas a couple of times. Sometimes I think maybe it's a waste spending money on travel when it is needed around the house, but then I find that looking back over my life, those travelling times stand out. There have been some take your breath away moments.
We have booked a holiday to New Zealand for next year.
With the children.
3. I have been married three times.
I have been with my current husband for 17 years.
4. We have a dog. She is moderately well behaved but quite independent minded and not as cuddly as we wanted. Well, not cuddly at all. She just tolerates being cuddled. Depending how high up in the family pecking order the cuddler is, she endures quietly, or moans sadly, or quietly growls.
5. Last summer my husband and I and some old friends who used to go canoeing together, got together again and took our 2 children as well and went canoeing down the Blackwood River for a weekend. I love being in a canoe - it's exciting and peaceful at the same time. Mind you getting out again was pretty difficult- especially from a kayak, as I have such short wide legs and virtually no
stomach muscles!!
