Nicked from [profile] prairie_kittin, because I need a break in the middle of customers and proofs.

The ABC's of Me.....

A - Accent: Bog-standard English Received Pronounciation.

B - Breakfast Item: Tea.

C - Chore you hate: Scrubbing flagstone floors (no, we do not really live in the 17th C: it just feels like it).

D - Dad's Name: Ken (no Kenneth Williams jokes ever get made, however, as my father is one of the least camp people alive)

E - Essential everyday item: my head?

F - Flavor ice cream: mint chocolate chip or some of the fancier Hill Station ones (cardamom, e.g.)

G - Gold or Silver?: Silver, but I do wear gold sometimes.

H - Hometown: an hour up the motorway in Gloucester.

I - Insomnia: Not as a general rule.

J - Job Title: freelance writer, teacher, witchcraft shop owner.

K - Kids: Er, no.

L - Living arrangements: a house on Sedgemoor, plus man, lodger and various animals.

M - Mum's birthplace: near Windsor, England.

N - Number of significant others you've had: 3. I've been out with slightly more people than that, but it does say 'significant.'

O - Overnight hospital stays: once. Horse Girl is now fully recovered, however.

P - Phobia: Centipedes.

Q - Queer: Unfortunately not. Unfortunately, as turning bi might double my chances, but alas, I just can't get over a liking for men.

R - Religious Affiliation: Druid.

S - Siblings: none.

T - Time you wake up: as late as possible.

U - Unnatural hair colours you've had: silver.

V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: lotus root is disgusting.

W - Worst habit: nothing that I'm going to reveal on a public forum.

X - X-rays you've had: the usual (last time was for a broken rib). Partner is currently radioactive, however.

Y - Yummy: food, or men? Whatever.

Z - Zodiac sign: Pisces with Sagittarius ascendant. Thoroughly vapid but with an occasional uncontrollable urge to show off, in other words.

I have finished my proofs. Yay!

It's also turned into a cooking week: I've been picking and freezing blackberries, making autumnal stuff like bean stew and miso soups, and have put up two bottles of sloe gin.

I am also unreasonably excited about hiring a carpet steam cleaner, which I plan to try out in the shop in the next half hour. This also seems to be gadget week: T is investigating the purchase of one of those things which is like a chainsaw on the end of a pole.

For the hedges, not the carpet. Although given the state of the carpet....
