| Introduction | Having spent seven years living in France I have now returned to the UK. My partner and I have separated and after about 30 years working in theatres and offices, I have now begun work as a carer in a very plush retirement home. I'm sure I will have lots to moan about here. |
| Interests | cooking, bichons, porcelain, France, shoes boots and gloves, Weight Watchers, OU, gardening, history, daydreaming, geriatric care, palliative care, love and friendship. |
| Favorite Movies | Paris Texas, Withnail and I, Topsy Turvy, The Lives of Others, Branagh's Hamlet, Meryl Streep films, Woody Allen films, Pulse - Pink Floyd in concert, TV stuff - The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, The Lost Room, Spaced, There's lots of others - I love to watch films and because of the lack of Version Originale films in our part of France, we bought a projector and turned a wall into a 'movie experience'. I even rustle, fidget and chat a bit just to simulate the real thing. |
| Favorite Music | Richard Thompson, Nick Drake, Mahler, Sondheim, Pulp, Al Stewart, Puccini, Beethoven, all the 'big' violin concertos, Gilbert & Sullivan, Ella Fitzgerald, corny old musicals but nothing by Lloyd Webber - he pinched most of it from Puccini anyway, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Turin Brakes, The Killers, Pink Floyd. |
| Favorite Books | Writers I admire - oh, so very many, here's a few, Peter Ackroyd, Julian Barnes, Bruce Robinson, Umberto Eco, Pat Barker, John Irving, Neville Cardus, Dickens, Alan Bennett, Shakespeare, Lord Byron, But there are lots of other authors whose books I like to read and I really enjoy a good history book |
You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?
The vomit that is over it (come on, if you'd been on the roller coaster three times in a row would you want to buy a toffee apple; yes, us Brits call it a toffee apple)
