Running Guides and Brownies. Learning Taekwondo. Err. What have I forgotten?<br /><br />March 2001: Working for DrKW, living in London with Becks in Docklands. Bussing to Oxford to socialize. Long distance with Alex (sad-face). I think it's about then that I went to Pittsburg, actually. Might have been April. Pre LJ.<br /><br />March 1991: Year 6 at primary school. Bespectecaled, musical and bookwormish. Going riding every week. Just started Guides. Not really close friends with anyone and genuinely didn't care, which confused all the adults around me.<br /><br />March 1981: Brother born! Yay! (That was why I wanted to do this meme really - happy birthday, Steve!)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tinyjo&ditemid=571577" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://tinyjo.dreamwidth.org/571577.html meme public 0 https://tinyjo.dreamwidth.org/571233.html Tue, 08 Mar 2011 21:06:13 GMT https://tinyjo.dreamwidth.org/571233.html <b>Books I am currently reading:</b><br /><br />The Truth, by Terry Pratchett. I know, but there are lots of Pratchetts just lying around here and it's making me want to read them again :) I still maintain that Pratchett is the Dickens of the late 20th/early 21st century.<br /><br /><b>Books I love most:</b><br /><br />Time Travellers Wife. It's just beautiful in every way.<br /><br /><b>The last book I received as a gift:</b><br /><br />There Are Cats In This Book. It was a present from Alex for Valentines day, and it's awful cute!<br /><br /><b>The last book I gave as a gift:</b><br /><br />Err. I know I bought some for Christmas for people but I'm blanking on what, mostly because I tend to choose them from their wish lists rather than picking something I've liked to give them, tastes being as different as they are.<br /><br /><b>The nearest book on my desk:</b><br /><br />Hmm. Well I'm not at my desk right now, I'm on the sofa. I guess the nearest book to me is Madhur Jaffrey's Step By Step Cookery, which was just the right size to rest my plate on while I was eating (I know, I'm a classy dame). On my desk at school it would be the Lives of Christopher Chant, which I'm reading to my class.<br /><br /><b>Last book I bought for myself:</b><br /><br />Err. Probably a book for school. Timely Tasks for Fast Finishers, I think. I'm planning not to buy any until we are back in the house again. Oh, wait, no. E-book edition of Molesworth, that was it.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tinyjo&ditemid=571233" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://tinyjo.dreamwidth.org/571233.html meme public 2
