15 Random facts
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 7:37 am
I came across this idea in another forum and thought that it was a fun way of getting to know something about each other, that we may not know. The idea is that you post 15 random facts about yourself so I'll start with mine:
1. I was named after my maternal grandmother (Jela is pronounced Yeela)
2. I have one older sister and five younger brothers
3. Richard and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last September
4. I worked in banking for 20+ years then set up my own consultancy and now consult, write and lecture at University in Brighton and London
5. My first book was published last summer
6. I ‘moonlight’ and write music reviews for Maverick magazine
7. Most of my holidays are spent in the US at music festivals (but you knew that!)
8. My youngest brother emigrated to Australia two years ago – I hope to visit him one of these days
9. I love cooking and make desserts for friends who host House Concerts and feed about 30 odd people at a time
10. I am a tennis nut – watching not playing – and have only missed one Wimbledon since 1981
11. My ambition is to attend all the tennis Grand Slams – so Wimbledon and the French have been done, the US and Oz await!
12. Last July I did a 10km (6.2miles) sponsored midnight sleep walk for charity and raised £500 for a local Hospice
13. I don’t drink coffee
14. Favourite comfort food – bangers and mash that’s sausages and mash!
15. In an effort to try and keep fit I started going to Boot Camp last summer and am still going – three times a week!
