Moi!

When I was setting up the Just Add Attitude I added an About page (that’s the page that tells you a little about the person writing the blog). However I was so totally thrilled that I had managed to grasp the technical necessities to get the blog up and running in the first instance, and in my haste to start scribbling away and posting posts I just added one very uninformative sentence to my About page. I have thought, many times, about updating the page but never actually got around to it – until today. It’s not really all about moi just ten random things which I hope give a flavour of who I am. Here’s what it says.

I cannot decide if my favourite book is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice which I have read many many times or Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead which I have read once only but found profoundly moving.

I always wear earrings, as I feel naked without them.

I cannot sing. However I read somewhere that everyone can be thought how to sing so going to a singing class is on my list of things to do.

If I were asked to describe myself in five words I would say I am: shy, optimistic, conscientious, loyal and forgiving (those of course are the good bits).

I am inordinately fond of cake much to the detriment of my waistline.

My style icons are Ines de la Fressange and Michelle Obama.

The trait I admire most in others is empathy.

Five things I think I couldn’t live without but almost certainly could if I had to are: decent coffee, my car, dark chocolate, black opaque tights and central heating.

I am an introvert.

My all time favourite quote is “To whom much is given much is required” it’s from the bible.
