100 Up




Ok I've racked up 100 blog posts now (Quite proud as I thought I wasn't the kind of person to have a blog) so how predictable to mark the occasion than answering the 1st old school 100 questions about yourself thingy google finds me:




1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
Sawing my thumb instead of a log during conservation in 5th form. I didn't make a fuss & rocked up to physics looking like an extra out of a horror movie. The person next to me in class who commented on it went on to be a big star in Twighlight so perhaps I inspired his love of all things blood.

Print of a Jack Russell / ducks / cricket match & a few of my favourite photos
