What song are you currently addicted to?
Today's ear worm is the Napoleonic war ballad "The Bonny Light Horseman" by Nic Jones. In terms of music I am playing continually at the moment it's Corelli's Twelve Concerti Grosso Op 6. Gorgeous!
What's your favorite season?
I am definitely a Winter person and am becoming more so as I get older. Although I also love the points of the year where the seasons turn.
What’s the latest movie you watched?
Whatever dvd daughter put on! Monsters vs Aliens I think. Last "grown up" film I watched end to end? The Even Chance :)
What’s the latest movie you watched?
I wish I could sing.
What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
He's not a current he's a crumpet!
Favourite time of day?
23.00 - 01.00 Though I always feel guilty for staying up too late!
What web sites do you always visit when you go online?
Oh jeez, I kinda work online so too many to mention!
What was the last thing you bought?
Mineral water, strawberries and coffee.
If you won 10,000 bucks today, what would you do with it?
I'd probably split most of it between my daughter, my sister and a charity (probably Amnesty) but I might keep some to buy a painting.
What is your fondest memory?
A cliff top on a high blue day; dancing; sitting on my ass reading a million books while breastfeeding tiny daughter.
What's the last thing that made you happy?
Daughter, partner, fangirls in random order!
Do you want to learn another language?
Seriously need to improve my Gaelic before daughter goes to school. Also wish I hadn't cheated at Highter Latin and got my mother to do my translations!
Five things you can’t live without.
Books, music, internet, wine, aquarians & pisceans. I pay no attention to such things as birth signs and horoscopes but can't help noticing that all my closest friends and family throughout my life have been aquarians and pisceans!

You're my hero for even trying Higher Latin!

I really did cheat! I passed the exam on the basis of the poetry (two entire chapters of the Aeneid), the history and the interpretation. Couldn't do the translation at all!
And since you're here....consider yourself tagged!

Date: 2010-09-17 04:39 pm (UTC)but yes I am ab Aquarian - or rather a Aqurian/ cusp Pisces- but until you mentioned it a while back had never given it a thought
and I leerned the whole 800 lines of Virgil off by heart and duly regurgitated it etc - and I regret it too !
love the list of lifes essentials !

*g* It's not something I became aware of until fairly recently but it is quite striking! Btw I have decided that Archie's birthday is the 12th February 1776 and nobody is going to convince me otherwise!
Re the Virgil, the strangest thing about it is that I walked into my exam with all those lines firmly fixed in my head and when I walked out again they were all gone. Erased, just like that! Poetry kind of sticks in my head with very little conscious effort but Virgil is the only poetry I have learned and then forgotten completely!
love the list of lifes essentials !
Me too! *hugs*

*rofl* I confused that with Alien vs. Predator for a moment, and thought, WOT??!! :D

Date: 2010-09-17 07:45 pm (UTC)Very true. Although there is something about winter that just brings me to life. I love it when the evenings start getting darker!

LMAO XD Actually given a straight fight between Alien, Predator and Daughter I know where I'd put my money!!
