This week i have had my eldest daughter staying with me and we have had fun, she will be 27 next week and wow they have been a wonderful 27 years. My youngest daughter will be 19 two days later, how times goes but i don't feel any older that i did 20 years ago. Of course i have aged and i won't say i look twenty years younger because i don't but i am comfortable with my own skin. I still have moments of mad childlike glee but this tends to be when my children or my grandchildren are visiting. Though my two bull mastiffs have caused me to laugh many times.
Laughing is good and i am generally a happy person. I am a giggler, like my father though he doesn't giggle often anymore. My son makes up jokes and some are pretty good but he is just one of those men who naturally makes you laugh with the things he gets up to. (By the way i have four children and two grandchildren and i love them all.) i have done some pretty crazy things in my life and i can laugh at myself without feeling shame.
I like music, i am listening to Scissor Sisters right now but i have a wide range of musical interests. I have been to see lots and lots of metal bands over the years, last year i went to see Ozzy in Birmingham, awesome but i also have a passion for Irish music (and if i am on my own like to play some reels on my flute). I like Tangerine Dream and Mike Oldfield and Secret Garden oh and the Corrs. Then again Corrine Bailey Rae can float my boat. Let's just say i have an eclectic taste in music and leave it at that.
I don't have a television but i do watch films and have a vast collection of all genres, i really like Asian horror, World film and Artistic Films and i nearly forgot Manga.
I use the computer for three reasons, one is for my work, two for communicating with other people and thirdly for playing a game that i enjoy. However, my days can be pretty busy and sometimes i don't get online until the early hours of the morning. I am a bit of a night owl.
I am not a domestic goddess but i am a good cook....my children visit with friends who always come again and put in requests for things i have previously cooked for them.
I like learning new things, i would really like to learn how to forge amulets etc in silver and i am interested in learning how to blow glass and sculpt something in bronze. I do suffer with bone pain and although i work a lot with my hands sometimes they just don't work well.
I used to climb very big mountains and do three day eventing but now i am finding these things out of my reach. It makes me sad that three years ago i could do so many more active things than i can do now but such is life.
Art is part of who i am, i enjoy creating new things and i like being my own boss. Actually i like being me most of the time but there are times when going out with another woman (as a friend) just doesn't cut the cloth in the right places. I miss kissing and holding hands, i tried to fool myself into thinking friendship would be enough but i know that i am missing someone special in my life. I have chosen to be on my own for 8/9 years now i feel it is time for a bit of sharing some love,friendship and laughs.
