The ABC of Me

A meme that seems to be doing the blog rounds, so who am I to fight it?

• A - Accent: probably posher than I realise but with the occasional awareness of Oxford.
• B - Breakfast Item: coffee, fruit & fibre, fruit juice.
• C - Chore you hate: anything you keep on putting off if only because you know it will need doing again very soon after. Like cleaning.
• D - Dad's Name: Sir.
• E - Essential everyday item: my door keys.
• F - Flavour ice cream: mint / chocolate / toffee / raspberry ripple
• G - Gold or Silver?: neither really, but wedding ring is gold.
• H - Hometown: technically Belfast. Now I would just say Abingdon as it's the first place I've lived in for more than five years.
• I - Insomnia: occasionally.
• J - Job Title: Documentation Officer Technical Editor.
• K - Kids: No blood descendants but a few spiritual connections.
• L - Living arrangements: converted flat in much older house.
• M - Mum's birthplace: Farnborough.
• N - Number of significant others you've had: just the one of any real significance.
• O - Overnight hospital stays: one, to have my adenoids out (because they 'ad annoyed me).
• P - Phobia: heights, no. Falling from one, yes.
• Q - Queer: Elizabeth II. Oh, sorry, queer. No.
• R - Religious Affiliation: Christian of approximately CofE affiliation, though I tend to go with what works.
• S - Siblings: 1 sister.
• T - Time you wake up: 6 a.m. weekdays; when it seems a good idea at weekends.
• U - Unnatural hair colours you've had: none.
• V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: none, though I've never been fond of beetroot and would really rather not. (The exception being when I had some really quite nice borscht in Russia. But not since.) And would really really rather not eat raw onion. Oh, and do fried onion rings count?
• W - Worst habit: being practically perfect in every way. Failing that, tuning out when I think someone is beginning to bang on, giving the perfect imitation of a sympathetic interested listener.
  
• X - X-rays you've had: teeth a few times, and my back on a couple of occasions. Also, I'm (just) of the generation that could freely irradiate its feet when you went to buy new shoes.
  
• Y - Yummy: Chocolate. Christmas dinner with all the trappings. Crumble and custard. Could go on. Won't.
• Z - Zodiac sign: Kasterborous (at galactic coordinates ten-zero-eleven-zero-zero by zero-two from galactic zero centre).
