A Big Thanks Dinium

A big thanks to Dinium for nominating me for the Stylish Blogger Award. Check his blog out, the best painting out there bar none. So here goes nothing then. Seven things about me you would never know without this SBA thing.

1. Carol Decker from T'Pau was in my year at art collage

2. Having a 16 year old daughter keeps my musical tastes current, The xx and Hurts, funny they both sound quite 80's like.

3. Its take me 4 years to nearly finish updating our bathroom, nearly being the key word!

4. In the mad bad 1980's I was in a convoy of 9 stretched limos that took the Advertising agency I was working for at the time to our Christmas staff party, down Regents street and through central London. The rest of the day was a bit of a blur.

5. I'm dyslexic.

6. I'm a cat man, we have a Norwegian forest cat, from Wales, called Pablo.

7. I did a sponsored parachute jump in the 1990's and loved it so much, I got back in the plane and paid for a second jump.

My list of my nominations in no particular order, and I'm sure some of them will have been nominated by others.

The are lots of other blogs that I visit on a regular basis Matakishi's tea house, Tarleton's Quarter, Iron mitten, Carmens fun painty time are all outstanding examples of how to do it and I'm sure have all been nominated.

Fingers crossed that Blogger has recovered from its earlier problems, and this all makes it onto the web.
