Some Pointless Facts

·      I love skiing and ice skating but am crap at all other sports.

·      But I go running every day because I find it’s good for my brain.

·      Swimming outside is my favourite thing in the world, but I am a really slow swimmer.

·      I read about three books a week.

·      I get very grumpy if I am not well fed.

·      I have to wear glasses for watching TV and driving.

·      I did not learn to drive until I was 28 years old, and even then only in an automatic.

·      I can fit my whole fist in my mouth.

·      I am quite short: 5’4”.  (Well, technically 5’4½” but I always think people who bang on about an extra half inch must be very insecure.)
