Thanks to the wonderful Miss Despina I have been tagged to provide eight random facts about myself.

Not likely to be hugely interesting I suspect but there you go:

1) I suffer from a medical condition which has an incidence in the global population of approximately 15 people per million. I know more about it than my consultant does.

2) I am entirely capable of holding four independant opinons about any subject I am interested and often have heated arguments with myself about which one is in fact correct.

3) When teething as a child I used to gnaw on the fire hearth in the living room - which was half a millstone and ground off most of my first set of teeth.

4) I am the middle child of three boys, and I think I have suffered from “middle child syndrome” for a reasonable chunk of my childhood.

5) I tend to be very quiet in new environments - this is simply to listen and watch more.

6) I am left handed.

7) I rarely use a tool for a task or in the way that the tool was originally designed for.

8) I have very few close friends, but those I do have I would trust with my life.
