50 Days of Me Update
0Time for another 50 Days of Me update…
At the end of the week – what has been your highlight of this week?
My highlight was definitely seeing LincsGeek graduate with his MSc at Lincoln Cathedral. Proud wife moment!
What is the best book you have read recently?
Victoria Pendleton – Between the Lines: My Autobiography. Such pain. Such stubbornness. Such achievement.
What is the best gift you have ever received?
I have been very lucky and received lots of amazing gifts. I could not tell you which one was best.
If you could take any three well known people on a road trip, who would it be and where would you go?
I’d hook up with Adam, Jamie and Kari from Mythbusters and we’d head to MIT to blow something up!
if you could live in any other decade, which would you choose?
Possibly the 20s. Or the 50s. I’d need different hair though, no way mine would perm!
What advice would you give your 14 yr old self?
Choose something! Stop doing everything and choose one or maybe two things. Concentrate. Decide between music and sport.
What is your very favourite chocolate bar?
If you mean from the choice of bars found at the end of the supermarket checkout, then a Twirl. Apart from that it’s Green and Blacks Vanilla every time!
What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?
Right now? Spotty. Tired. Lethargic. I seriously need to change this!

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. A A Milne (Winnie the Pooh)
What’s your favourite breakfast?
Smoked salmon and scrambled egg on an English muffin. Oh yes.

I take a bath. Or sit and watch television. Or one after the other.

I don’t dance. I can’t.
If you could excel at and enjoy any sport, which would you choose?
Track cycling. I’ve always wanted to give it a try.
Day off = DVD, sofa and food or up, out and active?
Depends on what I feel like. Sometimes I’ll do nothing. Sometimes I’ll take myself out for a long walk. I enjoy both.
Topical one today – favourite pancake topping?
Easy. Maple syrup.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
There are so many injustices in the world. I think I would start with hunger.
If you were to be marooned on a desert island, what five things would you take?
Five things is harder than one. Ok. A knife, some rope, chocolate, water and sun block.
What is your favourite flower?
Daffodils.
What are you currently really enjoying?
The first signs that Spring is on its way.

50 Days of Me Update
0I’ve been a bit slow with my 50 Days of Me updates over on twitter over the last week or so – it seemed right that I got myself up to date and posted an update on here instead.
If you can help me with Day 12 or fancy commissioning me to make Day 14 a reality then please comment below!!
Day 8 – What three things would make your perfect weekend?
My perfect weekend would consist of – friends, food and fun – hooray for the weekend!
Day 9 – Are you organised or scatty?
Most of the time organised and in control thanks to lists. Sometimes totally scatty and a mess thanks to lack of lists!
Day 10 – Are you a morning bird or a night owl?
I always used to be a night owl but I now I think I’m a morning person. I can do either but not both in the same day!!
Day 11 – If you had to choose a season to live in which would it be?
Summer. But not a rubbish wet summer, a proper summery summer!
Day 12 – What colour best describes your personality and why?
I don’t know. That’s probably a question for other people about me rather than me about me. What do you reckon?
Day 13 – What would your perfect three course dinner be?
Potato skins from Texas Roadhouse, Kilo of Mussels from Belgio, Apple Pie and Custard at my Nan’s.
Day 14 – If you could make a documentary about anything what would you choose?
I reckon I’d make a pretty good documentary maker/presenter… something on space or cars or bikes or trombones please.
Day 15 – What are you most thankful for today?
My sight – without it I wouldn’t be able to take in the unbelievable scenery here in Ruka.
Day 16 – What are your top three interests?
I have loads of interests – too many – but the first three that come to mind are music, blogging, and the outdoors.
Day 17 – If you could be any fictional character who would you choose?
Penny Crayon!
Day 18 – What would your perfect party look like?
I’m pretty rubbish at parties I have to admit. My ideal party would include live music, good food, and best friends.
Day 19 – What is your favourite place in the world? (Apart from home)
This is really tough, mainly because I keep discovering new “favourite places”. I’ll just say by the sea and leave it open.
Day 20 – How would someone know you are stressed?
That depends on how well they know me. I try not to let it show. But no doubt I don’t do a very good job of hiding it!
Day 21 – What animal best describes you and why?
A bunny rabbit. Sometimes outgoing and adventurous. Sometimes incredibly shy. Always needing to be loved.

50 Days of Me
0I love a challenge, and this year my New Years Resolution is all about being true to myself, so naturally I have been intrigued by the #50daysofme tag that is being used on twitter at the moment.
50 Days of Me is a fun challenge set by Jennie Frost of Beauty Cocoon which is meant to help you get to know yourself better, find out how you tick, think about what winds you up and what helps you relax. It is 50 days of getting to know you a little better.
Each day at around midday Jennie posts a question over on twitter, facebook and instagram. All you have to do is answer it. Simple. It’s a great idea and one that I hope to take part in daily – Jennie says getting to know yourself is a good way to build self-esteem, and I’m definitely up for that!
Here’s what I’ve learnt so far…
Day 1: What is your favourite moment of 2012? Being an Olympic torchbearer. A totally awesome (and bonkers) experience.
Day 2: Beach, city or country? Definitely beach. I love the sea. Whatever the weather the sea has character, power and grace.
Day 3: If you could learn a language overnight, what would it be? Something like Russian or Greek – I’d love to learn a different alphabet.
Day 4: If you could do any job for one day, what would it be? Blue Peter Presenter!! They have so many cool adventures and get to try lots of new things.
Day 5: What’s the best gift you’ve ever given? The gift I was most excited about giving my other half was a one hour flying lesson with the local flying club. He loved it 
Day 6: What was your favourite childhood toy? Ummm… Probably all my Lego, loved it. (My mum said it should be my Panda Teddy but I didn’t put that because he was not a toy!)
Day 7: What did you want to be when you were growing up? The same answer as one from earlier… I always wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter.
