tag...you're it

I'm home but sadly the blog suffered terribly at my being away. A bizarre sickness brought on by neglect some say. I have consulted the blog doctor who rapped my knuckles citing cruelty to computers. With my tail between my legs and my computer barely operating as it moves out of strike mode I coerce my blog into being friends once more.
Not a minute too soon as Angelique has tagged me in my absence and is casually dropping hints as to my shocking hibernation on the blog front. On arrive!! Just as soon as I've poured myself a nice glass of wine.....

Ok so ...
These are the rules:
a.Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.
b.The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.
c.At the end of the post, the player tags 8 people & posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged & asking them to read your blog. I will bow out of that bit as I still don't have many blog contacts...

So now the serious stuff:

1.I have been bitten by a scorpion.
2.I have a children's book written called "I will only wear pink" that the publisher's won't touch with a barge pole.
3.I have flown a helicopter.
4.When I see sharks underwater I commonly pretend to be a coconut.
5.When I was 7 I was dragged by my pony, Shaggy (!??!).Instead of dealing with the blood my father got me drunk until my mother got home.
6.I worked in a refugee camp on the Thai/Burmese border with a Burmese hill tribe called the Karen who ran away from the Burmese military dictatorship.
7.Chocolate and wine are my vices.
8.We are building a house in Perth. I will be detailing this in my new blog My Aussie Build which will be up and running soon.

This was part of our back garden when we saw it in September! More on that later...
