Eleven things


Detail from skirt made by Hoppo Bumpo's House of Forgiving Garments

Some (long) time ago I was tagged by the witty Bellgirl to play Eleven Things. So here goes my eleven ...


  1. Clothes Shop: Hoppo Bumpo's House of Forgiving Garments. Yep, everything that turns out of this manufacturer's is suitable for the large of - ahem - derriere.


  2. Furniture Shop: Baby Bunting. Well, that's what the credit card statements from the past 4 years suggest.


  3. Sweet: Chocolate.


  4. City: Montreal, during the festival season in summer and under a foot of snow in winter. London in spring. NY on NYE. Melbourne anytime!


  5. Drink: Sortilège a 60 proof Quebecois maple syrup and whiskey liqueur. Haven't touched the stuff for years, but used to be able to dance on tables after a couple of glasses (but wouldn't go near playground equipment)


  6. Music: Too eclectic to narrow down. I have 62 songs residing in an iPod playlist called "absolute, all time favourites"


  7. TV series: anything that's been on ABC TV on a Friday night from 8.30pm onward (Murphy's Law, Spooks, Ghost Squad, Midsomer Murders)


  8. Film: Empire of the Sun, closely followed by Roman Holiday


  9. Workout: Clinical pilates once a week and running after two small boys in the between times


  10. Pastries: All of them. Together. And in one sitting. (See #1)


  11. Coffee: Strong latte during the day. Espresso late at night (especially after drinking Sortilège). Iced coffee in summer.

If you fancy playing Eleven Things too, consider yourself tagged!
