Wuuuhhh….eeeehhhhhh….

Yep, after being coughed on all day yesterday, it’s my turn today. Jack, on the other hand, is only slightly sniffly today, and back to his usual bouncy stuff. Grrr…

Four Things

Four jobs I’ve had
I’ve worked in:
> a library - It was a university medical library, and I really liked it. It involved much more than just stamping books in and out!
> a hospital lab - working in Blood Bank (which I never expected to find so fascinating, but I did!), pathology (cutting up the bits people had had cut off - quite disgusting sometimes LOL), haematology, etc.
> as a nanny. The opportunity presented itself, and I went for it. The job I had for longest involved working for two families, each with a baby boy (hah! I see a pattern emerging…). The babies were about six weeks different in age and it was great fun. Made me want twins. I still want twins…
> as a temp - which was brill, because I started off working in the agency office, so after that I got first refusal on all the jobs that came in. I loved it - lots of variety, I worked when I wanted, and no office politics

Four movies I can watch over and over
> Pirates of the Caribbean
> Mrs Brown (Judi Dench and Billy Connolly)
> Shakespeare in Love - I didn’t expect it to be any more than mildy entertaining, but I really like it

I can’t come up with a fourth movie, so I’m going to offer two made-for-tv-but-not-tv-shows instead:
> Pride and Prejudice - the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle one, and
> Twelfth Night - the one with Parminder Nagra and Chiwetel Ejiofor

Four places I’ve liked
> Toronto - because it’s a clean, open city, and friendly (for a big city)
> Dublin - I used to love it many moons ago, when I was a party-girl
> Berlin - I visited before the Wall came down, and it was the most amazing experience - one half of the city new and shiny and modern, the other - well, repressed and retro about covers it!
> Durham - because it has the Cathedral. It’s a nice town, but it doesn’t need anything more than that Cathedral.

Four TV shows I love
We haven’t had a tv for quite a while, so all my choices will be very dated - but I used to like:
> Coupling - I got hooked from the very first episode
> Have I Got News For You - for its irreverence and unlikely guests
> Ballykissangel. I’ve lived in places like that! But it also earns its place on this list for its portrayal of Siobhan’s baby’s birth
> Dharma & Greg - but only the first season, it kinda lost me after that

Four places I’ve vacationed
> Toronto - and went back to live there.
> Berlin - see above
> Georgia, USA - those accents…drool
> Scotland - in a caravan with a decal of Mickey Mouse on the window in the door. I remember nothing else about that holiday, except for that Well… I was only about 6!

Four of my favorite dishes
> caesar salad (when it’s a really good one)
> roasted vegetables (the way I do them every Christmas)
> Panzerotti from Bitondo’s on Clinton Street in Toronto
> chocolate

Chocolate *is* a dish! It is so!

Four sites I visit daily
Hm. There are quite a few blogs that I visit when they’re updated, but mostly I just go through my feed-reader every day (or so). I visit BoohBah daily at the minute, but that’s for Jack LOL. Currently I’m visiting the Amazon site every day to see if they’ve shipped my food processor yet…

Four places I would rather be right now
> Somewhere hot and sunny
> In bed

I give up. I can’t think of four. Either that means I quite like where I am, or it means I’m too sick to think straight.

Four bloggers I am tagging
Only four? Now this is one where I could come up with a long list…

> Emily from The Voyage because it will be the first time she’s been tagged
> Mamadillo, The Reluctant Blogger because it will might just get her blogging
> Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - because June probably has some interesting history to divulge, and it will get it on the Early Years blogring
> The Purple Goddess in Frog Pyjamas to give it an international flavour
