I've been "tagged"

Mrs Nesbitt has sent me instructions to write 6 weird things about me, so here they are:

1. I used to have perfect pitch (note the rather sad case of that being in the past, though if I were to start playing music again, maybe it would return? I will find out once our house is finished, and my piano comes to live with us).

2. I am not really left handed. Or right handed. I have a theory that I am neither, which would probably explain why I can't catch ;-) However, not only am I ambidextrous, I am also apparently "cross-lateral", which means that where usually your right hand side would be controlled by the left side of your brain (and vice-versa), mine is the other way round. That has yet to be confirmed medically, e.g. by brain scan ;-p

3. I am evidently a weird shape, so it is very rare that I find trousers & bras that fit. I hated shopping to start with, this is not something I need! As a result, I mostly wear combats and men's t-shirts. This has the side effect of not many people knowing what shape I am...

4. Despite not actually wearing makeup (except for when others make me, such as my wedding day), I am quite particular about having nice looked-after nails. This is probably the girliest thing about me!

5. I love living in a building site. It is so nice to have areas of your house you are allowed to be destructive to, if you are in such a mood, or areas you can be creative with. This feeling is unfortunately not shared by my OH, so this is now a guilty pleasure :-(

6. I used to work out the square roots of numbers whilst washing my hair. To be fair to me, it did take me about 3/4 hour until I had it chopped off short, figured out how to manage it like that, then learned to cope with it better as it grew back. Oh, I probably should have put that my hair is about 3'6", apparently that is quite weird.

Well, that was surprisingly difficult really.

Hmm, don't really know of any blogs that have not just had this already, so my tags are indefinitely pending...

Incidentally, this is my favourite photo of me from our wedding: (my hair grew quite a bit since then)
