Spitting Yarn

Jump to Comments

Indieknits invited me (and you guys) to tag ourselves with this meme, so I have:

1. Four jobs you have had in your life:

Waitress for event caterers
Serving food to drunk medical students, great(!)

Hair washer/sweeper upper/tea maker for a hairdressers
You’d be amazed at the politics of hairdressing.

Secretary for a small plasma nitriding firm
Interesting, eh?

Lawyer
Hmmm. No comment.

2. Four books you would read over and over*

Dr Fischer of Geneva, or The Bomb Party, Graham Greene
The Secret History, Donna Tartt
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer
The End of the Affair, Graham Greene

* This is meant to be “Four films”, but films are ephemeral for me, and I also feel like I haven’t seen all the good ones yet! So I changed it to books.

3. Four places you have lived

Surrey
Stockton-on-Tees
Hampshire
London

4. Four TV shows you love to watch

Spaced (Great show. I think Purlpower would agree)
Scrubs
University Challenge (currently averaging about 3 questions right per show!)
Battlestar Galactica*

* New entry!

5. Four places you have been on vacation

Thailand
Naples
Antigua
Israel

6. Four websites I visit daily

My Fashionable Life
Yarnstorm
Guardian
Theatre & Writing

7. Four of my favourite foods

Roast pork belly
Gratin dauphinois
Peas
Crème caramel

8. Four places I would rather be right now

The answer to this one can broadly be summed up as “‘anywhere other than in the office, preferably in bed”!

9. Four bloggers I am tagging

I don’t want to add to your troubles, so I won’t expressly tag anyone. But if you enjoy making lists, consider yourself tagged!
