Tagged!....
So, I have been 'tagged' by my friend, Dame C. This means I get to tell you all five things, that perhaps, you may not have known about me. I must add, I've had to take a little time to think of things, so sorry it's a little tardy.
Here we go, 5 Things You Maybe , Perhaps Didn't Know About Me...
1. I have a wierd 'penchant' for typeface. I'm entirely sure why, but I've always seen fonts as quite important, they seem to add to the meaning and appearance of a word. It doesn't just end at saying, say... "I like Myriad Pro (which incidentally, is the Apple font)", some words look better in some fonts than others. In fact, I may even go so far as to say some word only look right in a certain font. Not quite sure at the moment. When I do I'll let you know. I guess as a 'spin off' to this 'thing-you-maybe-perhaps-didn't-know-about-me', is that I also like the look of certain words, separate from their meaning, like 'Arc' or 'glib'. Anyway, that's number one.
2. I can't throw away London Travelcards. OK, this is maybe a little odd. I'm not sure why I collect all of them, but I have in the past deliberately kept some for use as bookmarks. In fact, most of my books either have a london travelcard somewhere in the middle or at the end! And also, when I was a kid and we went to London on a trip, I used to keep the card as a momento of my day. I suppose keeping them has just become habit!! So, below is a picture of the cards I had on my desk this morning. I don't know where the rest are. (other than those in books!)
3. Although I count myself as 'serious' music lover and apologist of the new and avant-garde, I still enjoy music by Billy Joel, Norah Jones, David Gray and Queen.
4. I don't like sleeping, which, if I'm honest, is a bit odd. I'm trying to work this one out, but I can't. Maybe it isn't so much that I don't like sleeping, but rather I don't like going to bed. I'd sooner fall asleep watching TV or listening to music whilst lounging on the sofa.
5. When I was around 7 or 8, I guess, I started violin lessons at school (I had already begun to study the piano before this). For the first year I really enjoyed it, although never put in too much practice, but in the second year we had a really horrible violin teacher, who, when it came down to 'appraisals' (what else can I call them?), mistook me for somebody else, ripped into me for being uncommitted and lazy, and..... made me cry. Only the next day did she tell me she'd made a mistake, but she never apologised. I quit the lessons, and to this day, the violin remains my least favourite instrument, even to the point of disliking most violin music.
Right... who to tag next? I'm tagging..

I don't believe it!!
Nearly a year ago, I started work on a work called 'Tube Music', inspired by the London Underground map. I still haven't finished it, but somebody has beat me to the music/tube thing. I saw this only the other day. Some guy from The Guardian made a London tube map with musicians as the stations.
I believe you may download it here...
and buy a print here.
I could talk for ages about it, but I think I'll suffice by saying my favourite and most appropriate entry must be Nick Drake as Wapping, in light of his songs 'River Man', 'Three Hours (to London)' and 'At the chime of a city clock'.

I don't think I've ever put so many links in one post!!
Have fun, Y'all!!!
