Hi Everyone! I was thinking that we don't really know much about each other (well most of us) so thought since I am bored and injured on this chilly Sunday morning I would create a little quiz that we can copy and paste and fill in the answers for ourselves 
1. Where were you born?
2. Where do you live at the moment?
3. Where else have you lived?
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
That's all, trying to keep it short and sweet for now. :flowerforyou:

1. Where were you born?
Mudgee, Australia
2. Where do you live at the moment?
London, UK
3. Where else have you lived?
Mudgee, Newcastle, Alice Springs in Australia and Borders, Birmingham (but both only during the week for work) and London in the UK.
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
Registered dietitian - currently working in cardiothoracics/intensive care/stroke. I would love to have an active and motivational job e.g. gym or ski instructor - I would probably get bored of it quickly but it's a grass is always greener situation I think!
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
* I got married in 2011 in Australia
* I love to travel - trying to fit as much in as I can while I don't really have many commitments
* I want to have a family but I'm scared of becoming one of those obsessive people that I see on my facebook that can never be happy for anything anyone else is doing unless they are having a baby! Maybe next year...
* I'm an absolute foodie - love cooking and trying new things, if I travel somewhere that doesn't have great food then I never enjoy the trip as much
* I have a really bad attention span - can't even watch a whole movie unless I am at the cinema without having to do something with my hands or take a break0 -

2. We keep Chickens and Quail.
3. I like Snowboarding but wish I could go more.
4. I have 2 little boys aged 2 and 3.

3. Where else have you lived? - All over the place! In my entire life, the longest I've ever lived anywhere is this house....I've been here since September 2006. I'm getting itchy feet again!
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? - Currently I am a freelance editor but after working for myself for most of my life, I now find I want something more stable, so have been applying for jobs. Lots of jobs. Dream occupation? Astronaut - the only thing (apart from Thor or Maria Callas) I ever really wanted to be as a child, and it still holds true now.
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself:
i. I am half-Venetian, and have always been more Italian than British; have always felt pretty alien in the UK despite having lived here for most of my life.
ii. Chuck Berry has a 20ft high poster of me.
iii. I have hyperosmia (super-acute sense of smell), and really keen hearing. I am being interviewed about this by a professor in Columbia, USA. This week actually!
iv. True to my birthsign, water really is my element. When I was a child, my grandfather used to tell me I was a half-mermaid, and that was why I was always in the water. He told me I would never be able to drown because of it! As an adult (and I use this term in its loosest sense), I still love to be in water, whether it's the sea, the pool, the bath. When I went scuba diving in the Aegean a few years back, I started to believe that my grandfather might have been onto something because despite having the heaviest weights in my belt, and absolutely no air in my buoyancy jacket, I simply could not sink! Eventually my instructor had to pull me down with him! I also fell asleep once while floating on my back in a hotel pool!
v. I take photos of everything! I really don't have any photographic talent (except perhaps for taking pics of flowers) but it doesn't matter. The photographs I take today are my insurance for my old age: when I am all shrivelled and wrinkly, and my memory fails me, I will look at my photographs and know that I had a good life... a wonderful life, and that it was a life well-lived.
vi. I regularly have conversations with Leondardo da Vinci in my head...always have done, since childhood. He's my best friend!
OK, that was six things! :laugh:0 -

5. a) I love dancing. Used to compete in ballroom & latin (currently not dancing but i miss it and hope to start again this year)
b) I like running in the forest but since it's got dark early i don't run because im scared to run in the dark alone - sad but true. I still run at weekends when i can - in the daylight! Come March i'll have my running shoes back on!
