Married with grown up children and lots of grandchildren, the latest of which I actually got to deliver as she was in a bit of a hurry to get here. I like doing things for my community and am a member of my local Lions club. I am a registered nurse, but am now basically retired due to physical inability to continue in this profession. I love food, (as anyone who has seen my photo will already know) and love to try new recipes; although once I've cooked a dish once or twice I usually then just go ad hoc and change it to suite what I have in the house. I'd like more vegetarian recipes as I don't have much idea about vegetarian cooking.
I'm not a bit tea drinker, although it's growing on me. I'm more of a coffee girl, though I'm being very moderate now as we all know we shouldn't have too much caffeine.
I like most types of chocolate, though white chocolate is my least favourite. I like mints, cinnamon flavour and soft or hard centres. I do not like cherry or orange anything. I like gummies or hard sweets (candy).
My favourite colours are green (especially emerald) and deep purple. I also like blue and yellow. I do NOT like pink or orange, and I prefer deep colours to pastels.
I'm not a fan of acrylics, but will tolerate them if they are soft and not scratchy. I'm not a fan of Mohair or other fluffy yarns as they make me sneeze. I have discovered the lovely softness that is Malabrigo, and I adore silk. I also love Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb and Handmaiden Lady Godiva, the former is very expensive here in Australia, and the latter is a little cheaper.....but I bought the Lion and Lamb for my clapotis and am very glad I did.
Pretty eclectic tastes, anything from Classical to pop. Some hip hop is ok, but not really into heavy metal or grunge. Currently I like Mika, The Fray, Nick Cave, John Farnham and Belinda Emmett: both Australian artists, though Belinda's debut album will also be her last as very sadly, she died of cancer before it was released.
Old; Brigadoon. Recent; The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
US; Greys Anatomy,House and Heroes. Aussie; All Saints, Dancing with the Stars and Big Brother.
Knitting, (socks, scarves, lace, dishcloths and occasionally a sweater or two), Cross Stitch and Scrap Booking. Not a craft, but I love reading, just about anything except soppy romances.

Hi Sue! You've got 2 swaps over on swap-bot that you've not sent out and I'm getting really worried. This is totally not like you. I hope everything is ok and that you've just been busy and forgotten and will mail these right away. If not, please let me know what's up so I can let your pals know. Thanks! Kerry
Can you please tell me when you'll be mailing your package for the pal's choice junkies swap? The mail deadline was Monday and you're still marked as not sent. I emailed everyone and have had no response from you.
Also, it shows you've not mailed your white package either and the deadline for that was over a month ago. I hope all is well and these were just overlooked but if you have run into a problem please let me know.
I do beleive it's over. I am really going to miss the show. What will I watch on Tuesday....I guess I will just have to knit instead.
