I'm so shocked by number 25 ! (joke.)
And number 18...you are lucky! I have too many to mention.
I can identify with #6, mine started saying goodbye at about 25.
I know a book that might help with #25...
I am the same as you with #11, although the opposite way round.
Very interesting 25. Now, come sit on my couch and tell me more. Look into my eyes Ms Annieye and repeat after me "I'm a writer" ;-) TFx
These are all fascinating. What a good insight into your life.
So many things we didn't know.
I wish No 11 was the same for me and I find myself doing No17 too. Why?:-)
And No25? YOU ARE!
Really interesting :o) I wish my eyesight would improve with age!! And that I only had 8 grey hairs...
I am new to reading your blog and it is very interesting. I too wish to be a writer! And the same goes for numbers 1, 22 and 25! :)
