"30 Days of Me" blog challenge: Day 01 - 15 interesting facts about yourself
1. My name really is Bob. Well actually it’s Robert, but my parents called me Bobby all my life – that had to be shortened when I went to Uni. Way too cutesy
2. I am a pharmacist and it’s frustrating no-one really knows what pharmacists do. No I don’t count pills. No we’re not chemists. I can however describe all the ingredients of medicines, why they’re there, and what happens in your body from the moment you take it.
3. I am married and have 3 kids – 5, 3.5 and 1 years old.
4. I’m quite flexible – my party trick is putting my foot behind my head.
5. I love the sea and the surf and hate being away from water.
6. I had a pierced tongue for 8 years – until everyone started getting them (including my Aunty).
7. I’m unnaturally drawn to pictures of houses, plans of houses and house designs. I love Grand Designs, Urbis and Unhappy Hipsters.
8. I’m a nationally-recognised expert in a pharmaceutical-related thing
9. I travelled around Europe in a campervan I bought in Belfast. It was called Ngaire.
10. I proposed on the top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps at sunrise. She laughed at first.
11. My first born had open heart surgery aged 4months – I literally saw her heart in her chest post-op. Freaky.
12. I don’t believe in horoscopes yet wonder why I nearly exactly match my so-called Cancer “personality”.
13. I was quite good at arts and sciences at school and hated being limited in what I could study – because of what would lead to a career. I wish my job was more creative.
14. My favourite time of the day is the few minutes after turning out the light in bed. All is calm and quiet and I slowly drift off to sleep.
15. I saw ET at the movies and cried. I cry even more in movies since having children – I’m a big sook.
Woops - I forgot that I was supposed to post a recent photo of me with this. I like this one coz I look swish.
