Birthday & Blog Award!

It's my birthday today, and yay, I've got the best blogging present, a blog award!!! Thank you so much, Ladawan from Lolavie, for presenting me with 'The Versatile Blogger' award, I really appreciate it. What goes with the award is that I have to share

Seven Random Facts About Me

So here they come:

1. I'm head-over-heels totally truly madly deeply in love with Great Britain. Everything about it. Some people feel they have been born in the wrong body (male/female) and I'm absolutely certain I was born in the 'wrong' country. I'm British, I can feel it!
2. Perhaps this should be mentioned under number one but I'll list it separately: I also love the British Royal Family. It was Princess Diana I first fell in love with as a little girl and I started learning and loving the English language because of her. Naturally, I'm all excited about the Royal Wedding this year!
3. I met my husband when I was sixteen. We've been together ever since, married for fifteen years. He's the man of my dreams, his only 'fault' is that he's not British...
4. I love languages. I have been learning foreign languages ever since I was little. I got particularly 'language-obsessed' in secondary school; there was a time when I learnt six foreign languages at a time. Alas, I'm only fluent in two, English (my 'mother tongue' anyway...) and German.
5. I used to play the piano. I can still play simple tunes but I have a plan to freshen up my skills at one point in my life. And I would love to learn how to play the saxophone. I love the instrument, I think it's really sexy...
6. I also love singing. I sing in the local church choir and another one outside the church.
7. My hands and feet are always cold. Freezing, in fact. I work at my computer for several hours a day and wear woollen handwarmers most of the time. Not to mention the woollen socks and fleece blankets wrapped around my legs & feet...
