Letter meme: S

[nanila]

liv gave me an S.

Something I hate: Starting things. No really. Flippin’ heck, beginnings are scary, not least because success is never guaranteed. Starting things is the reason procrastination is so attractive.
Something I love: Shoyu. Some people call it soy sauce. Either way it is delicious and there are not many savoury foods I don’t find improved by its addition.
Somewhere I’ve been: St Kilda, World Heritage Site and essential breeding ground for North Atlantic seabirds, three hours by speedboat off the coast of Scotland. We went when I was 5.5 months pregnant with Humuhumu. This is still one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever been on. Read about it here: DW/LJ.
Somewhere I’d like to go: Singapore. Sydney. Southern Hemisphere in general. The furthest south I’ve ever been is Mombasa in Kenya.
Someone I know: Siobhan. We have been friends for many moons, and although we are separated by an ocean and a continent, I still feel close to her.
A film I like: Salt. Female action hero ftw.

Please leave a comment if you would like a letter from me!

(Oh, PS, yesterday I sent out the last batch of dragon postcards. At last. \o/ If you don't receive yours in a week or so, please let me know.)

St Kilda

Wow, awesome pictures, envy you the experience.

[nanila]

Thank you! Much as I want to, I'm almost afraid to try to go back now, as we were so lucky to be able to go in the very short time window we had to make the trip, to be allowed on the boat when I was pregnant, and to have such fantastic weather for viewing the settlement and the bird colonies.

You should go to the other St. Kilda, which is in Melbourne.

[nanila]

I love this idea. \o/

Oh, I really like this meme, it's surprisingly interesting considering it's just making lists of stuff beginning with a letter. And I'm especially pleased you put up the link to your St Kilda post, that was absolutely amazing to read.

[nanila]

I think memes can be quite revealing, when respondees put more than a passing effort into their answers.

Thanks for reading the St Kilda post. I was transported back when I re-read it. I'm so glad I wrote it all down!

Dragon postcard arrived today. It is so beautiful!

Please do DM me your address if you'd like me to return the postcard favour :-)

[nanila]

Yay, I'm glad it made it! OK, I will gladly do that. :)

Starting things is indeed fraught.

May I have a letter?

[nanila]

Please do have a letter! I offer you "P".

Hee! :)

I wish you could get to Sydney (or Canberra). :-)

We will come to Australia someday! We're hoping to make the trek in the next 2-3 years, when both the little ones still aren't in school but will also be able to remember it.
