My 'Very Inspiring Blogger Award!'

A fabulous friend of mine (name drop!) Author M.C. O'Neill has very kindly awarded me the 

Very Inspiring Blogger Award! It's very flattering and a big thank you to Mark!

You can find his blog at http://royalmanaball.wordpress.com/

In keeping with the rules, I must adhere to the following....

1. Display the award logo on your blog.
2. State SEVEN facts about yourself.
3. Link back to the person who had already nominated you.
4. Nominate FIFTEEN other bloggers who deserve this award.
5. Notify each of the bloggers of your nomination.

So here goes.

1. already done!
2. Seven 'jack of all trades' facts about me... 

• Between the ages of 10 & 12, I grew 1 foot taller! I've only grown 1 inch taller since then! (5'10")
• I drowned when I was 2 years old.
• I was at Ayres Rock a month before Azaria Chamberlain was taken by a dingo.
• I joined the army reserve when I was 19. I got to play with cool things that go bang. In the end, it wasn't for me though.
• Many, many years ago I was offered a place in the Sydney Philharmonia Choir.
• I was scouted to model at 14 by a leading cosmetics brand. The contract was turned down so I could finish school....I still have moments of what if?
• I enjoy 'discovering' and learning about anything that catches my interest, which usually means I'm juggling and tired!

 Um..(wake up?!) ...where were we? Oh, right...3...already done!
