Your First Time

IN PUBLIC, WHILE AT WORK (eek!) it gave all the other shopkeepers at the Fremantle Markets a great big giggle as I tried VERY VERY hard to use childrens hoops I got for my shop. Luckily the lovely Lucinda came along and showed me the error of my ways (and kindly supplied me with her astounding range of gorgeous giant hoops) I still make a complete fool of myself hooping at the markets but now everybody else is joining in the fun with me. YAY! :)

Interests

I am an aspiring marathon napper and in gruelling training for the endurance record for eating chocolate and watching movies while in a bubblebath. I am also working tirelessly to enter the triathalon of hammocks, comic books and cocktails.

Movies

Kermit’s Swamp Years, Harvey Crumpet, Max & Mary, anything with Muppets, anything with Elvis :)
