I have been tagged by George Szirtes and am supposed to write six random things about myself. So here they are:
1. I have never seen an episode of the Simpsons
2. My father knew Houdini
3. I always thought I would grow out of being untidy, but I haven't. I don't understand the principle of putting things away. If I can't see them, they might as well not be there.
4. The oldest item currently in my wardrobe is a sweater dating from 1978. One day I will be thin enough to wear it again. One day.
5. I am a Canadian citizen (as well as a British citizen)
6. I will not, under any circumstances, eat a fried or poached egg. I might eat a cold boiled egg in a Salad Noicoise, or an omelette but only as long as the filling overwhelms the taste of the egg, and there is no runiness.
I will now tag Deja Pseu, Phyllis at The Sewing Divas, Lisa Goldman Miss Cavendish Charles Lambert Baroque in Hackney

Thanks for the tag. I shall ponder randomly and post soon!
I'm of an opposite mind on the egg yolks though: poached, over-easy, or soft boiled for me. Hard cooked egg yolks make me gag.
Houdini - that is so cool!
Hi Linda,
I enjoyed completing the meme; thanks very much for the tag! Were you born in Canada?
No.
Linda - I think for Jews of a certain generation, having contacts like your father's was not necessarily unusual. My father's mother's cousin was Harvey Lembeck(of Stalag 17 fame) and he lived next door to Paddy Chayefsky and went to school with his brother.
Tagged again! I think I've done this one before but, hey, that's what random is all about. You might be surprised, or not, to know that I am just in the process of tagging you, Linda. It's slightly more literary than this one, but utterly painless, so I hope you don't mind.
