Thank You!

A huge thanks to Melanie for giving me this award. I'm beginning to feel like I need a trophy case! Thank you everyone who has been kind enough to give me awards.

This one comes with a few rules.

1. Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
2. Share seven random facts about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 5 new-found blogging buddies.
4. Contact the winners to congratulate them.

So here are 7 random things you may not have known about me.

1. I don't have a middle name. My parents thought Katharine Larkindale was long enough without one.

2. I grew up a diplo-brat, so I've lived in Vienna, Washington DC, Beijing, Apia, Wellington, London and Melbourne.

3. My favorite city in the world is Berlin, closely followed by NYC.

4. I worked as a chef for 6 years while I paid my way through university.

5. My first real job was as a tea-lady at a lawn bowling club.

6. My favorite word to say is 'socks'. My least favorite is 'spongy'.

7. My three favorite foods all start with 'a' - avocado, asparagus & artichokes.

There! And the five people I'll be passing this on to? Well....

1. Kalen O'Donnell

2. Christine Murray
