Idiosyncrasies
First: As one who adores to rest her eye on a garden vista, I think it’s a very great shame how much I despise the actual act of gardening. It seems to comprise of 95 per cent weeding; I find the whole enterprise uncomfortable, infuriating and only occasionally rewarding. So my whole fraught relationship with ‘outside’ largely entails sporadic bursts of activity, largely confined to weeding and tidying up, while the garden continues its relentless decline into neglect.
Having been tagged by Anoushka, Ali and Mary, I can’t very well go any longer without answering. I tried in vain to think of five idiosyncracies, but honestly, couldn’t. This is all I’ve got:
1. I must sleep with my feet outside the bedclothes else I feel claustrophobic. Otherwise my feet feel claustrophobic. If it is extremely cold, I can wear socks, but never put the feet inside the bedclothes.
2. I gesture more when talking on the telephone than I do in person.
3. I have an annoying tendency to finish other people’s sentences for them. And to be a bit bossy.
Really, I can’t think of a single one more. How very well-balanced I must be.
If you haven’t done this and would like to, say Anna tagged you.

Oh, bossy - me, too! ;)

Claustrophobic feet- me, too! Socks are perfect, but I cannot rest with my feet under covers. I truly thought it was only me!
I may tag myself in honor of you, as per your note, in solidarity.

I missed these initially, as I was concentrating too hard on the wonderful Claude!
I do the telephone thing too. I think it's a fear that I may not convey my message adequately, when not there in person!
