About me

Gender Female
Location Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction English lit graduate trying to re-ignite her love of writing via this blog.

My days are spent working in Aberdeen's Oil and Gas industry while my nights are spent making ill-advised attempts to become a domestic goddess in the home that I share with my lovely-but-long-suffering Other Half.

After 5 days earning a crust (or burning one in the oven) weekends are for making unnecessary fashion and beauty purchases or devouring a bottle of pinot with the usual suspects.

Leopard print, red lipstick and cups of tea are my kyptonite.
Interests Writing, reading, fashion, beauty, the cult of social media, and all that geeky stuff in between
Favorite Movies I love movies - I love the cinema experience and the art of making movies. I get so mad if there are no extras on a DVD! Genre-wise I like most things. Je deteste Dirty Dancing however. Patrick Swayze's snake hips do NOT appeal and I don't have any affinity with Watermelon, thanks.
Favorite Music I have a very ecletic music collection with a soft spot of movie soundtracks and I'm partial to rock and indie bands with strong female frontwomen.
Favorite Books Stephen King's The Stand, The Time Traveller's Wife, The C Word, Left Behind, Room, Gone Girl, Diary of a London Call Girl, Her Fearful Symmetry, 1984, Poor Things, The Annotated Alice, Before I Sleep, His Dark Materials Trilogy, The Sookie Stackhouse novels, Around The World in 80 Dates...chick lit is to be avoided but anything remotely dystopian will do. And Cosmopolitan - for when I'm feeling shallow.

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Dear Aunt, Thank you for your kind gift of a Rooster-shaped Maple Syrup dispenser. Being vertically challenged, in the past I have found reaching on tippy toes into the condiments cupboard to find my beloved maple syprup a chore. Now I can relax safe in the knowledge my syprup is on proud display and firmly within reach as an ornamental Rooster.
