Letter meme

dr_zook gave me the letter B. Drop me a comment to get a letter of your own!

Something I hate: Bad breath. I can only enjoy reading sleepy morning sex scenes if I pretend that both characters separately woke up to pee about an hour before and brushed their teeth while they were at it.

Something I love: Bookshops. Take me to the bookshop, I can be trusted at the bookshop, ignore the pile of unread books on my shelf that’s not important I need more books I need to go to the bookshop. My pre-baby career was in editing and publishing, but the year’s “break” I took to work as a bookseller was the only job I’ve ever truly enjoyed and the only one I can stand the thought of going back to.

Somewhere I have been: Um...Bowral, NSW. (I’m not particularly well travelled tbh lol.) I stayed with some friends in the converted stable of a magnificent Victorian manor, and we played croquet on the back lawn and took walks in the sprawling grounds and it was like something out of a novel.

Somewhere I would like to go: Berlin! But it is a very long and expensive flight from here. :(

Someone I know: My sister-in-law’s partner’s name starts with a ‘B’. He is something like twenty years older than her and has made her a grandma in her forties, which is a little unusual, but I honestly really like the guy. He’s very kind to my kids and has been a huge stabilising influence in SIL’s life. They’re both super into fitness and their life seems to mostly revolve around parkruns.

Best movie: Oh, easy. Backstroke of the West! How many other films can claim such a profound and lasting impact on our modern cultural landscape? :D
