A dear photographer friend of mine Kati “tagged” me to share 7 random things. I’ve shared some random stuff on here before (in addition to the stuff under “Details“), but I always have a good chuckle when I think of other random stuff! So, without further ado……

 1 My favourite TV programmes are Friends, Sex and the City and Ugly Betty – and I have a small obsession with wanting to visit New York going on!!!

2. I have had the most random selection of jobs, ever! Aside from a 12 year corporate career and the usual bar, waitressing and shop girl jobs I’ve worked as a ski instructor (I qualified aged 16 and until I started photography that was my favourite job to date). I’ve sold double glazing – over the phone – hmmm… don’t hate me! I’ve led tours on dolphin watching boats. I’ve worked on a landfill. I’ve been a childrens party entertainer (yes, that does mean clown). I’ve been a beer girl at the rugby 7’s in Hong Kong! And I’ve been a bra model (probably my best ever paid job – and for companies including Victoria’s Secret, no less!)

 3. I was once on a Hong Kong TV programme as part of the orchestra (playing the violin) supporting a cantopop star performance (I don’t even remember who!) – the music was pre recorded and when they filmed we just had to mime – most bizarre!

 4. it stuns me every day just how much I love hanging out with my children – I want to hang onto every single moment and bottle it up (which reminds me, we really should invest in a video camera – recommendations please!!)

 5. I ♥ travel programmes and am ALWAYS planning the next trip, or 2 or 3 in my head and being inspired by what an amazing place the planet we live on is.

 6. I beat myself up about the fact I drive a 4 wheel drive car and yet I consider myself passionate environmentalist – I accept it as a fact of life here that keeping my kids safe comes first – that said, I’m a crazy recycler, waste minimiser, local buyer, switch turneroffer, and with a long background as an environmental consultant I try as hard as I can to incorporate little environmental initiatives into my work wherever I can.

 7. I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have met a wonderful man, who is my soul mate, my No. 1 supporter and the most amazing father to my children I could imagine – he has given me the best of times, and held my hand through the worst

 So now I’m passing this along to some more bloggers – and I’m going to spread the love globally here!!!
