I've been tagged by my friend Sharon of Manamoon. On a side note, Sharon's beautiful jewelery is going to be appearing in the Tori Spelling show soon - I just wanted to point out there that I know a famous person!!
The tag is based around the number 8. Eight is seen as very lucky in Chinese culture as it sounds similar to the word for "wealth", and it is the only Fibonacci number that is a perfect cube (see, you've learned something!)
Here are my answers -
8 Things I'm looking forward to:
1. The Manchester University end of year art degree shows

4. My son finishing school/exams this week - lots of summer lie-ins!

Wow, ok first off I DID learn something about the number 8 and aren't you just a wealth of information!? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading all your answers too! I didn't realize we both had sons graduating this year and how lovely to bake biscuits! I wouldn't have guessed that you would like Donnie Darko (excellent movie) and I hear they're coming out with a new one. whoot!
Now to be patient and wait for that newest commissioned painting to make an appearance... can't wait!
Hi Sharon!
ReplyDeleteYes I loved Donnie Darko - I'm very excited about the sequel!
And I'll post my new painting here once it's done so you can have a peek!
