10 Things You Might Not Know About Me
Sandra Jasionowska and Linda Ng kindly tagged me in their recent articles listing ten things people might not know about them. (Here are links to Sandra’s and Linda’s articles.)
After struggling to get started, I ended up with 12 items which I trimmed down to ten. Hopefully, I made the right choices…
1. I met my late wife on a blind date
I answered a lonely hearts advert in my local paper. We got along so well that she turned down everyone else who answered her ad.
Neither of us had ever done anything like that before. From then on, we were hardly ever apart for 21 years.

2. Superman was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema
The year was 1978, and the ten-year-old me was experiencing the cinema for the first time.
I didn’t go to another cinema again until 1992, for one of the early dates with my wife.
I’m sure we’d planned to watch something fairly gentle and romantic.
But we ended up watching Universal Soldier instead because our chosen film was fully booked.
