Who am I?

I'm the one without the fur!

So, you want to know who I am? Well, you’ll get a pretty good idea from reading my blog. But, in brief:

A Brit living in Sweden since 1996. Came here as a so-called love immigrant.

Have got two small kids and good supply of ear plugs.

Husband is like a third child and the dog is like the fourth.

Blessed with an ironic sense of humour.

Scriptwriter, textbook writer and translator (Swedish into English).

THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME:

I used to peel bananas with my feet. (In recent years, you’ll be relieved to hear, my toes have become less agile so I have had to give up this party trick.)

I’ve got eyes at the back of my neck.

I lose my keys several times a day.

Learnt to speak Chinese, but have now forgotten it all. Swedish is my second language (after English) these days.

Collector of exotic diseases: dengue fever, amoebic dysentery, giardia, and many, many generations of worms – not once, but twice in as many years!
