About Me

After living in London, England, my home away from home. I am now back in San Diego with my better half, my husband Craig. Moving back to England eventually in the distant future.Personally I like music, turgid German music, and finding new things that can potentially be labeled "extreme" (or possiby "exxtreme"). I would rather walk than drive, I'm not photogenic and I look like I'm about to be hit in this one. I'm particular about my soup, cheese, JAM & laundry tasks.And I HATE rubber balloons!!
