Kate

Mysterious is my middle name!

About Me

Born in 1965 and lived in Surrey, all my life. Trained as a lab tech in 1984, and worked up to Manager in 2005, just as the lab became insolvent and we were all made redundant! (Arrgghh!) Took over a year to get my present job which is ATO in a hospital pharmacy. (Yes, lads, I have to wear a uniform!)

My Interests

Writing thrillers, fossil hunting, appreciating this wonderful planet, photography, cinema, theatre. Neolithic stone circles. A nice bottle of English cider. I love a good thunderstorm, and walking in the rain!

I'd like to meet:

Have met most of my favourite actors, but it would be nice to have a chat with Pete Postlethwaite, Alan Dobie, and Ken Colley... AND also to be marooned on a desert island with David Attenborough. (and the above!) LOL!

Music:

Film soundtracks, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield, John Barry. The Last Night of the Proms!

Movies:

The Ipcress File, Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Brighton Rock, Ealing comedies, British films, The Italian Job, Sleuth, Some Like it Hot - too many to choose from!

Television:

Anything that David Attenborough does! Doctor Who, Cribb, Sherlock Holmes, a decent thriller - anything with my favourite actors in!

Books:

Flora and fauna identification guides (I know! I know!), books on England, especially Dartmoor. For fun I read Clive Cussler, as Dirk Pitt is a 'real' man! Other than that I prefer to write my own, as they have everything I could ever want in them! (GRIN)

Heroes:

Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson. Now HE was a REAL hero! I can't describe how it feels to stand next to his tomb in St Paul's Cathedral... its really something. Go and see it!

My Blog

Story writing and Godot!

Sorry I have been away for what seems like a long time, but here's what I have been up to... I am a hospital pharmacy technician now, so am rushed off my feet every day.  In the evenings I crash ...

My kinda day

 Well it was wet and windy so I stayed in and did quite a bit of writing.  I have had three interviews this week and applied for another three, so I think I deserved a rest! Wrote a nice exc...

Am I wasting my time?

Looking for a job is hell.  I spend a few hours every day trawling through the papers/websites/library/ agencies (delete where applicable) but all to no avail.  Sent off tons of application ...
