Joshua Swanson very kindly nominated me for my maiden Randomness Award. Joshua’s a relative newbie blogger but he’s garnered plenty of awards over the past few weeks so please check out his blog and give him some further support.

Looking at Joshua’s bio below, I rather suspect I’m old enough to be his grandmother and at first glance we don’t appear to have a lot in common. But then isn’t that the beauty of the blogosphere? You get to interact with tons of interesting folk whose path you might not normally cross.

Hi! My name is Joshua Swanson. I’m from Japan. I’m a Christian and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior! I like reading books, fishing, teaching English, nature, Scrabble®, Risk®, Battleship®, Othello, Checkers, Chess, funny things, Christian music, Classical music, Country music, Latin American music, practicing my guitar, treasure hunting, playing catch and frisbee, exercising, cats, dogs, bears, fish, and other animals, but NOT centipedes. Favorite book: The Holy Bible Other favorite books: The Bell Mountain Series by Lee Duigon; The Remnant Trilogy by Tim Chaffey and K. Marie Adams; The Crown & Covenant Trilogy and The Faith & Freedom Trilogy by Douglas Bond; etc. Favorite food(s): curry rice; taco rice; etc. Favorite place: home.

Now, I wasn’t sure why Joshua thought I was worthy of this award until I checked out the meaning of randomness:-

1. the quality or state of lacking a pattern or principle of organization; unpredictability.

2. informal oddness or eccentricity.

Excellent, I’ve long aspired to be regarded as eccentric!

      • I was looking in the window of a jeweller’s in one of London’s arcade and as I moved back, I trod on someone’s foot. It was Sir Paul! I was most apologetic, he was very understanding and we got chatting. Lovely chap, no side to him at all. Of course, I never let on that I knew who he was. I was with my late parents at the time and my mother asked if I knew who I’d been chatting to. Of couse! Scousers, never ever lose their accents.

      • Sweet boy, surprisingly shy. I met him and his uncle on a flight back from Dubai.

  8. The Shawshank Redemption was on TV last night. Sadly, it was edited quite obtrusively, so I stopped watching after a few minutes–but to make up for it, I replayed most of it in my head.
