Six Facts and a Fiction

I have been tagged by West Australian blogger Cellobella to reveal Six Facts and a Fiction about myself. It's supposed to be useful facts but I found that a bit hard. So here's the random facts version. It is up to you to decide which of the following points is in fact a fiction.

  1. My middle name is the same as the first name of one of the Princesses of England. But it's spelt differently.
  2. Two weeks ago I bought four current-season Quinces and successfully made Quince paste.
  3. I am a keen SCUBA diver.
  4. I studied French for eight years but can barely put together a sentence in that language.
  5. I have one undergraduate degree, one masters and two further post-graduate diplomas making me a superbly qualified housefrau.
  6. I've done a bungee-jump, and loved it.
  7. I'm terrified of heights, and hate flying.

So, what's your guess? Which is the porky-pie?

Too easy. I won't give it away!

Melinda said...

EASY! I'm going to say the SCUBA thing. I think you were trying to trick us with the last two. Sneaky, sneaky. I don't like being wrong so here's hoping I'm right.

Suse said...

I believe you HATE scuba diving.

I am going with the SCUBA thing too. It's a guess, though...

Mary said...

You've done a bungee jump but are scared of heights and flying?

Something fishy there I reckon!

Stomper Girl said...

Je crois que votre Français parlé est excellent.

I'm just saying that because I love using Babelfish.

I can't see how anyone with half a brain and all those degrees (I believe that) could want to go scuba-diving or bungee-jumping. So I can't pick.

Sharyn said...

I'm not sure either . . . but it's all pretty impressive I say. mmmm, maybe it's the quince paste (just trying to pick something different!) . . .

I made my decision before I saw anyones comments and thought it would be the diving. When are you going to let us know?

Clever girl on the quince paste.

Thanks for all your comments, it's been fun to read them!

Congratulations to Melinda, Suse, Alice, and ArmyWife. And I know Fairlie knows...

Mary: I know it doesn't make sense that I have bungee jumped but I do like to challenge my fears (I've also done a BridgeClimb eeek).

Stomper: nope, really hopeless at French. Can read it, can't say it.

Pretty essential: Made Quince paste! Can't believe it but I did it (all four hours of stirring).

Lesley: agree with you on the SCUBA. Firegazer and I are going on a week long trip to FNorth Queensland where he will SCUBA and I will shop/read/knit/spa.

Damn! I'm too late to guess (would have been wrong any way), but I think I'll play. I'll do a post like this in the next few days.
