1. Once I'd realised where I want to live, everything else was subordinate to that (job, relationship etc had to be built in after I'd moved to here). I'm daily astonished that it's all worked out so well, given that constraint.
2. I have O level Japanese but have forgotten it all except "Watashi-wa nihongo-o hanasimasen" ("I can't speak Japanese").
3. Until Mr Limey moved in with me when I was 44 I had never co-habited with anyone.
4. I nagged my mother to give up smoking, and once she did, I started!
5. I ghost wrote a coffee-table book on dogs for my mother when she overcommitted herself one time.
6. I really, really like the idea of wearing a "signature perfume" but can never remember to put the darn stuff on.
