Three things about me

  • My dad was really good with wood. He made the most wonderful wooden fort. At school in woodworking I tried to make an owl. Spent 2 months on the little beauty. When I finished everyone thought it was a troll.
  • I’ve got poor coordination but for some reason I have always been able to run backwards effortlessly. When I used to play football and rugby it would freak the pants of opposition players when instead of turning for a ball behind me, I would just run backwards.
  • As a kid I couldn’t ride a bike. Eventually I found a way. I have to grip the handle bar super tight with my left hand. That left hand has to at all times to stay clamped as tightly as possible or I fall off. Also I can’t ware a cycling glove on the left hand (if I do I again I fall off immediately). The right hand can do whatever it wants. I now love cycling but have to still do the left hand routine. Our son also struggles to ride a bike.

Kristian’s Questions

Name something you like to see in a book, that makes you want to read further.

I love stories where the hero fails and has to persevere.

What would make you want to stop reading a book?

Either the last page or clearly a beloved animal is about to die. Any reference to Jeffrey Archer or U2 would immediately require the burning of the book.

If they produced the story of your life, what genre would it be?

Horror, or How not to Dummies Guides

If you could have a plane ticket to anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Lukla. Nearest airport to Everest Base Camp.

What advice would you like to give to your ten-year-old self?

Ditch the brown cardigan son, it’s not a good look for a kid.

Nominations

I would love to open this up to anyone who has never had a nomination. You guys are oh so more deserving than me.

Be safe and happy out there good people

  2. Great answers. I’ve never read any JA but I can’t say I would be likely to reference either Him or U2 in anything I’d write. 🙂 I can sympathise with the Brown Cardigan. There are a few pictures of me in brown dungarees that I would love to burn. 🙂

  8. As a ten-year-old, I wore the UGLIEST stuff in the world. So I would tell my MOM AND DAD DRESS YOUR, DAMN KIDS, DECENTLY.
    We all looked awful. All four of us. So when we each got jobs, off went the thrift store and bargain shop crap and we started buying decent looking clothes.

      3. Oh pish. You’ve loads of of amazing qualities you’re passing on to your son. It’s just hard for you to see them. It’s like when people tell me my kids look like me–I never believed them until just this last month when I realized a picture of Bash smiling looked like me. I’ve never, ever seen resemblances like that–just ties between Bo and the kids, never me.
