Is there a secret ANT nerd behind this hotel?

Took me long enough!

I attended an event yesterday about creative bureaucracy and I posed the question to senior public servants on the panel: Creativity is perceived as something only middle/upper class have the luxury of doing. How do you give licence for all your staff or colleagues to be creative in their roles?

9) If I'm feeling sad or anxious, bookshops are a calming influence. Books are healing.

8) I have two workplaces. One has a decent coffee machine and the other has a very, very good ice cream shop across the road. They are sadly very far apart from one another so I cannot combine the two.

7) I send postcards to random strangers. I take part in a project called Postcrossing and I was interviewed by The Guardian about it.

6) I sing soprano in two choirs. No, I'm not a soloist. I don't aspire to be one either. But I love the challenge of the music and the satisfaction of working together to make a good sound.

5) Having grown up in Western Australia, I am legally required to like and enjoy spearmint flavoured milk. This is not a hardship.

4) Jeg taler rigtig godt nok dansk. Jeg boede i Danmark mellem 2020 og 2023... helt pandemien tiden! Jeg er flydlene i trashdansk, fx. dansk du taler når du er i pubben. (I speak pretty good Danish, I lived in Denmark between 2020-2023 total pandemic time! I'm fluent in trashdansk, eg. pub Danish)

3) I've given up watching TV for Lent which explains why you're currently getting these inane facts.

2) I'm learning the piano and it's slow going... my hands are weaaaaaaak.

I haven't posted anything yet! Quick! I'll do 9 fun facts in honour of my 9 followers/bots who followed me sight unseen.
1) I'm currently listening to a Father John Misty song.
