34. Performed in YouMeBumBumTrain

For those of you that don't know about this show, it is basically an unusual theatre show where lots of volunteers make up the experience you have.

I wanted to volunteer because I know various people that have done it before and have said how much fun it is.

It was really cool because I got involved in a different scene each day and got to meet lots of cool volunteers from all types of backgrounds.

If you are interested, it has three shows left and you can sign up here:  https://wellinformed.wufoo.com/forms/r7p1k7/

If your not sure, just do it, you won't regret it : )

33. Tried black pudding

Being of Scottish descendent, I have tried over the years to come accustomed to traditional scottish food and drinks (because I had always wished I was born in Scotland and love that it's part of my family's history).  Two of my favourite in the past have been Irn Bru and Flat Scottish sausage, mmmmmm!

Swede is never going to be my friend and Veal also does not seem right for me.  However, Haggis grew on mine, it just took a bit of growing up and a change in my taste buds : p

The one thing that for years I have been uncomfortable with trying is black pudding (made of blood : s).  I have been offered it before and have either said no or have just left it sitting on the plate.  But today, for some reason, I decided to try it with my big breakfast.

I have to say it is like a strong sausage (it looks like one and is meaty) and not at all tasting of blood in the way I thought it would.  I am not sure I would have it all the time, but it was nice to have something different on the plate and an option for the future.


I feel as time goes on I am becoming more scottish in my blood - yay, my plan is working : )
