7 random facts:

Since I have already written 7 random facts when I received the One Lovely Blog Award here are 7 new ones, here goes:

1. I am scared of small spiders but have no problem with tarantulas.

2. I love reading books, especially sci-fi, fantasy and crime

3. My favorite food is chocolate (yes, in EVERYTHING, especially desserts and treats but I am thinking up ways of adding it to main courses too as cacao is a superfood – it is true!)

4. One of my cats is currently sprawled on the keyboard making it somehow difficult trying to type.
