About Me

Hi, I'm Val.

I have a terrible sense of humour, a running commentary in my head I need to be rid of and a love for all things I have been undeservedly blessed with.

​

if you've ever driven past me on the road, I'm probably that crazy driver head banging and who looked like she was screaming/ singing at the top of her lungs to her spotify playlist - or if I'm not driving, I am that girl decked out in activewear carrying a cloth bag and walking a white mini labradoodle who's on the hunt for the next mud spot he can roll himself in.

​

I share as @valalelor, once wrote at w_iredblind@livejournal and slice avocados and fruits at my work desk. Its nice to meet you too.
