I love this! But what, exactly, is a bodger and a munrobagger? We have a lot of colloquialisms here in the Southern US, many from Scots-Irish roots. But these I've not heard of. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. My list would be much shorter!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks for your kind reviews. I guess that I've been lucky to have had more time to pursue all these interests. A bodger is someone who turns his hand to all sorts of DIY tasks. A munro IS Scottish mountain over 3000 ft so a munrobagger is someone who climbs them (282).
All the best,
Alan

Ah! That explain the last name Munro. There are lots of Munros (or Munroe) in these parts.

We are all many things and wear many hats in life. Is there a site where you display your woodwork?

So… are you a full monroist?

[alanwgraham]

I have a few examples of my woodworking around the house. Yes, I am a full munroist. I finished all the 280 munros, mountains over 3000 feet, about 30 years ago.
Take care,
Alan

[MomzillaNC]

Have you thought of hosting a virtual exhibit on your own website?

[alanwgraham]

Ha, ha. I am too modest! What I am most proud of is my writing which is all on writers cafe.
Thanks again for your kind encouragement.

A billion and one labels... But the only one that matters is... Human.
We come from the same genetic soup. We all have the same potential. We all come into the world the same way. We all leave the same way. With nothing.
Lessons for a world...

What a great comment M J, and so true. We are all formed from the same genes but unfortunate life with all its ups and downs determines the end result.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Take care,
Alan

The Swiss army knife of men 😊
It would probably have ruined the flow of your piece Alan, but I think you forgot the bit that gets stones out of horses hooves 😊
Hope all is well with you and yours and are all propellorly hunkered down for the winter.

[alanwgraham]

I feel a bit of a twit inflicting this nonsense on the cafe..I'm finding more imaginative writing a struggle. To cut or not to cut my pills? Thanks for your good wishes. All fine here and hope same with you.
Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan, how have you found the time to fit so many different things into your life. I wouldn't even have a third of those in my list. Those Munros would have me beat for sure. The knees are shot, as well as the back and the shoulders and the elbows. Put me down. Love the content, my friend. Have a wonderful evening....Mike.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Mike. I think you would surprise yourself. Most of these things I do badly but I enjoy trying.
Cheers,
Alan

[shadrach hah]

Always welcome Alan. Enjoy the thoughts. Have a wonderful evening....Mike.

[barleygirl]

WOW! I don't dare be this revealing! Fun idea, tho! Tempting (((HUGS)))

[alanwgraham]

Ha ha Margie. Just a flight of fancy and I've left out all the embarrassing ones. Hope you are fine.

This describes me to a T. How did you know?
Excellent, witty, self portrait of an excellent, witty,artist.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Ken. I'm afraid I do a lot of things but not that well. I know that you do several things extremely well!
All the best,
Alan

Pish and tush Alan.

[Lathen Griffiths]

Very clever, I must admit I had never heard of a Munrobagger, I’ll have to look up the Welsh equivalent.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Lathen. Not to be taken too seriously but most of us do underrate all the things we can do.read moreThanks Lathen. Not to be taken too seriously but most of us do underrate all the things we can do.

And a dreamer of course, for where would we be without dreams.

That was really amazing. Great Stuff!

[alanwgraham]

Belated thanks Sushma. I would love to know your list. Remember that I don't do any of these things that well.
