Kate Humble Quotes

[about working with Bill Oddie on "Springwatch" (2005) and "Autumnwatch" (2006)] I never, ever get bored. Bill ranges from being unpredictable to downright difficult, but he's passionate about his subject and has made an awful lot of other people so, too. You can't knock that. Sometimes I could cheerfully throttle him, and we have some heated (unprintable) exchanges. But the bottom line is I'm terribly fond of the old sod.

Of course, because they were for pierced ears, there was no way I could wear them so, the very next day, I went out and had them done. I've only had them pierced for a few weeks now, so it still feels a bit strange and I'm still getting used to them, but I like how they look and definitely wish I'd got them pierced ages ago instead of waiting until now.
