The agony of naming my blog

I agonized over the title of my blog. In the back of my mind was the name Mum gave me in my teenage years: Grasshopper Brain. I was just interested in lots of things, all at the same time. Perhaps I was an early multitasker! Perhaps it's because I'm a Gemini. A friend recently called me a polymath, which sounded more complimentary than Grasshopper Brain.

Then I thought about Poppy Dreams. Red poppies are my favourite flowers and I take the chance to photograph them whenever I can. I rejected it when I realised it had connotations of illicit substances- not my thing.

Perhaps Heart Lines, or Heart Felt. They sounded a bit self indulgent. I didn't want my blog to be all about my heart, which is pretty dodgy and keeping me off work and giving me the time to blog. You might hear about this from time to time, but there are much more interesting people, books and things to write about!   So, I settled on Curious Pam. I'm interested in lots of things. For example, I can't stand the taste of Scotch Whiskey but I loved going through a whiskey distillery in Scotland and learning all about the process. I love underground tours in foreign cities and have even done the Sewer Tour of Paris (had to hold the nose for that one). I like being the listener and learner instead of the 'sage on the stage' which teaching requires.   Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.
