about

If you feel you recognise me, it is because I look similar to every other bald, beardy bloke with glasses around the world….there are thousands of us!

I have come late to realising what I would like to do with my life. I have spent many years trying to fit into that square hole and when the geometry isn’t right, well……!

This having to talk about myself seems like something from a dating site, where I am compelled to include things which symbolise me, the thought makes me shudder.

Thank goodness I do not have to date any longer, what with the marriage and the teenage kids.

Here are some random and simplistic things I like, which may draw a better picture of me.

I like cycling, that’s a good start, road cycling specifically. I like Marmite on toast, I like to laugh, I like football, particularly Brighton & Hove Albion since I was 7, I like stretching like a cat or dog, I like cold showers, thank you Wim Hof, I like the absurd, I like the earth, I like the four seasons, I like timepieces, I like daydreaming, I like actual books, I like the way TV and films can move you, I like the green grass and of course the smell of freshly cut grass, speaking of smells, I like petrichor which is the smell of the rain on hot tarmac,

I like seeing my kids laugh and love it when they make me laugh, I like to raise my eyebrow, sometimes just because I can, I like a really good glass of red wine, but invariably settle for just a good glass, I like crushed up beans with melted butter on sourdough toast, I like history and geography and all those things I wasn’t interested in at school, I like the live version of Suspicious Minds by Elvis in Vegas, now that’s a performance, I like Billy Bragg and how he has spoken to me with his music since I was 16, I like a damned good thunderstorm, I like to be still, I like good shoes, I like Bob Mortimer, I like to be near the sea, or any body of water, I like to have a deep sleep, I like the dawn and the change of light, I like Greek islands, I like company and being on my own, I like the sound of the birds, even seagulls, I like hugs, especially with my wife, I like biscuits, I like my dog Chewie and I have even begun to like myself and that makes me smile and be happy.
