about me

I live in west London with my partner Anthony and our 19 year old son Joseph.

I thought it’d be a good idea to do an A-Z of little factoids about myself to give you a feel for who I am, which of course means thinking of 26 vaguely amusing points but to be honest I’m just not that interesting, so here are a few random ones for you:

I enjoy strength training so my ‘down-time’ is usually spent in the gym or at the pole studio. I’m still working toward increasing my unassisted chin-ups but I’ll get there.

I love to spreadsheet. Doesn’t matter what, just that feeling of organising data into neat little columns gives me a kick every time. I even have a spreadsheet of my spreadsheets.

I have given up trying to give up tsundoku (the act of accumulating piles of unread books). The intention of course is to one day get around to actually reading them all but the piles keep growing as I struggle to pass a bookshop without picking something up.

I take great pleasure in looking at things from different perspectives and playing around with the what ifs and the whys. Not necessarily with the desire to change anything but to gain a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are.

I love Bridgedale socks. They last for years and feel like hugs for your feet.

I’m good under pressure. I can spend hours in a state of indecision over stupid everyday choices but throw me into a life or death situation and everything comes into focus. I still prefer a quiet, drama-free existence but it’s not a bad superpower to have should ever I need it.

So that’s a bit about me, I look forward to getting to know about you.
