Character: Quite a simple sort, only two brain cells, mutually incompatible. Mary says that she knows that men all think about sex every two minutes, but I am the only one she knows who thinks about lunch every two minutes as well. She says I start thinking about lunch before I have finished breakfast. So with only two brain cells, only one partially working at a time and most of my thinking concentrated on food; please be assured that any seemingly coherent statements made are the result of purely random clattering on the keyboard.
Biog:
Cicero said one 'if you have a library, and a garden, then you have everything you need'; perhaps today we might add a fast internet connection!
For intellectual stimulation we do the Times Crossword (the easy one). I am learning French, German and Russian. Russian is HARD I hate St Cyril.
.
We are particularly interested in history, especially European history after all we are living through it!
If you don't know the history of something then you don't know how the present situation came about.
.
We have three cats one of whom is mad and attacks the others. We also have at least one cat burglar (probably two or more!) We call him George the cat Burglar he comes silently through both cat flaps and flees whenever we go in the kitchen. We dog share. A friend has a dog when she isn't supply teaching and we have her the rest of the time.
.
We live in England in Yorkshire so Edinburgh and London are both 200 miles away about 2 hours by train. We visit old friends and art galleries and the theatre. We collect opera on DVD. We went to Paris last month (managed to get in between riots!) Paris is 1 hour away by air. We like cooking but mainly simple recipes.
Interests: Cats, reading particularly history, cooking, current events and the ever-changing spectacle of everyday life.
