About Me

Working for a public library service. Half the week I manage a branch library - or should I say it copes with me - and the other half I manage the library's web site and other IT related thingummies. Studying for a BSc in Computer Studies at night classes. Currently taking a gap year because I can't sit for long periods, at the moment. Love my kids, infuriating though they can be (I was never young and couldn't possibly understand!!!), love my very understanding and forgiving wife and I love my Border Collie and wish I'd got her sister, too, when we bought her at 12 weeks.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Roger Waters (bow, scrape), Alan Hinks, Chris Bonnington, Terry Pratchett, Donna Leon and David Hewson.

Pratchett and Alzheimer’s

Just heard that Terry Pratchett, one of my all time heroes, has the early stages of Alzheimers. I'm really depressed - this disease is what killed my mother and I know what he is about to face. He ask...
