About
66 yo but still working for my sins (sheetmetal/welding)
Live with my partner, cook, some TV but getting less thank god.
Hobbies when younger; 10 years in the BSAC. Later potholing, then climbing and mountaineering with my dog ( sadly gone)
Now enjoy walking and swimming, used to belong to a chior and will sing again.
Enjoy the challenge of getting a story out.

by 'Toe'. 1 year agoThanks AW, I'd forgotten about the wall. But am already traipsing through enough shit. I'll take what comes and ruminate on it. Yep, it'll be turned into something good - meaningful - even publishable, then where will we be?
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no man lives forever...! -

Then fertilise it my friend, that's what we're here for. Oh - and mind the cucumber... -
