6'4" tall and slowly shrinking! 57 and reasonably happy about it, as it gives credence to my "grumpy old man" status :-) Enjoying life and trying to deal with the odd curved ball it throws my way in a humourous and light-hearted way. Semi-retired from 30 years on the treadmill and now running my own company doing Engineering, Planning and Management type things. Still on that treadmill! Trying to do a lot more artwork again now that my semi-retirement theoretically gives me the time and space to indulge in hobbies again. Learning to play guitar and bass are still high on the agenda at present, but just as elusive. If you fancy checking out some of my artwork have a look at www.patkent.co.uk Generally becoming more self-contained about life and things, but somehow I'm still in there and willing to try and keep an open mind about life, things and people, well most people anyway. Seemed to have upset a few people in my time, mostly through misunderstanding, hope to rectify that before its too late. If not I won't be losing sleep over them. |
