Introduction I have had a broad range of rich and interesting experiences in life. I enjoy simplicity, sleep a lot and am often grumpy when I wake up. My friends understand me. I love them, but sometimes hide in a cocoon and avoid them. This is just the way I am now. My best friend, Kate, and I have two adult sons, a dog called Booboo. We are renovating a cottage to PassivHaus standard. I am told I have an extremely low tolerance of the arrogant, frivolous, bullies, bigots and fools. Let's live harmoniously. I admire David Suzuki, David Attenborough, Aung San Suu Kyi, Penny Wong, Wangari Maathai. All free thinkers and good doers (without requiring a faith commitment) are on my list. After all that, I invite you to talk to me and share your story: we only grow by discovering and listening to others, and I'm still growing!
Interests Natural history; learning & discovering; supporting people, things and causes; drawing; writing; diversifying; thinking up bloody good ideas & then forgetting them.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

Our conversation will never conclude.
