About me

Introduction I'm a slightly autistic, ambivalently Christian, recovering depressive and bibliomaniac trying to make sense of life. This blog will probably be about whatever I've been thinking about, reading or doing lately, including the astonishing insights I've just had that it turns out everyone else knew all along.
Interests Amateur dramatics, country walks, reading, cooking, gardening, words
Favorite Movies Fantasia, Bernard and the Genie, Twelfth Night starring Imogen Stubbs as Viola. A television series I could watch over and over again is Red Dwarf - as a teenager, I identified with Rimmer, which probably gives you fair warning.
Favorite Music Tom Paxton, Flanders and Swann, Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Starting to learn about classical music - which means I'm at the Classic FM stage rather than the Radio 3 stage.
Favorite Books Silas Marner by George Eliot, More Lives Than One by Libby Purves, Mirror Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold, Code Blue - Emergency by James White, Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke, Purgatorio by Dante - there's a very long list

If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay?

Dirt that likes its friends enough to want to stick with them even when the relationship starts getting dry and static.
