In His Own Words
About him
I'm passionate about: art (Ancient Egyptian to Grayson Perry), architecture (The Colosseum to Frank Gehry), industrial design, CAD (Photoshop, SketchUp, etc.), photography, music of most genres, but especially guitar - (Clapton/Knopfler/Bream/Andrew York), Dylan of course, Joni Mitchell 🎵, Sissel Kyrkjebų, Ana Moura (and Fado), POTO at the RAH?; classical - Grieg, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Dvořįk, Chopin, et al., Hiromi Uehara and her phenomenal jazz piano improvisations 🎹, e.g. Pachelbel's Canon or her superbly sensitive "Wake up and Dream" (YouTube); fillums, a humongous collection to watch whilst tickling each other's toes.
A restless, enquiring mind - fascinated by the beauty, science and magic of nature (such as... watching/investigating a spider spinning a web or capturing and enveloping its prey : - o); stargazing on clear Autumn nights, waiting for the next Roswell... but only until my knees start to knock and nose turns blue with the cold!
Likes some DIY - carpentry & plumbing a speciality... prices on application ; - ), own house builder; growing things to eat (blackcurrants, damsons, roobarb this year... yummy!). Loves getting down and dirty in the garden occasionally... unless I've got a headache. : - /
Passable cook, neither galloping nor inebriate (only mature food programme fans will get that).
Enjoys intelligent conversation on artistic, scientific and musical subjects (and funny laugh-out-loud ones too). : - )
Scrabble World Champion... (in my own fertile imagination). : - (
Not much joy in getting thoroughly trounced by computer AI on my laptop though... so need an easy-to-beat living opponent instead.
Still think I'm a 17 year old, sat at the back of a school classroom, eyeing all the girls who I'd love to go out with and wondering if they'd be interested in me? A chalk duster whizzes past my ear... the teacher shouts - "Your mind's wandering again, boyo!"... *methinks* - "He's right... I only need just one!"
About his ideal match
Someone who values her own space, yet enjoys quality time together when bored with that, and possibly shares some of my interests, as I would share hers, such as cooking, washing-up, ironing, knitting and sewing... errrm, no... forget the last three...
I was on a roll.
Don't ask me about the offside rule, 'cause I haven't the foggiest either. (I find sports/football talk sooooo boring)
A non-snorer (ideally) who sleeps on the left side of the bed, or the right side depending on which way you look at it (although a compromise could be reached as part of a prenuptial agreement).
Must like spiders*.
*Non-domesticated garden variety only.
Seriously though... a petite, demonstrative, tactile and loving lady who likes and appreciates warm hugs and kisses!
Computer-savvy maybe, perhaps a bit geeky, and interested in both the old and the new.
No Botox, lip-fillers, facelifts, boob enhancements or horn implants, please.
Thanks for reading, if you struggled to reach this far. : - )
P.S. By other languages spoken I mean a smattering of French and a spluttering of German.
P.P.S. I know how to spell roobarb BTW... just testing to see if you were awake!
