About Me

CURRENT MISSION

what makes people miserable?

ABOUT ME

Somehow i seem to spend an uncanny amount of time riding, fixing and thinking about bicycles.
My favourite times of the day are meal times.
I read less than I'd like to. Ditto gardening.
And have an ambivalent relationship with tobacco.
Big tea drinker.
Sandal wearer.

PHILOSOPHY

I am dust, and to dust I shall return,
so i try to take nothing for granted.
But that doesn't make it less real or, more importantly, less fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the Society of Friends I feel free to approach anyone to seek hospitality,
and am granted it when circumstances allow:
I would like to grant this gift to others
and support this community who offer it.

Interests

The human condition, my own condition, the natural world, music, oppression (and the cessation thereof)

  • running
  • gardening
  • politics
  • cars
  • music
  • cycling
  • economics

Music, Movies, and Books

Elvis, Tim Buckley, Kate Bush, Joan Baez make me feel good.
I wish there were more women in the music industry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won the heart of my teenage fancy (touch wood)!
Also really want to take a pee off a bridge onto a motorway - those stupid cars will see it coming but won't be able to run away. awwwww....

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about economics and politics and all that.
But i've come to know more about bike mechanics over the last few months
