CURRENT MISSION Easing into retirement. Getting used to doing things as and when I feel like it instead of because I have to. Is more challenging than I would have thought. ABOUT ME I am sensitive to tobacco smoke, and also hate the smell of it even on peoples clothes, so want non smokers only as guests. I don't have a mobile online device, usually turn my computer on in the evening, not every day. This is why I have not seen a lot of requests to stay here until too late. PLEASE CONTACT ME A FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE if you might like to stay Originally middle class English, have spent a long time overcoming my upbringing (I hope). Have a dry sense of humour that bites and am probably not very PC. People seem to think I'm eccentric but I reckon they are the strange ones. PHILOSOPHY I choose to believe that how I live my life does make a difference, and the only way that makes sense is if something else comes after. I don't know what and don't think anyone else does either. Sometimes I think I do the best I can and sometimes I wonder

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like the idea of meeting and talking in some depth with random strangers. I usually enjoy having people stay. It seems a good way to find places to stay if I travel.
Music, Movies, and Books
Not much into movies. Like most music if not too commercial, loud, arty or ambient. Too many books/authors to mention - fantasy/sifi, humour, science and anything to make me think or take me somewhere else.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Waking up one morning with more than 5 senses. Didn't seem to be hallucination as info gained checked out amazingly well. This lasted several months. Too interesting to be scary.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A somewhat bent sense of humour. Facility with maths and numbers. Ability to fix a lot of non electronic things. A variety of games. An interest in most subjects. Living without waste.
My Interests
personal growth, maths, card and board games, writing and performing songs, stand up and whatever, current events specially in science, gardening and landscaping, alternative lifestyles, furniture making, building and renovating, hanging out with kids in general and toddlers in particular, etc etc.
