I once read a couplet describing a character as 'a lover of books but a reader of man, no cynic and no charlatan' and thought what an epitaph it would be to have. I'm still kinda workin' on it...

Music, Movies, and Books

Very ecclectic musical taste,

Books: mostly non fiction, with some exceptions like Carlos Ruiz Zaffon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i did manage to make my way home in Moscow without being able to see anything when my glasses were destroyed (despite only having lived there a short while already and my prescription is minus 17!!), climbed the tallest mountain in Ireland and an active volcano (not in Ireland 😝), and have been on Russian tv.
