Hi, I'll turn my hand to whatever I can so my flat is full of greenwood logs waiting to be split and carved; books waiting to be read; instruments waiting to be learned; tools waiting to be employed in some dramatic DIY endeavour; and canvas boards half-dry from an experiment in oil painting. I am slowly but surely making my way through them.

I have two different coloured eyes.
I never wanted to be a teacher.
I like Stewart Lee.
I will be studying Theology with Rowan Williams in October... bloody hell.
I am only squeamish about centipedes and people talking about open wounds at the dinner table.
When I was 5 I was nearly killed by a cricket ball - the shock and thrill of survival stimulated immediate devotion (in as much as I devote myself to any sport...) to the game.
I actually quite enjoy teaching.
