In His Own Words
About him
‘The pleasure lies not in discovering the truth but in searching for it.’ in 'Anna Karenina', Tolstoy.
A creative person with lots to share.
A listener with lots to learn.
A bloke with humour with lots to laugh about.
A person with eyes wide open with lots to see.
Me: Honest and relaxed and fun. Positive outlook – why waste time worrying. There is no time but the present, but appreciate the past and look rosily on the future.
Make the most of the least.

Work: both professional and non-professional - not tradey or banking! I work. I don’t think I’ll ever stop working as long as I am able. Working enables me to be productive, and learn – I’m a lifelong learner. That doesn’t mean that I don’t mind relaxing – everything in moderation – including moderation.
Love: smelling cut grass, the tones and shapes of clouds, fifty shades of green in the forest, listening to the rain thudding on a tin roof, reading in the bath, nodding off, and, yes, I have a few post-sodden books on my shelves. And, to me, I'd rather 'to do' than 'to say'.
About his ideal match
Caring and loving and time to laugh.
And explore, see the things around and appreciate everything for what it is and everyone for whom they are.
Career options you may have experienced: a lawyer, an artist, a photographer, a musician, a singer, a doctor, a real estate consultant, or media, or beauty consultant, a model , a librarian, medical, a travel consultant, a reader, a writer, a film or museum or gallery attendee, and a gardener or hairdresser, a speech pathologist, OT or psych, or perhaps a viola or cello player. You: caring, conscientious, cheerful, collegiate, cuddly and kindly (yes, I know that last trait begins with a ‘k’).
