I'm English (Mercian). I'm an old man in his seventies. I'm married with grandkids . I try to be nice. I guess I sometimes fail 😢 I like music, mainly classical and jazz/funk. I run and use a gym. I like to take photos. No alcohol, no drugs, no gambling.

Time for a dose of The Lady's Companion on Netflix. Very light and entertaining.

Found a dead rat in the garden. That's dinner sorted if I can find the ketchup. #TerryPratchett
