i have moved on from paid #work and now seek less-stressful, #collaborative and #creative things to do. i was an #academic at #QUT for a long time, but now i care for grandchildren, rehabilitate the #SevenHillsBushlandReserve, help with #BeelarongCommunityGarden and maintain a portfolio of interests. some of these are new (eg. acoustic #bird identification, brewing #cider) and some long-standing (#cycling, #reading #philosophy, #journaling, etc).

(Haley Starshine is my hero! ;) )

A long time ago I was a guitar player and teacher, later a designer, now a computer-er and part time student.

I listen to music (orchestral, chamber, 60s jazz, millennial dad-rock, etc.) and read books. I’m in the thrall of a small person. I like looking at trees.

I live on Yuggera Country.

Animal lover.

I also have a thing for craft beer, and did so before it was quite as trendy as today.

I live in Meanjin/Brisbane QLD Australia - in Bardon 4065 - on the land of the Turrbul and Jagera people. I'm British and moved here ten years ago.
