About me… I am 37 years old, physically unable to do most things but mentally very independent and motivated. I work in local government on built environment and equality issues. I am usually busy and need someone that doesn't mind routine, but who can also work flexibly on a variety of planned tasks, or as things crop up. Besides work, I enjoy intelligent conversation, places of interest, DIY, technology, theatre, music, cinema, and being with family and friends.
