I dabble in this and that when it comes to art or craft. Some have been 20 year hobbies others 20 minute attempts. Film and Documentaries (the passionate eye) are a nice step up from movies. Season’s tickets to the Royal Alex with some friends are my favorite girls night out. Whether it is staying overnight at a nature reserve, cottaging or a 10K hike I do like to get outside - I've yet to discover the winter equivalent that keeps me as happy as cross-country skiing and a hotel.

I'm on the Dating / Long-Term boarder. I think crossing the boarder has more to do with the person than much else.

I'm well spoken but would feel I should read more than the news paper.
If you find me funny you will likely think I'm hilarious.
I enjoy conversation most when it challenges my experience, but not when it sets up a teacher/ student relationship.

The city has so much to offer and I don't get out enough but am eager and adventurous to get back into this habit. I'm an early riser and early to bed type. Working part-time allows me more freedom during the day and early evening than most. Would, it be more prestigious to say I am semi retired and manage well so am available most days?

Jazz and Blues' Festival are a major treat for the city in the summer.
Live music seems to be everyone’s favorite experience weather it be in a small venue, festival or summer concert. The shared experience adds to the excitement.
I find nature gives me balance; I enjoy hikes and visiting further afield (driving, camping or cottaging).

I enjoy the ethnic foods and culture virtually all Arts. At one time my cooking was better than most restaurants could manage although, I'm out of practice. Perhaps a sou chef would help.

Despite my focus on activity I would rather spend time with someone I get along with, than match interest for interest. I tend to be very flexible, spontaneous and quickly change to match my companies’ interests. I would like to meet a laid back and easygoing fellow.

I have achieved inward peace, have addressed all health concerns, growing wise, maintained close friends (who I have now seen through several decades), developed a sense of achievement and feel I've contributed to society in ways other than family. I ended up living a different version of life and family than expected.


Thank you for taking time to read my self-reflections.
Perhaps you'll let me know how accurate they are at a later date.

This time of year tea is the thing.
