Who I am

I'm a guy living in the Midland area of the UK and I'm a highways engineer. I am ginger, but not as ginger as I have been.  Contrary to what you might think, I don't have a problem with being a red-head; in fact I think it enables me to stand out more as an individual, making it easier to make a favourable first impression. My overwhelming passion in life is music, but I'm not one of those people who specialises in one genre to the exclusion of all others; in fact I have a very eclectic taste encompassing everything from most types of classical music to pop to rock to metal to blues to jazz to punk and new wave and indie music.

I also love to read both science and technical books and journals, and other less serious types of fiction such as horror, science fiction and fantasy.  I also like to write and play music and songs and, when I get the chance, I'll also write my own fictional stories.

I'm now a blogger too - here - and am always keen to find something new to learn.

I sometimes wonder when I find the time to sleep!
