Personal space? Don't we all share a universe?

tinker n. itinerant mender of kettles, pans etc,a gypsy or vagrant. A botcher or bungler, a maker of temporary, slight or unskillful patching-ups. (with with) to potter, adjust or deal with in trivial ways. And if I had a bell I'd be a fairy.

I live in the UK, on the outskirts of the Peak District National Park and quite near to Manchester. I like to think this is the best of both worlds.

I was born in the year of the pig, under the sign of the lion.

I ride motorbikes. Every day. I smile a lot, because I think it is better than the alternatives. I nurture my inner punk.

I like listening to music, and I seem to respond particularly well to guitars, Africa, and Leonard Cohen.

I like maps, plans, and diagrams. I frequently draw my own.

I like high places and views. I think they help one to get a perspective on life. I think we wildly overestimate the value of a massive forebrain, and I don't think it is the pinnacle of evolution.
