I'm a maths teacher with a BSc.(Hon) in Astrophysics, but previously worked in computing for many years. My interests are astronomy/astrophysics, biblical history, amateur radio, music and all sorts of crafts. I play the flute, have dogs, cats, rabbits, kids and a poor long suffering husband who complains at the amount of time I spend on Wikipedia.

[edit] Some thoughts


  • Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
  • Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.


  • You cannot claim a right that you are not prepared to grant to others.


  • Just because no one understands you doesn't mean you're creative.


  • Never wrestle with a pig in mud. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.


  • "I may have been on the losing side - still not convinced it was the wrong one" Malcolm Reynolds

Don't mess with this lot - if you've seen Monty Python you'll know what I mean. Unfortunately the little black rabbit Rosie died aged 8 1/2

Gandalf - thought he was a dog (top dog) and was the world's most clumsy pain in the **** cat there was (why do you always love the ones who cause the most damage?). Sadly died in September 2006 due to congenital heart failure aged only 5 1/2

The new arrivals. Poppy (an RSPCA rescue - found pregnant and in a bad way) and Pippin (born 1/3/07)(thankfully the 5 kittens were all ok - the other 4 have gone in pairs to good homes). As you can see she is fine now and has settled really well.
