I'm basically kind, loyal and genuine - a good friend and a good listener - I'll be there for you in times of crises. I've been separated for a while but am on good terms with my ex so am not carrying around any heavy baggage. I have one daughter who's 21 and lives with me - she's the only one who can drives me nuts and make me cry with laughter in equal amounts! Not a bad thing at the end of the day ....... I love getting lost in a good book, good film or good conversation/discussion. I've got 2 part-time jobs - one as an Administrator for a charity and the other as an Adult Literacy Tutor taking groups in Basic IT and English as a Second Language - also do mystery shopping to top up income which can be fun. My goal is simply to be happy - just that sense of well being you get occasionally that makes you glad to be alive? Is it possible to have that most of the time or is that just a pipe dream? I love animals and have 2 mad cats who keep me amused on a daily basis! I think they chose us rather than the other way round. I love long walks preferably along a beach somewhere. And cycling. I also have an interest in Scottish History and quite enjoy exploring old, ruined buildings or graveyards. (It's NOT weird!) My taste in music is pretty broad - pop, rock, Scottish, folk, traditional, country, classical - I can pretty much listen to anything and generally pick and choose depending on what mood I'm in at the time.
