Profile

I'm in my late thirties. If you're planning on living to seventy, late thirties equals middle age. As the women in my family generally live well into their nineties, I like to think of myself as still in the early stages of my life.

I'm a professional nerd (web developer - old school - PHP). I currently work for a Registered Charity, maintaining and expanding their growing internet presence, running consultations, producing information leaflets and writing the quarterly newsletter.

Yes - a nerd who does PR. I am aware how unusual that is.

Before I got married and spawned I was a biochemist working in veterinary medicine. It mostly involved playing with blood, lymph, shit and intestinal parasites, so I don't really miss it.

I write - not at a professional level, but I know what a gerund is and where to put a semi-colon. Unfortunately, I have a tragic affliction that causes me to dump commas everywhere. Cold medication helps!

I'm married with three spawn. My parenting style consists of saying 'Google it' when they ask a question and shouting at them when they fuck up. Oddly, my kids are all well behaved, polite and academically gifted. I have no idea why.
