A kiwi. A builder. A musician. A believer in science ahead of fallacies.
Like to ponder because it's good for the brain and doesn't require too much physicality.
Only swear when I'm frustrated, annoyed or just plain P......off.
I live in South Canterbury. The most livable climate in Aotearoa NZ.
An Otrovert.

Te Tai o Potini Aotearoa

I like walking, gardening, music, chatting, learning and helping. I am also enjoying writing #alttext and sometimes hiding little messages there.
Initially this was a backup plan... I'm staying, I like it here 🤩
