I’m a freelance writer and embroiderer. Neither of these make me cool. Once upon a time I was a biochemist. This also ranks pretty low in coolness. I still do occasional research work but these days my doctor title usually only gets pulled out when dealing with bankers. They treat you much nicer if you have one.
I live in Germany - entirely through my own fault - but grew up in Australia. There I had a rust-bucket Toyota called Bob, a ragged assortment of friends and those family people. Here I have a rust-bucket VW bus called The Bulli, a German husband and a mongrel dog. I’ve been here nine years and have decided to call it home, at least until I can afford that deserted pacific island.
