I’m a guy sometimes called oorbz, who lives close to the Essex coast in the East of England. I’m at home in the countryside or the town and am happy on my own or in the company of others. I’m all things for all occasions and though the style and image may have changed with the times, essentially I’m still the same person underneath. You can find out who that is from this site. Thanks for visiting.
After a long career in the commercial sector (I’m older than I look – which is the right way to be) I took a couple of years out, went back to school and retrained. I now work full time for an environmental education charity – my dream job – and spend my days (evenings, weekends) with a great bunch of people who are so much more than colleagues – they’re true friends.
In addition to working for a charity full time, I also volunteer at my local Cancer Research UK shop on the weekend. There is a history of cancer in the family and I think all of us know someone or have been touched by someone who has been affected by cancer. This is my way of making some contribution towards fighting the disease.
In the hours that I have left, I enjoy spending time with my friends, walking, cycling, gardening, nature, movies, tv, cult stuff (fiction/films/tv etc. – not devil worship or anything along those lines) and sometimes I can be found in London – or South Africa.
I’m in a long term relationship and very happy with the status quo. The path here has been more of a rocky road than a yellow brick one, but we’ve made it to Wonderland, which in my eyes is vastly superior to Oz.
The most-recent love to enter my life is Clio, my gorgeous one-eyed blue grey domestic short haired cat, who I adopted at the local RSPCA shelter. Clio is just over a year old and has been living with me since July 2009. I adore her. She adores the food I give her.
Life is good right now and I’m happy. Hope you are too.
