about me

Optimistic realist seeks...

Someone should really write a book on how to write these things, they'd make a killing...

Like most of Melbourne, I'm interested in food, both cooking & eating. It's not a new obsession, both my parents are great cooks and I learned early. I love visiting food markets & restaurants when travelling, and discovering new flavours & ingredients. Cooking shows like River Cottage & Gourmet Farmer, make me want to move to the country and grow my own food, but really I'm a city girl at heart.

I see a lot of movies, usually something art house or with subtitles, but I don't mind a bit of Hollywood escapism (especially if there's a bucket of popcorn or choc top involved). I enjoy the theatre, dance, & live music; my degree's in Architecture and I really appreciate shows with a well designed set. I look forward to MIFF & the Arts Festival each year, and seeing things that challenge & expand my world view. The arts inspire me when I can't travel - and let's face it, most of us can't travel as much as we'd like.

I'm in the fortunate position of being able to walk to work, it's a nice way to start the day & on foot you see things you don't notice in a car, like interesting cloud formations, a new cafe opening up, a ripe fig hanging over a back fence! Along with short showers, composting, & recycling, walking's my way of making peace with the environment.

Life's been pretty good to me thus far, but one thing that would improve it (other than discovering I have an ageing, millionaire, spinster aunt), is meeting the right guy. Someone comfortable in himself, who has a social consciousness, smiles easily, values friends & family, and has his own interests as well as sharing a few of mine.

If any of this resonates, drop me a line.
